| 1. The reason of many characteristic engine failures is malfunction of system of cooling. On cars with automatic transmission the condition of system of cooling which cools also transmission liquid, essentially influences durability and non-failure operation of work of transmission. |
| 2. The system of cooling is checked on the cold engine. Check system to a trip, or not less than 3 hours later after an engine stop. |
| 3. Turn a radiator stopper to the left against the stop. If hissing (that testifies to residual pressure in cooling system) is heard, a stopper do not get before complete dumping of pressure. Now press a stopper a palm, tighten to the left and get a stopper. Carefully wash out a stopper pure water, wipe a radiator mouth pure rags. Remove all traces of corrosion. Cooling liquid in a radiator should be transparent. If cooling liquid is painted in color of a rust, system it is necessary to wash out and replace liquid (see subsection 4.2). If level of cooling liquid is lower than edge of a jellied mouth, add a water and antifreeze mix (see subsection 2.5.1.2). |

4. Check a condition of the top and bottom hoses of a radiator and hoses of a heater which conduct from the engine to a wall of a motor compartment. Examine hoses on all length, at detection of swelling of hoses, cracks and the general deterioration of a condition a hose replace. Cracks are easily found if a hose to press. Irrespective of a condition of hoses it is recommended to change them each two years. |
|
5. Always check existence on hoses of traces of a podgoraniye or wear which can cause unforeseen refusal and expensive repair. Softness of a hose indicates destruction of its material, products of destruction can cause pollution of system of cooling and blocking of internal channels of a radiator. |
|
6. The hardened hose can burst at any time, the additional inhaling of a collar will not lead to improvement of consolidation and to the podtekaniye termination. |
|
7. Swelling of a hose or a propityvaniye of edges of a hose oil indicates possibility of destruction of a hose with dangerous consequences, check existence of cracks and gaps for what press a hose. |
| 8. Be convinced of durability of all connections. Leakage of cooling liquid can be found on a raid of white or brown color near a place of violation of tightness. If hoses are fixed by wire collars, it is necessary to replace the last with collars with screw fastening. |
| 9. With the compressed air or a brush remove from intercostal spaces of a radiator and the conditioner condenser the remains of insects, plants and extraneous subjects, thus do not injure a radiator or condenser edge. Be careful, as edges have sharp edges. |
| 10. At the subsequent check, or in case of abnormal work of system of cooling check a condition of a stopper of a radiator and pressure in system. In the absence of a manometer it is necessary to address in car-care center service where this service will render for the minimum payment. |
