Where to Add Water in Jianghuai Refine?
4 Answers
Jianghuai Refine adds water in the radiator. Open the engine hood, the fan is fixed on the radiator, where you can see a coolant filling point. The radiator cap is right above it, just open it to add water. The radiator is a crucial component of a water-cooled engine, absorbing heat from the cylinder block to prevent engine overheating. Due to water's high specific heat capacity, the temperature rise after absorbing the cylinder block's heat is not significant. The dimensions of Jianghuai Refine are 5035mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1970mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3080mm. Jianghuai Refine adopts a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, featuring double-wishbone independent front suspension and leaf-spring non-independent rear suspension.
As a JAC Refine owner, I've added water to my car during maintenance quite often. The place to add water is under the hood. After opening it, you'll see a plastic tank, usually labeled with 'coolant' or marked with a liquid icon—that's where you add water. The water level should be between the minimum and maximum lines. If it's too low, just add some distilled water or dedicated coolant, but remember to do this only when the engine is cold—opening it while hot can cause burns. Low water levels can lead to overheating and breakdowns, and in winter, the water might even freeze. I recommend checking the water level weekly and avoiding tap water to prevent rust and blockages. Before driving, check the dashboard for any coolant temperature warning lights—safety first.
I've been using my JAC Refine for ten years, and adding water requires careful operation. The water filling point is in the cooling tank in the engine compartment, roughly near the fan position, where there's a translucent box where you can see blue or green liquid. When adding water, make sure the car is parked and turned off for a while, wait until the engine cools down, then slowly add purified water or the manufacturer-recommended coolant up to the middle mark—don't overfill it to avoid spillage. Why add water? Over time, coolant evaporates and decreases, and failing to replenish it in time can affect the cooling system, making the engine prone to damage under high temperatures. I usually check the fluid levels during weekend maintenance and, after adding, start the car to see if the cooling fan is running.
I've been driving my JAC Refine for several years, and the water filling position is under the hood at that large plastic tank marked with coolant. The operation is simple: park the car and wait for the engine to cool down, unscrew the cap and slowly pour water in, don't exceed the MAX line. The water level decreases due to high-temperature evaporation, and failing to top it up in time can cause engine problems. It's good practice to glance at the water level before driving to avoid trouble.
