According to the instructions going along with the car, the replacement of the antifreeze of Matiz should be carried out every 40,000 kilometers of the mileage or two years of operation. Never be late with replacement, but in our conditions it is desirable to spend it even earlier. The replacement process itself is quite simple and can even be a novice car enthusiast.

Coats for cars consists of several components:

• water;
• antifreeze;
• additives that are necessary to prevent rust in the cooling system and the motor, in addition, they prevent the destructive processes directly in the coolant.

We carry out a replacement with your own hands

All work on changing the coolant should be carried out only when the motor completely cools. Otherwise, you risk burning. Before starting work, the car needs to be put on a horizontal smooth surface.

What antifreeze to pour?

On specialized stations maintenance for cooling car engines Daewoo Matiz lithuania Liqui Moly. KFS 2000. It is a blue liquid created on the basis of ethylene glycol and a set of additives that successfully prevent the emergence of corrosion, foam and other negative processes. You can also use the product of domestic production, for example, from LUKOIL.

For cooling engine DEU. Matiz can only fill the coolant on the basis of ethylene glycol!

Instruments

• ten liters of distillate;
• a set of keys;
• screwdrivers;
• two liters of concentrated antifreeze.
• passatia;
• capacity of five liters;
• rag.

Instructions for replacement

1. First you need to remove air filter Together with the case. To do this, we unscrew the bolt, the tightening clamp on the nozzle, then unscrew the bolts that are fastening the housing, and remove the sensor connector.
2. With the help of pliers, squeeze the hamch of the lower pipe of the radiator and shifted it down. We put under the pipe in advance prepared container and remove the hose.
3. To depressurize the cooling system, you need to remove the neck plug from the expansion tank.
4. We unscrew the upper bolts fixing the radiator. Remove the nozzles located at the top of the radiator. We remove the radiator itself directly and rinsed with a distillate.
5. Pliers in turn cluster three clamps on the hoses that go to the tank. Disconnecting hoses and fastening, remove and rinse a distillate tank.
6. We return clean in place. Connect the hoses.
7. We set the radiator in your place and connect the nozzle to it. Then we put the air filter with the housing. Connect the sensor and air duct.
8. Pour distillates when we hold the canister with one hand, and the other so that air traffic jams are not formed, live the pipe.
9. We start the motor for fifteen minutes, meanwhile we dilute the concentrated antifreeze distillate in equal proportions and, twisting the plug, mix well.

Antifreeze is non-freezing technological fluid designed to cool the engine Daewoo Matiz At the outer temperature from + 40C to - 30..60c. The boiling point of the antifreeze is about + 110c. The function of antifreeze also includes lubrication of internal surfaces. daewoo systems Matiz, including water pump, preventing corrosion. The service life of the unit depends on the liquid state.

Tosol is a brand of domestic antifreeze, designed in 1971, which began to be produced in Tolyatti during the USSR. There existed only 2 types of domestic antifreeze: Tosol-40 ( blue colour) And Tosol-65 (red).

Antifreezes are distinguished by additives included in it:

• Traditional antifreeze;
• Hybrid antifreeze G-11 (Hybrid, "Hybrid Coolants", Hoat (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology));
• Carboxylate antifreeze G-12, G-12 + ("Carboxylate COOLANTS", OAT (Organic Acid Technology));
• Ledok antifreeze G-12 ++, G-13 ("Lobrid Coolants" or "Soat Coolnts").

If you want to add cooling fluid in the Matiz Daewoo, then safely mix antifreeze of only one type, and not colors. Color is just a dye. Water (even distilled) into the Daewoo Matiz radiator is forbidden, since in the heat at a temperature of 100 ° C boil, scale is formed. In the frost, water freezes, nozzles and radiator Daewo Matiz will simply break.

Replace the cooling fluid on Daewoo Matiz for several reasons:

• The term of antifreeze ends - the concentration of inhibitors in it decreases, the heat transfer decreases;
• Reduced the level of antifreeze from leaks - His level in the extension tank DEU should remain constant. In this case, it can flow through looseness in compounds, or cracks in the radiator, nozzles.
• The level of antifreeze has decreased due to engine overheating - Antifreeze begins to throw, in the plug of the expansion tank, the cooling system of the Daewoo Matiz opens safety valve, Resetting the antifreeze pairs into the atmosphere.
• Replacing the cooling parts dEU systems Matiz. or engine repair;

Frequently operating radiator electric fan in the heat - reason for checking the quality of antifreeze. If you do not make a timely replacement of antifreeze on Daewoo Matiz, then it will lose its properties. As a result, oxides are formed, a risk of engine overheating in hot weather and its defrosting at negative temperatures appears. The first replacement period for antifreeze G-12 + is 250 thousand km of run, or 5 years.

Signs for which the state of spent antifreeze in Daewoo Matiz is determined:

• Results test strips;
• Measurement of antifreeze in the Daewoo Matiz refractometer or the range;
• Changing the color shade: for example, there was green, rusty or yellow, as well as turbidity, fading;
• The presence of chips, chips, scale, foam.

Replacing antifreeze on Daewoo Matiz Procedure Not difficult:

Washing the Daewoo Matiz cooling system, before the fill of the new antifreeze, completely removes the protective layer and the remains of the old antifreeze, this is necessary when switching from one type to another. For flushing of the radiator, Daewoo Matiz should be used by special safety, which is often diluted with water in accordance with the instructions.

Finished washing poured into expansion tank Radiator Daewoo Matiz with a muffled engine. It is definitely necessary to warm up to the operating temperature, to operate the thermostat and antifreeze began to circulate big circle cooling systems.

Then the engine is rented, for 30 minutes they give to work on idling. Dry washing liquid. The operation is repeated depending on the composition of the flowing fluid. The washing mixture can be used only in the first approach, in the subsequent - distilled water. Antifreeze replacement time on Daewoo Matiz is from half an hour, with washing - up to 1.5 hours.

The cooling system is longly filled with a mixture of water and antifreeze with an anti-corrosion additive from the VW / SEAT concern. This mixture prevents the freezing and corrosion of the cooling system, salt deposition and, in addition, increases the boiling point of the coolant. In the circuit of circulation, as a result of the expansion of the fluid during heating, an increased pressure is created, which also helps to increase the boiling point of the coolant. The pressure is limited to the valve opened at a pressure of 1.4 - 1.6 bar located in the lid of the expansion tank. For impeccable operation of the engine cooling system required heat Boiling fluid boiling. With too low boiling point, steam plugs can form, which is why the engine cooling deteriorates. Therefore, the cooling system year must be filled with a mixture of water and antifreeze.

It is necessary to use antifreeze G12 Plus (purple, accurate designation G 012 A8F) or another concentrate with a mark "in accordance with VW / SEAT-TL-VW-774-F", for example, GlySantin-Alu-Protect-Premium / G30.

If the cooling system is filled with a mixture containing antifreeze G12 (red, exact designation G 012 A8D), then to replenish the level of the coolant, you can also use antifreeze G12 or another concentrate with a mark "in accordance with VW / AUDI-TL-VW- 774-D », for example, Glysantin-Alu-Protect / G30. Note: G12 of purple color can be mixed with G12 red.

ATTENTION: It is impossible to mix antifreeze G12 red and older antifreeze G11 green, since this can lead to very strong damage to the engine. Cooling fluid brown color (The result of mixing antifreeze G12 and G11] to replace immediately.

Note: If the cooling system accidentally turned out to be liquid with the addition of antifreeze of the incorrect specification, the system must be rinsed. To do this, the whole liquid from the cooling system should be completely drained and fill the system with clean water. Leave the engine to work for two minutes at idle. Water to drain again and blow the system from the side of the expansion tank with compressed air to fully release it. Wrap the plug hole and fill the cooling system with a mixture of water and antifreeze G12-PLUS.

ATTENTION: To replenish the cooling system (also in the warm season], it is necessary to use only a mixture of the G12-Plus tool (purple) with soft water. The proportion of antifreeze is also in the summer period should not be below 40%. Therefore, when replenishing the cooling system Water should always add antifreeze.

In our latitudes, the coolant should provide protection against freezing to -25 ° C, and even better - to -35 ° C. The proportion of antifreeze should not exceed 60% (protection against freezing the coolant to -40 ° C), otherwise the protection against freezing and the cooling effect of the liquid is reduced. Note:depending on the equipment of the car, the amount of filling coolant can be somewhat different from the values \u200b\u200bindicated in the table

The ratio of coolant components in liters

The replacement of antifreeze on Daewoo Matiz is not difficult, however, taking into account the specifics of the assembly has certain differences from the total procedure. The entire procedure of the car owner can produce independently in the presence of technical skills and knowledge.

Antifreeze replacement interval

Replacing antifreeze in Daewoo Matiz produced every 4 years or after a run of 80 thousand km. The basic values \u200b\u200band imply the absence of other factors affecting the efficiency of the coolant.

If antifreeze discolored or acquired a brown, reddish or black shade, it should be replaced as quickly as possible. Color change speaks of low product quality, lack of necessary additives and negative effects of coolant on the entire system.

In order to avoid failure of more expensive nodes, the antifreeze should be purchased from proven official dealers. Specialists pay attention to the following brands suitable for Daewoo Matiz:

• 1998-2002 Year of release - Antifreeze category G12, Motul Ultra, Castrol LF, Glaaself, AWM, Lukoil Ultra are suitable;
• 2003-09 - G12 +, Lukoil Ultra, G-Energy, Havoline, AWM, Freecor will be suitable;
• machines Daewoo Matiz C 2010 require a category G12 ++, the antifreeze of Glysantin G 40, Freecor DSC, VAG, Frostschutzmittel A. is suitable.

The amount of coolant depends on the volume of the engine: 0.8 liters will require 3.8 liters of antifreeze, 4.2 liters on a single-liter motor. If concentrate is purchased, then the volume is calculated taking into account the addition of distilled water.

How to check the level in Daewoo Matiz?

The cooling fluid level is checked along the expansion tank under the hood of the car. Max tag was tinted in black, the MIN label serves the weld of the expansion tank itself.

To check the level of antifreeze, no additional manipulations are required, the translucent body allows you to evaluate the volume and without unscrewing the lid. However, in addition to the amount of coolant, its color is also monitored, as well as the presence of precipitate, foam, contaminants and other factors indicating the need to replace antifreeze on DEU Matiz.

To correctly check the level and condition of antifreeze, the engine of the machine is devastating and give it to cool. Experts pay attention to the fact that the coolant, especially with the newly operated engine, is under pressure. A sharp opening of the lid can cause splashes and to enter the toxic fluid on hand and face.

Opening the lid should be carefully, only when the motor has cooled and, if possible in gloves. Some experts also recommend to shoot minus from the battery as an additional precautionary measure.

How to replace?

The replacement of antifreeze in Daewoo Matiz is made taking into account the three main stages of the process - draining the old coolant, flushing the system and the fill of the new solution.

Separately pay attention to the need for washing. After draining in the system, a certain number of old coolant remains. If it turned out to be a poor-quality or car owner acquired another brand of antifreeze - it should be thoroughly rinsed remnants.

When washing the cooling system, Daewoo Matiz is not recommended to use special wash liquids. In the absence of drain cranes, such mixtures will also be asced in the system, which will require additional procedures for cleaning. Taking into account this factor, the old antifreeze is washed with distilled water.

Preparation

To replace antifreeze in Daewoo Matiz, the following will be required equipment:

• pliers, keys and screwdrivers for removing fixtures, passatia;
• gloves, clean rag, funnel for fill;
• capacity for draining waste liquid and washing water, usually use a pelvis and an additional container with a volume of 5 liters;
• consumables - new antifreeze, distilled water from 10 liters for mixing with a concentrate and washing system.

The car pargets in the same place. The presence of the pit is not necessarily, especially if it is supposed to use a pelvis. In preparation, antifreeze toxicity is taken into account and measures are used so that there are no animals and children nearby, and so that the liquid does not get into the soil.

The question of how to merge antifreeze with Daewoo Matiz is solved by a general action procedure. However, the specifics of the assembly of this model requires additional operations.

Step-by-step instruction

The phased process of replacing antifreeze on Daewoo Matiz implies the following procedure:

• the engine is allowed to cool, as an additional precautions from the battery, minus is removed, in the future it is returned when warming up and shutdown;
• removing the air filter and the case - for this weaken the clamp on the nozzle and unscrew the holder bolts, also remove the connector from the sensor;
• on the nozzle at the bottom of the radiator, the mustache clamps are compressed, substitute the container to drain and remove the hose;
• at the exit of the expansion tank, the cap is unscrewed, which ensures depressurization and faster drain;
• remove the radiator - for this, we unscrew the hold on its attachments and remove the nozzle from the top;
• replacing antifreeze on DEU Matiz without removing the radiator is allowed, however, taking into account the absence of drain cranes requires additional procedures for flushing and does not guarantee the full release of the system from the waste coolant;
• the radiator removed was washed with distilled water;
• remove the expansion tank, which is also washed in a separate order;
• the expansion tank and the radiator return to the place, connecting and tightly fed all the available connections;
• the air filter is returned to the place, the system is brought into the source view, after which distilled water is poured into the bulk neck;
• the engine is raised and allowed to work 15-20 minutes, after which it is devoured and allowed to cool;
• the air filter is rented again, distilled water drained from the system, after washing the radiator and the expansion tank, it must be relatively clean;
• restoring the system again, a new antifreeze is poured into the expansion tank, periodically living lower radiator hose to avoid the formation of air traffic jams;
• the coolant is poured to the MAX level, the plug is spinning, the engine warms for 15 minutes.

If after the motor operation, the level of antifreeze fell - it is aging up to the upper limit. A few days after the replacement, the level and color of the fluid is checked, if necessary, it is fused or change to a new one. The constant drop in the coolant level indicates a leakage - connections are spinning loosely or there are nodes requiring replacement.
