In front of the bumper and behind the engine, here is some relevant information: 1. Bumper: The car bumper is a safety device designed to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the front and rear parts of the vehicle body. Many years ago, car bumpers were made of steel plates pressed into channel steel, riveted or welded to the frame longitudinal beams, with a significant gap from the body, which looked quite unattractive. 2. Engine: An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, internal combustion engines typically convert chemical energy into mechanical energy.

















As a Englon owner, you can see the main radiator tank by opening the hood on the right side. The radiator is positioned at the very front of the car, with a high-temperature warning label on the radiator cap. The overflow tank is more conspicuous - it's a white translucent plastic container, typically mounted behind the left headlight or near the windshield corner. I just topped up the coolant last week. There are MIN-MAX level marks on the side of the overflow tank, and filling to the midpoint is ideal. Always wait for the engine to cool before adding coolant to avoid potential splashing. The overflow tank in this car is designed slightly higher than in conventional vehicles, so remember to use a funnel when pouring.

As an auto mechanic, I've worked on over a dozen vehicles. The main radiator is connected to the radiator grille frame - it's the silver cooling fins located directly behind the front of the car. The position of the overflow tank varies by model: for classic versions it's strapped next to the battery frame, while for King Kong versions it was relocated beside the windshield washer reservoir. You can identify them by material - the milky-white tank with blue cap is the coolant overflow tank, while the transparent tank with black cap is the washer fluid reservoir. Check fluid levels when the engine is cold for more accurate readings. If below the MIN line, top up with OEM green antifreeze. The overflow tank has anti-slip clips at the bottom - just press the spring clips on both sides when removing or installing.

Englon's cooling system design is actually quite clever. The main radiator is located behind the grille, handling the engine's primary cooling circulation. The auxiliary tank (expansion tank) serves as a pressure regulator: coolant level should be between marks when cold, rising about 1cm when hot. It's typically mounted on the left-side bracket in the engine bay, identifiable by the rubber hose connecting to the main radiator. Older models were prone to broken mounting clips - worth checking hose condition for aging/leaks during maintenance. Always use manufacturer-specified coolant; mixing different colored antifreeze can create gel-like deposits.

A friend who just bought a used British car asked the same question. The main reservoir is close to the radiator fan guard, and the cap has a pressure relief valve. To locate the auxiliary reservoir, look for three features: semi-transparent material, a blue cap, and two rubber tubes connecting to the main reservoir. In newer models, it's moved to a bracket behind the , while older models often place it on the left side of the firewall. It's recommended to check the fluid level monthly; if it frequently drops, inspect the water pump's seal. When adding coolant yourself, remember to dilute it with distilled water—regular water can cause scale buildup and clog the pipes. In emergencies, purified water can be added, but the freezing point will decrease.

An experienced mechanic at the auto repair shop taught me about the layout of British car models. There's a manufacturer's aluminum label in front of the main radiator. The positioning principle for the auxiliary tank is 'avoid heat, stay close to the main': it should be kept away from the exhaust pipe but near the main radiator return pipe, with its classic location being on the fixing bracket of the left longitudinal beam in the engine bay. The 2012 model's auxiliary tank has a capacity of about 1.2L, and its connecting pipe joints are prone to leakage, requiring regular tightening. Replacement costs are not high, with parts priced around 80 yuan, but it's important to ensure all air is purged during installation to avoid airlocks. It's recommended to replace the coolant every 40,000 kilometers to prevent acidification and corrosion of the cylinder block.
