Where to Add Antifreeze in Pajero?
1 Answers
Mitsubishi Pajero's antifreeze reservoir is located behind the front bumper grille, mounted together with the condenser. The antifreeze replacement procedure is as follows: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipelines, with particular attention to the five-way water pipe. The five-way pipe gets its name from having five connecting interfaces to various components. Antifreeze flows through the five-way pipe before being distributed to different parts of the vehicle to perform its function. If there's any antifreeze leakage in this section, replace the water pipe or resecure the interface as necessary. Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the fluid channels with clean water. Add water to the antifreeze reservoir and continue adding water until it flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water draining from the reservoir may appear slightly pinkish. Continue adding water until the outflow is clear. Note: Don't forget to remove the heater hose to drain the water from the heater core. Approximately one hour after draining, add the new antifreeze through the radiator hose to allow it to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another container of antifreeze to the reservoir until it's nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As the cooling system expels some air, the fluid level will drop. Top up the antifreeze to the reservoir's maximum mark "MAXT".
