Radiators play an important role in cooling the vehicle engine temperature in order to get the optimal working temperature. Because of its heavy work, the radiator needs maintenance and the water needs to be drained, and replaced.
In order to keep it clean and the channels are not clogged, periodic maintenance of 20,000 kilometers is required or at least replacing the radiator water if the water conditions are seen to be cloudy. The cloudy color can be seen through the top hole of the radiator, of course, after the cover is opened.
To simply replace the radiator water, you don't really need to come to the repair shop. You can do it yourself at home . Here are the steps.
1. Unscrew the top radiator hole. Then, also unscrew the exhaust bolt under the radiator. Then, wait until all the water in the radiator comes out.
Make sure the engine is still cold so you don't hurt your hands while doing the process. Try while in the process the condition of the engine is on. The goal, so that all the water in the engine cooling system out all.
2. After the water in the radiator runs out, close the bottom drain bolt again and open the exhaust bolt (if any). Next, fill the radiator water with radiator coolant or mineral water until the water comes out through the exhaust bolt.
3. Close the exhaust bolt and leave the top radiator hole cover open. Make sure the AC position is off (off) first then start the engine until the temperature is halfway and the radiator fan is spinning.
4. If the water volume is still insufficient, immediately add it to the maximum limit, then close the radiator hole again.
5. Do not forget to check the radiator reserve tank (reservoir tank). If dirty, immediately drain and refill with new radiator coolant to the maximum limit then close the lid tightly.
