What is the normal water level for a car?
1 Answers
The water level should be between the two lines marked on the reservoir. Below is relevant information about diesel engine coolant systems: 1. Function: To cool the engine by dissipating heat from water. In summer, it's necessary to use summer-grade antifreeze coolant, which has a boiling point around 108°C (higher than water) to prevent overheating. In winter, winter-grade antifreeze should be used to ensure the coolant doesn't freeze outdoors while still providing cooling. High-quality antifreeze can protect down to about -60°C. 2. Cleaning method: First, prepare a cleaning solution with 30kg water, 2.5kg caustic soda, and 0.6kg kerosene, then pour it into the coolant reservoir. Start the diesel engine and let it run at medium speed for about 10 minutes before shutting it off. After 10-12 hours, restart the engine and run at medium speed for another 10 minutes before shutting off and draining the cleaning solution. Add clean coolant water, start the engine, and let it run at medium speed for self-cleaning. Repeat this process 2-3 times to completely remove scale deposits.
