Replacing antifreeze on Niva 21214

Replacing antifreeze on Niva 21214 machines, according to the manufacturer's recommendation, should be carried out at a periodicity of every 3 years, or after 60,000 mileage. When operating in difficult conditions, it is advisable to work more often - after 30-40 thousand kilometers.

What antifreeze and how much to fill in Niva-21214?

When choosing a coolant for Niva 21214, it is worth navigating on the manufacturer's recommendation. If you proceed from the practice of use, the following types of antifreezes can be used:

• For machines that were released in 2009, the Red Round G12 + will suit. Optimal options for Zerex G, Vag, Frostschutzmittel A, as well as FEBI.
• For auto Niva 21214, produced after 2010, it is worth using antifreeze class G12 ++ red. Here are the most popular manufacturers - Castrol Radicool Si, Motul, Freecor QR, Freecor QR, FEBI and others.

Other cooling fluids - synthek, Cool Stream (Premium and Standard), as well as TC Felix, also showed well.

The replacement of antifreeze should be made not only in the above periods, but in the case of the appearance of a reddish shade. This indicates a deterioration in the composition of the coolant or presence, in the cooling system, fake.

The optimal antifreeze volume required to refill the system is 10.7 liters.

Replacement process

Work is made only on the cooled engine and on a flat area (pit, overpass). If the horizontal portion failed to find, a slight lift of the car front is allowed.

Before merge the antifreeze, discard the "minus" terminal with the battery, and also remove the protection from the motor (if installed). After, prepare the necessary tool. To replace antifreeze on the Niva 21214 car, the keys to the "fifteen", the head on the "thirteen" with the gate and the extension, as well as the ratchet handle (it will be more convenient to it). Also buy a new antifreeze, to fill the system, find the capacity more than 11 liters, as well as dry rags.

1. Go to the Salon and open the heater's crater.
2. In the open space, find the expansion tank and twist the cork from it.
3. Remove the radiator lid. At the initial stage, this can not be done. If you leave the lid on the spot, the coolant will exit with less activity, which eliminates its splashing.
4. Substitute, under an indicative place for plum, the capacity of 11 liters and more. At the same stage, prepare a tube having an internal diameter of 1.6 cm in size.

Drain of antifreeze

Consider how to merge antifreeze from the radiator. To do this, remove the lid that is on the left, at the bottom of the device, connect the prepared tube to it and wait for the exit of the coolant from the system. The presence of the tube is necessary to avoid splashing the hazardous liquid.

Go to the next step - to drain the old antifreeze from the cylinder block (hereinafter - the BC) of the Niva-21214 engine. To do this, do the following:

• take the key to "thirteen" (preferably with the head and extension), then unscrew the plug set from the bottom left side of the Motor BC;
• drain the coolant from the system using the same hose as for the cooling radiator.

Drain antifreeze from the expansion tank. For this:

• remove its mount, open the cork and lift the tank above the level of the radiator's fuel output; these actions are enough for the remaining antifreeze to come out of the tank;
• now tighten the drain plugs, put and secure the expansion tank to the previous place.

When replacing antifreeze, keep in mind that a conical thread is used in connecting cork for BC. Its feature is in the absence of a seal. The cork broach on the Cylinder-21214 cylinder block is made with an effort of 25-30 N * m, using a dynamometric key.

Fill new antifreeze

Complete the final antifreeze replacement step - pour the prepared coolant liquid. For this:

1. Pour antifreeze into the radiator hole. Make sure that the upper level of the coolant reaches the top edge of the fuse.
2. Fill the coolant into the expansion tank. The level should be 30 mm higher than MIN letter.
3. Get the engine and let him warm up. The tube on the radiator should be closed. Pay attention to the entry, to the radiator from the engine, hose. For some time it will be cold, but, in a few minutes, it will warm up. This confirms the fact that the fluid went to a large circle.
4. Look, while the fan starts, and muffle the motor.

Wait for cooled of cools, check again and perform a plot (if required). On this, the replacement of antifreeze is completed. If necessary, jump out air traffic jams from the system, for what, let's work the engine, with a radiator lid (the front of the car should be above the rear).

Now you know how to drain antifreeze in the Niva 21214 car, and after, fill the system with a new coolant system. This information is enough to make all the work itself and not contact the specialists.
