What Type of Antifreeze Should Be Added to FAW-Volkswagen Tayron?
1 Answers
FAW-Volkswagen commonly uses G11, G12, and G13 antifreeze (coolant). Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and providing year-round protection against scale and corrosion. How to Choose Antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. Available in the market are antifreeze with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it's advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Types of Antifreeze: Antifreeze is generally categorized into three types: ethanol-water, glycerol-water, and ethylene glycol-water. How to Determine if Antifreeze is Low: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it may indicate low antifreeze levels, though it could also be due to excessively high engine temperature. Check the antifreeze reservoir. If the liquid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving; add antifreeze promptly. Check the water level scale on the antifreeze bottle. The normal antifreeze level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If it's below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage of antifreeze.
