Here we share some experience tips one of them about how to fill radiator water properly.

In filling the radiator water in your vehicle, there are several steps that must be considered, namely:


  1. Make sure your car's engine is cool. Because when the engine is still hot resulted in radiator water charging process, especially the direct charging of the water hole radiator, will be dangerous. How come ? because the temperature inside the radiator is still hot and the hot steam inside is still in high pressure. Which result when opened by force will issue a burst of hot water that will override you. It is therefore required not to open the radiator cap while the machine is still hot. Wait until the machine is not warmed
  2. How to open the radiator cap, first make sure the engine temperature is not hot that is when our hands hold the radiator cap is not feeling the heat just felt warm or even feel comfortable not feel the heat. Well it means the radiator cap is ready to open.
  3. The process of opening the radiator cap is to find a cloth to cover the radiator cap. In order to avoid the process of opening the radiator cap, the water inside the radiator still has water vapor pressure or avoiding the radiator cap jump about you. This can be dangerous for you. Open slowly step by step on your radiator cap using a cloth. If there is water vapor out stop first instead, wait until the water vapor does not come out again, then open slowly - the ground again when there is water vapor out stop first wait until the water vapor does not come out. Perform the process until you close the radiator until it can be opened in total.
  4. To check if the water vapor is still out of the radiator cap that is by looking at it, do not perpendicularly aligned with the hole of the radiator, do not directly hold or insert your finger into the radiator hole because it will harm you. Just look at enough distance and head in diagonal position.
  5. After successfully opened the radiator cap completely, then the next step to see whether the radiator water is still full parallel to the hole close the raditor or far below it? If less, in an emergency condition fill with mineral bottled water or if there is no bottled mineral water then it can be replaced with ordinary water which is ensured clear no clear dregs or no visible there are dirty particles in the water. But if the fluid content in the radiator decreases a lot, then make sure the radiator is cool, when forced to enter the water in the radiator heat will cause the radiator to be badly damaged leak alias. Later when it is cold then the next step radiator water fill slowly to full. Recommended water refill for the radiator is a special water radiator green or red that reads heat resistant temperature. But if away from the workshop and emergency, can use clear mineral water.
  6. After full charging water in the radiator. then the next step check in the reservoir water reservoir water reservoir of plastic transparent tank made of transparent white. Visible when checked from the side of the tank there is a minimum and maximum water dose. if less than the maximum limit then fill the spare water radiator to the upper line of the tank.
  7. When it is then check again whether all procedures have been done correctly and thoroughly? when it is then the car engine ready to be restarted.
