Where is the radiator located in the Qashqai?
1 Answers
The radiator of the Qashqai is located in the front engine compartment, specifically in the lower position near the intake grille. There is an auxiliary water tank where you can add coolant. Related information is as follows: 1. Coolant: Nowadays, car radiators are usually filled with coolant, also known as antifreeze, rather than water. The coolant level should be maintained between the min and max marks. If it falls below the min mark, you need to add the same brand and specification of coolant or replace it entirely. The choice of coolant mainly depends on the local minimum temperature, and it is generally all-season type when the car leaves the factory. 2. Do not add tap water: Never add tap water, as it easily forms scale, which is highly harmful to the car. The thermal conductivity of scale is very low, being 1/25 of cast iron and 1/50 of brass. Once scale forms, the thermal conductivity of the coolant is significantly reduced, causing the engine temperature to rise and corrosion to worsen, which in turn promotes more scale formation, creating a vicious cycle.
