What is the method for replacing the coolant in a Magotan?
2 Answers
The method for replacing the coolant in a Magotan is as follows: 1. Open the engine hood and prop up the engine support rod; 2. Locate the coolant reservoir; 3. Find the coolant drain plug at the bottom of the vehicle, open the plug, and drain the remaining coolant; 4. After draining, check to ensure all coolant has been emptied; 5. Tighten the drain plug and pour new coolant from the inlet. Taking the 2020 Magotan as an example, it is a mid-size car with body dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, 1471mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. The 2020 Magotan is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum power of 110kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been thinking about changing the coolant for years, and the key is to follow the steps. First, wait for the engine to cool down completely—working on a hot engine can easily cause burns. Open the engine hood and locate the expansion tank, then unscrew the cap to release pressure. Next, crawl under the car to find the radiator drain valve, use a 12mm wrench to turn it counterclockwise, and place a large basin underneath to catch the old fluid. Important note: old coolant is toxic, so it must be stored in a sealed container and taken to an auto repair shop for proper disposal. After draining, remember to close the valve and check the hoses for cracks while you're at it. When adding new coolant, choose the same color as the original factory fluid—I usually fill it just below the MAX line on the expansion tank. Start the car and let it idle for ten minutes; if the fluid level drops, top it up until the fan kicks in, which means the coolant is circulating properly. Finally, tighten the cap and test-drive the car. Check the fluid level again after two or three days. The whole process takes about half an hour, but don't skip the safety gear—goggles and gloves are a must.
