disassembly with cooling or getting ready for winter — logbook Toyota Vista 1998
While it was hot, it was somehow not noticed that something was wrong - the car warmed up, did not boil ... But the cold came and then it came to an understanding that the actual temperature of the motor when driving was not more than 60 degrees, Scratching my head, I realized that the thermostat was to blame
, went to existential and gave them 273 p. began to wait. 2 days later I became the owner of a box with the desired part. And this morning I moved into the garage, anticipating sex with the car ...
Everything unscrewed well, the thermostat changed quickly, but what leaked out and the radiator shocked me! Brown slurry, also with some kind of flakes (!)
, which hasn’t changed since the day the car was born, but they say LONGLIFE is flooded there ... And what was the cost of an hourly (!) Cleaning of the expansion tank, and water, and a washer, a chlorine-containing cleaning agent, and this epic ended with gasoline, a toothbrush, a brush made of tweezers and washcloths…
Imagining what was going on in the engine, I just filled it with some water. And then, winding up money, to the store. Having parted with 890 rubles, I carried into the trunk 2 * 1.5 liters of concentrated red antifreeze, 10 liters of distilled water and a jar of flushing the cooling system from Liqui moly.
Tomorrow I'm going to flush and refill.
PS: The car now warms up in about ten minutes and the hellish stove heats up, like any normal TOYOTe!
Continuation. Here comes tomorrow. Came to the garage, poured flushes into the radiator
, went for a walk for 30 minutes, then drained everything, the water flowed with a pinkish tint. Then we poured clean water, opened the drain tap, the machine was running, water was pouring from the radiator and at the same time I was pouring clean water, so I drove 12 liters until the water became clean.
Again, I drained everything, loosened the antifreeze of the G12 + brand, 1 to 1 with water, filled it in, started everything seems to be OK, and climbed to screw the protection
Plus, I did a little tuning, changed the tube to the expansion tank to a transparent one ...
Tired and happy, I went home...
oh shit, sore subject. You also need to change the fluid for a good one. First I'll try to merge a little and see what color it is. If everything is bad then washing with running water and then chemistry. Fortunately, there is a warm garage with a drain on the floor.
