Where to Add Water to the Car Radiator?
1 Answers
The water filler port of the car radiator is generally located on the right side of the engine compartment, usually next to the windshield washer fluid filler port. Relevant information about the radiator is as follows: 1. The radiator is usually located behind the air conditioning condenser: Opening the engine compartment only reveals the upper cover of the radiator; the exact position of the radiator can only be clearly seen after removing the front bumper cover. 2. Coolant is suitable for all seasons: Although water is also a type of coolant and can cool the engine, the coolant filled in the engine is a mixture of coolant concentrate and water in a specific standard ratio. However, water alone is considered a low-grade coolant, which is not only affected by seasonal changes but also prone to scale and rust. In contrast, coolant is suitable for all seasons, of high quality, and ensures reliable performance. 3. Adding water to the radiator is not permitted by manufacturers: If damage to the radiator or engine occurs due to adding water, it will not be covered under warranty, leaving the owner to bear the consequences. The most troublesome issue for drivers using water as a coolant is the problem of scale. Scale adheres to the metal surfaces of the radiator and water jacket, increasingly reducing the cooling efficiency and making it difficult to remove.
