Where to add water in Emgrand GS?
3 Answers
Emgrand GS water is added in the engine compartment. Emgrand GS water is mainly divided into 3 types: summer type, winter antifreeze type, and special antifreeze type. The specific introductions are as follows: 1. Summer type: mainly adds insect removal gum ingredients to the cleaning fluid, which can quickly remove the residues of insects hitting the windshield. 2. Winter antifreeze type: mainly ensures that it will not freeze and damage car facilities when the external temperature is below -20℃. 3. Special antifreeze type: mainly ensures that it will not freeze even at -40℃, suitable for use in extremely cold regions.
I've been driving an Emgrand GS for three years, and adding water depends on what exactly you're adding. Windshield washer fluid is the easiest to top up—just pop the hood, find the blue cap on the left with the windshield spray icon, and pour in dedicated washer fluid. Coolant goes into the plastic reservoir at the front right, marked with a high-temperature warning symbol; always use the specified color of antifreeze. The battery is maintenance-free and requires no water at all. Once, a friend of mine nearly caused serious trouble by pouring mineral water into the coolant reservoir—I recommend keeping a bottle of washer fluid in the trunk, especially before long trips when you should check the level markers. In northern winters, switch to antifreeze washer fluid to prevent the nozzles from freezing. Always turn off the engine and let it cool before adding any fluids yourself.
Having repaired cars for twelve years, I can locate all the fluid positions of the Emgrand GS with my eyes closed. Adding water mainly refers to two types: the windshield washer fluid reservoir is on the left side of the engine bay, with a prominent blue fan-shaped cap—this is where you refill when the wipers stop spraying. The coolant reservoir is on the front right side, marked with MAX/MIN level lines and has a pink or green cap. Important reminder: don’t add to the wrong place! I’ve seen customers mistakenly pour windshield washer fluid into the brake fluid reservoir—a disastrous mistake. Coolant must use the OEM-specified formula; mixing can corrode the pipes. Always carry a bottle of concentrated windshield washer fluid in your car; the washer fluid tank has a capacity of about 3-4 liters. For older cars, check the hose connections, as rubber deterioration can cause leaks. All filler caps have foolproof designs—if it doesn’t align, don’t force it.
