How many liters of antifreeze does a VAZ 2109 need?

How much antifreeze is in the VAZ 2109 cooling system

The cooling system is designed to ensure stable operation of the motor, which produces a lot of energy and constantly increases the temperature.
Coolant is a specific alcohol-based composition with additives that acts as a coolant.

Filling with coolant

What to choose?

Today, when replacing coolant on domestically produced cars, people most often talk about antifreeze. But in addition to antifreeze, antifreeze is actively used for more modern cars.

For the VAZ 2109 cooling system, it is quite possible to use antifreeze rather than antifreeze.

Coolant type

Peculiarities

All cooling fluids are antifreeze, and antifreeze is a type of it, developed back in Soviet times as an alternative to foreign antifreeze;
Antifreeze is simply the name of a type of antifreeze, more adapted to the characteristics of car operation in the conditions of our country (then the USSR);
The price is more affordable when compared with other coolants;
More widely used among domestic car owners

There are a huge number of types of antifreeze in the world;
The difference between them lies in the base, color, composition and other parameters;
Antifreezes use special additives in their composition that ensure efficient operation of the cooling system and extend the service life of the coolant itself;
Antifreeze is more expensive, which is the most common reason for choosing antifreeze

Variety of assortment
Taking into account the characteristics of each of the presented types of coolant, certain conclusions can be drawn:

If we take into account the quality characteristics, antifreeze is significantly superior to antifreeze.
Antifreeze is more practical, given its adaptability to our cars. Its composition is developed with an eye to the local climate, car quality and road conditions.
You can ask for antifreeze from any oncoming driver passing by if your VAZ 2109 breaks down.
The characteristics of antifreeze are quite sufficient to ensure the normal functionality of the CO.

Practice shows that it makes no sense to overpay for antifreeze to fill the cooling system of a VAZ 2109.

Device

Replacement

The procedure for replacing antifreeze can be divided into four main stages:

Draining the old coolant;
Flushing the system;
Filling with new antifreeze;
Checking the functionality of the system.

Now we will go through each stage separately.

Expansion tank

Draining old coolant

To work you will need a pit or overpass. In garage conditions this is not a problem.
The procedure should only be started with a cold engine. Do not add new coolant if you just turned off the engine a couple of minutes ago. Otherwise, there is a risk of cracks in the cylinder block.
Remove the negative terminal from the battery.
Place a prepared container with a volume of about 10 liters under the car.
Remove the cap from the CO expansion tank.
Using a socket or a 13mm wrench, unscrew the drain plug from the cylinder block.
Hold the plug so that the coolant pressure does not blow it away. There is no point in losing such an element.
When all the liquid has come out, screw the lid on.
Drain the coolant now from the radiator by unscrewing the plastic plug. The liquid will flow into the prepared container.
Screw the drain cap on by hand. No tool required here.

After draining the coolant, do not rush to immediately fill in new antifreeze. It is recommended to flush the systems first to ensure more efficient operation of the CO.

Drain procedure

Flushing

If you find traces of contamination in the drained antifreeze, the liquid has acquired a rusty tint, it is better to rinse the system thoroughly. If you ignore this recommendation, the new antifreeze will not last long, so you will soon have to change it again.

For washing, use special compounds or ordinary water. It is better to use distilled water, but if you really want to save money, take tap water;
Pour CO flushing liquid into the system through the neck of the expansion tank;
Start the engine, raise the speed a little and let the engine run for about 10 minutes;
Turn off the engine and repeat the draining procedure according to the instructions that you read above. Only now the system will not contain antifreeze, but a flushing composition;
Repeat flushing as necessary until the water coming out of the drain holes is clear.

Flushing the system
Flushing is just a recommendation, not a mandatory procedure. But those who regularly flush the system claim that it works more reliably and longer this way. So decide for yourself what to do.

Fill

To fill in new antifreeze, you don’t have to do anything complicated. You just need a special watering can. Many containers in which antifreeze is sold are not particularly convenient for pouring directly from them. Use a funnel to avoid spilling coolant.

It is extremely important to know exactly how much antifreeze is in the cooling system. The coolant for the VAZ 2109 requires 7.8 liters. Therefore, antifreeze should be purchased in 8-liter containers.

Take a watering can and insert it into the neck of the expansion tank. This way you won’t spill precious grams of antifreeze.
Check that all drain plugs are securely tightened. Otherwise, the coolant will simply spill out onto the floor and you will have to buy new coolant.
Start gradually pouring in new antifreeze.
Stop periodically for 1-2 minutes so that the liquid has time to distribute throughout the system.
After filling the system, add coolant to the middle of the expansion tank level.
Next, the most important thing is to get rid of the air that has entered the cooling system.
Air accumulates in the upper pipe. To remove it, you just need to squeeze the upper pipe several times. Squeeze until you feel liquid appear inside.
Bleed the cooling system. To do this, use a screwdriver or a size 8 wrench to unscrew the clamp that holds the return hose to the CO expansion tank (return).
Now close the fitting with your finger, onto which the return line is put, so that air cannot escape from there.
Next you need to blow into the expansion tank. Just imagine that you are trying to inflate the tank like a balloon.
This will create pressure and coolant will begin to flow from the expansion tank into the CO, and excess air will escape through the return.
As soon as antifreeze begins to flow out of the return line, the procedure can be stopped.
Replace the return line and tighten the clamp.
Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery, close the cap of the expansion tank and check the quality of the work done.

It is not recommended to begin active operation of the vehicle without checking.

Examination

Checking for coolant replacement is easy, but this does not make the importance of this procedure underestimated.

Start the engine, let it run for a few minutes at medium speed;
As the new coolant heats up, coolant will begin to flow from the return into the expansion tank;
If the liquid spills out, you did everything right;
Make sure the thermostat, temperature sensors, and cooling fan are working;
When the engine temperature rises, the thermostat opens if it is working properly. Feel the bottom of the thermostat. If it is warm, everything functions perfectly;
Wait for the fan to automatically turn on, cool the system, and shut down. Again, this behavior indicates the performance of the sensor and fan.

We change antifreeze ourselves

How to replace antifreeze on a VAZ 2109 yourself? The answer to this question is discussed below and until the end of the article. Be careful.

Important! Before replacing antifreeze, make sure that all parts of your car's cooling system are in working order and do not require repair. If this is not the case, then you should first repair the damaged parts or replace them, and then (or simultaneously) change the coolant.

Tools and accessories

What will be needed to ensure that the replacement of antifreeze on a VAZ 2109 occurs without wasting extra time and effort? Prepare the following in advance:

Antifreeze or antifreeze - 8 liters
Container for drainage (to fit under the car)
13mm socket, extension and ratchet
Or a 13mm wrench (open-end or socket)
Key for 8
Key for 10
Screwdriver
Watering can

Have you prepared? You can start working.

Draining antifreeze

Now we begin to drain the antifreeze. Remember, car repairs are best done in an inspection pit or overpass. It’s still good on a lift, but this phenomenon is rarely seen in a garage:

Advice! Do not forget - you should replace the antifreeze on a cold engine. Under no circumstances should you fill in cold new antifreeze if you have just driven the car into the garage and it has not yet cooled down sufficiently. This threatens a crack in the cylinder block.

So, our VAZ 2109 is in the pit and ready to drain the antifreeze.
Before you start draining it, take a 10mm key and be sure to unscrew the negative terminal of the battery so that when you drain the antifreeze, a short circuit does not occur, and you don’t have to repair it later with an electrician.
Place a previously prepared antifreeze container under the car, which should be about 10 liters in volume.
Remove the cap on the expansion tank of the cooling system.
Take a 13mm socket with the rest of the accessories or a 13mm wrench and unscrew the drain plug from the cylinder block.

VAZ 2109 antifreeze replacement

Attention! Hold the plug so that the pressure of the coolant does not blow it away and you do not lose it.

After all the antifreeze has drained from there, you can screw the plug back on.
Next, you need to drain the antifreeze from the radiator of the cooling system.
To do this, unscrew the plastic plug, and the liquid also flows into the antifreeze container located under the car.
Screw the plug back - it can be screwed in and out simply with your own hands (no tools required).

The first stage of replacing the antifreeze in the VAZ 2109 has been completed - we have drained the antifreeze. Go ahead!

Flushing the cooling system

Washing is done in some cases. One of them is rusty drained antifreeze. This means that the system is contaminated, and clean new antifreeze will not remain so for long - it will quickly become unusable. So:

Flushing is done using two means: a special flush for the cooling system or ordinary water (preferably distilled, but, in extreme cases, regular running water can also be used).
The flushing fluid is poured into the cooling system through the neck of the vehicle's cooling system expansion tank.
Then the engine starts and the car runs at low speeds for ten minutes.
Next, you should turn off the engine and repeat the process of draining the coolant, which has already been described above.
The system flushing procedure is repeated until the drained water is more or less clear in color or according to the instructions for special flushing of the cooling system.

After the system has been flushed, you can begin to fill in new antifreeze. By the way, flushing is not a necessary step in replacing antifreeze on a VAZ 2109 and other cars.

Pouring antifreeze

Replacing antifreeze in a VAZ 2109 yourself

We take a watering can and insert it into the neck of the expansion tank for convenience.
We check that all plugs are tightened.
Remember - it is important that the cooling system is intact and efficient.
Gradually add antifreeze.
After the entire system is filled, fill the expansion tank halfway with antifreeze.

Now comes the most important moment of all the work. It is necessary to remove air from the cooling system.

The first is the upper cooling pipe. Air in a liquid is known to rise. Therefore, it accumulates in the upper pipe. To remove it from there, you need to squeeze the pipe with your hand several times until you feel that there is liquid there.
The second is bleeding the cooling system. This is done as follows.
Using a screwdriver or a size 8 wrench, unscrew the clamp securing the return flow hose to the expansion tank of the cooling system (hereinafter referred to as return).
After that, you should close the fitting on which the return line is put on with your finger so that no air escapes from there.
Next comes the most interesting part - you need to blow into the expansion tank. Press the area of your face around your mouth into the filler neck and blow air.
This creates pressure - coolant from the expansion tank enters the cooling system, and air comes out of the return.
This procedure should be stopped when coolant flows out of the return line.
Don't forget to put on and secure the return pipe to the expansion tank with a clamp.
You should also reconnect the battery terminal and tighten the expansion tank cap.

Ending the process

And the last thing is to check the functionality of the cooling system in action:

Start the engine and let it run for a while at medium speed.
As the coolant in the system heats up (which you can see on the dashboard), coolant will flow from the return into the expansion tank.
The liquid pouring out is a sign of good operation and successful replacement of antifreeze in the VAZ 2109.
Also, do not forget to check the functionality of the thermostat, temperature sensor and cooling fan.
When the temperature rises, the thermostat should open. This can be determined by the warm bottom of the thermostat.
Wait until the cooling fan turns on and off - this means that the sensor and the fan itself are working well.

REPLACING ANTISEASE IN A VAZ 2109 - HOW TO CORRECTLY

The car engine runs, constantly producing a lot of energy and increasing the temperature. To make it work stably, smart people came up with a liquid cooling system.

The coolant in this system needs to be changed periodically. This is what we will do now.

These instructions for replacing antifreeze on a VAZ 2109 car will help you change the antifreeze right in your garage with your own hands and without going to a service station or paying for repairs. Photos and videos will tell you how to do it right.

DIY technology for replacing antifreeze on injection VAZ 2109

The replacement concept involves draining the used compound through special holes and filling the system with new antifreeze. The designers provide two drain holes in the cooling system of VAZ engines:

on the left side of the main radiator;
on the front wall of the cylinder block.

Replacing antifreeze on VAZ 2109 engines is not possible without first dismantling the ignition module located on the front surface of the cylinder block:

remove the negative terminal from the battery;
disconnect the wires from the spark plugs;
remove the ignition module power supply block;
unscrew the bolts securing the module relative to the cylinder block and clutch housing;
loosen the upper left bolt of the front engine mount;
remove the module bracket from under the bolt;
remove the module with wires from the engine compartment.

Draining of used antifreeze is carried out according to the following method:

open the heater tap;
connect the expansion tank to the atmosphere by unscrewing the cap (under such conditions, rapid flow of liquid from the system is ensured);
place the container and unscrew the cap in the lower left corner of the engine radiator, wait for the liquid to drain;
Unscrew the drain nut on the cylinder block and drain the coolant from the “jacket”.

For your information. If the drained liquid is dirty and rich in various inclusions, the system should be flushed with plain water:

clog the drain holes;
pour water through the expansion tank and close it;
start the engine for 3-4 minutes;
shut down and drain.

The operation is repeated until the waste water is clean.

WHEN IS IT NECESSARY TO REPLACE ANTISELF?

This issue should not be overlooked in any case. Because if the antifreeze is unsuitable, the engine will not cool properly.
If the engine does not cool to the required degree, then there may be problems with the cooling system (partial failure) and spare parts will have to be replaced.
In the worst case, the engine may boil - this does not bode well for you and your car.
Thus, the engine must be well cooled, especially in winter. In winter, problems most often arise with the cooling system.
In view of this fact, it is better to prepare in advance. That is, in the fall it is necessary to change the antifreeze.
It is advisable to change antifreeze every autumn closer to winter. You should also replace parts of your car's engine cooling system that are damaged or close to failure.

Note! It is especially recommended to change antifreeze every year on older cars, since there is a greater likelihood of rust contaminating the radiator and other parts of the cooling system.

Also, if rusty antifreeze is detected in the car’s cooling system, it is extremely necessary to flush the system. This will be mentioned below.

WHAT TO CHOOSE?

Many car owners often wonder about the choice of coolant - antifreeze or antifreeze: which is better? Let's try to figure out what's what without going into deep truths.

In fact, all coolants are and are called antifreeze. And antifreeze is no exception to the rule.
In fact, antifreeze is just the name of one of the types of antifreeze developed in our area, for our area and for our cars.
In terms of its performance and characteristics, antifreeze is in many ways inferior to other antifreezes.
The price of antifreeze is much lower than other coolants.
Antifreeze is more common among domestically produced cars.

There are very, very many antifreezes in the world. They differ in composition, base, color, and so on.
Various antifreezes include various special additives that help better maintain the car's cooling system and at the same time increase the service life of the antifreeze itself.
The cost of antifreeze is higher than antifreeze, and it is quite widespread.

Summarize. Antifreeze or other antifreeze?

Antifreeze is undoubtedly better in quality.
BUT antifreeze is much more practical for several reasons.
Antifreeze was SPECIALLY designed for our climate and our cars.
Antifreeze is available in almost every domestic car that passes you.
And this can sometimes save (in case of a breakdown on the road).
There is enough antifreeze for the car to function normally and the cooling system to work as expected.

It is more practical and cheaper (which is very important) to use antifreeze.

Cooling system features

The car engine cooling system is designed by designers to perform several vital functions. But, in some cases, especially on high-mileage vehicles, this system is a weak point.

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

There are three main types of cooler:

The first is practically no longer used, as it boils away quickly, causes damage to metal parts of the engine and is dangerous when used in the cold season. The second is the most common and inexpensive. It is produced from inorganic compounds, which creates an oil film on the engine walls, which significantly reduces thermal conductivity.

The third type of cooler, although much more expensive, is more effective, since it is based on organic compounds and has a smaller lubricating layer, which improves heat transfer performance.

If problems constantly arise in the cooling system, it is most practical to use antifreeze, since it is more financially profitable. Owners of VAZ 2109, 2108 and VAZ 21099 cars, no matter whether carburetor or injection, are more likely than others to encounter this problem. The most common breakdowns are:

Radiator leak.
Cooler tank failure.
Pump malfunction.
Damage to the interior heater radiator.
Coolant slagging.

In almost all these cases, you will have to drain the antifreeze from the radiator or the engine as a whole.

How many liters of antifreeze or antifreeze are poured into the cooling system in a VAZ 2110

There are many components, mechanisms and systems in a car. And in the article it is worth considering the car’s cooling system. Since the engine generates heat during operation, without a cooling system it will overheat very quickly. That is why this system was invented to balance the car between heat and cooling. Of course, like all other elements of the machine, the cooling needs to be serviced periodically. This includes replacing the coolant.

Antifreeze or antifreeze?

All generations of the domestic automobile industry need to be filled with only domestic antifreeze, and manufacturers fill it in at the factory. Antifreeze is an analogue of foreign antifreeze, but its cost differs significantly. Antifreeze also contains special additives that will protect against corrosion and foam formation.

Antifreeze contains ethylene glycol, which is diluted with distilled water, mixing 50:50. But each driver must dilute the antifreeze himself, but you can also fill in this composition. After all, water tends to freeze in the cold, and the less it is in the composition, the less the risk that antifreeze may freeze.

How to add fluid to the system

The procedure for replacing antifreeze on a VAZ-2109 is simple; all you need to do is follow all the requirements. When pouring fluid into the system, you will need to park the car so that the front is higher than the rear. In this case, the liquid will flow to the lowest point, which will be the heater radiator. In this simple way you will be able to get rid of air jams in the system as much as possible. Filling with liquid is done only after thorough rinsing: to do this, fill and drain distilled water several times.

Next, after closing all the drain holes and making sure that there are no leaks, you can fill in clean antifreeze. But keep in mind that when driving in the warm season, it is allowed to dilute it with distilled water in a 50/50 ratio. In this case, the liquid will not freeze at temperatures down to -20 °C. After refueling the system, you need to start the engine and let it warm up to operating temperature. The plugs should go away on their own, but to speed up the process of getting rid of them, you can put on gloves and squeeze out all the thick pipes.

How many liters of antifreeze should I pour into a VAZ 2110?

Now it’s worth figuring out how many liters of antifreeze you need to fill in the VAZ 2110. And here the cooling system comes in second place after the fuel tank, while the manufacturer’s recommended number of liters is 7.8. The very first cars of this generation had several types of engines, and the first one had 8 valves and was equipped with a timing belt. A little later, manufacturers released a new unit with 16 valves, but still in both cases the figure for pouring antifreeze does not change. And therefore, 7.8 liters must be poured into these two types. This is all due to the fact that the block of these engines is the same, and the quantity can easily cool both the block and the engine itself.

7.8 liters

What if you don’t add antifreeze/antifreeze?

Most often, antifreeze is presented in stores with a volume of 5 liters, and to replace it you will need two such canisters. After draining the used liquid, only 5 liters can enter the tank, and this is, in principle, normal; the rest can be added when the antifreeze passes through the entire cooling system. When the fluid has been replaced, you need to start the car and warm it up to a certain temperature, then turn it off and look at the expansion tank, all the fluid should go there. And if this happens, then you can add the remaining liquid.

Air lock and methods of dealing with it

Now we’ve figured out how much antifreeze to pour into the VAZ 2110, now it’s worth talking about the air in the cooling system. It can only get there when new liquid is poured, and here you do not need to pour the entire canister at once, gradually at certain intervals.

Where to press to remove the traffic jam

How much to pour into the VAZ 2110, it was said 7.8 liters . There are situations when air does not leave the system, so you should put the car on a hill and unscrew the tank cap a little, then start the car and warm it up. After wearing gloves, since the system has heated up, you need to press slightly on the pipes to release all the air. And after that, you can add antifreeze again, to a certain level.

Replacing coolant on a VAZ 2109

Replacing the coolant is necessary either when the fluid expires, or if you purchased the car second-hand and are not sure about the fluid that the previous owner filled in.
It may also be necessary to replace the fluid in connection with any repairs to the vehicle’s cooling system. Replacement periods depend on the type of fluid and the recommendations of the specific manufacturer and can reach 5 years. The average shelf life is 3 years. Replacing coolant on a VAZ 2109 is a very simple process, which, if you have the necessary tools and the coolant itself, will take no more than half an hour. Antifreeze or antifreeze must be drained on a cold engine. Let's consider the process of replacing the coolant.

First of all, we will prepare 8 liters of coolant, since the volume of the VAZ 2109 cooling system is approximately 7.8 liters. You will also need a cloth (for your hands or to wipe off spilled liquid), a 13-size wrench, a container for draining (preferably 10 liters), a funnel and a hose. It is better to take a funnel like the one in the picture below.

I'll explain why we need it. Usually, to drain the coolant on a VAZ 2109, it is recommended to remove the crankcase protection and mudguards; to be honest, these actions are absolutely unnecessary. To avoid this, we need a funnel with a hose (can be made from any hose and bottle, cutting it to fit). We place the funnel in the engine compartment, and lead the hose down through any accessible hole. As a result, there is no need to remove the protection and mudguards.

You need to drain the coolant on the nine in two places - from the radiator and from the cylinder block.

We open the radiator valve completely; to do this, on the heater control console we move the control lever for the main damper and valves to the extreme right position.

Unscrew the radiator drain plug. Do not forget to place a funnel under the radiator cap; the funnel hose must be in the container for draining the coolant.

We unscrew the cap of the expansion tank - the liquid will drain faster.

We wait until the liquid drains. Next, tighten the expansion tank cap, the radiator drain plug and unscrew the plug on the cylinder block. Don’t forget to place a funnel under the hole for draining the coolant on the VAZ 2109 block. Using the expansion tank plug, we adjust the drain rate.

We wait until the liquid is completely drained and tighten the plug. We check the plug and plug on the radiator and only after that fill in new coolant to the middle between the MIN and MAX marks on the expansion tank. Let the engine run and add fluid to the required level if necessary. In the process of replacing coolant on a VAZ 2109 and not only, there is a possibility of creating an air lock. You can drive it out by driving up a 30-degree hill so that the hood is higher than the rear of the car, open the expansion tank cap and apply the gas. You can also unscrew the carburetor or throttle heating hose when replacing the coolant and when antifreeze comes out of it (when pouring new fluid), put it in place. But I prefer to go up the hill.

To facilitate subsequent draining of the coolant, I recommend installing drain taps instead of the plug on the cylinder block and the radiator plug. They look approximately like in the picture.

OK it's all over Now. Replacing the VAZ 2109 coolant can be considered complete.

How much antifreeze is in the VAZ 2114 8 valve cooling system?

What happens if the antifreeze level in the expansion tank is maximum VAZ 2114?

This is very good!) After replacing the engine cooling components and parts and then adding antifreeze, carry out a visual inspection of the coolant in the expansion tank. If necessary, add coolant. If the heater in the car interior does not warm up well, the cause may be air in the system. This can be improved with a new cap that is designed to vent excess pressure and air accordingly. Yes! TJ must be within the Min and Max limits. A good option would be to check the quality of the antifreeze itself. This can be checked with a refractometer.

What is better to fill the car block with antifreeze or antifreeze?

Antifreeze is the generally accepted name for all coolants, “Tosol” is the same antifreeze, the production of which began in the USSR (“Tosol” was invented for VAZ cars). Compared to foreign brands, Tosol has a stronger odor, but is cheaper.

Engine operating temperatures sometimes reach such high temperatures that vehicle components can be damaged. Coolant is designed to lower the temperature in the cooling system. One of its properties is that it does not freeze in cold weather.

Feel free to use “Tosol” or any other antifreeze!

How long does it take to change antifreeze on a VAZ 2115?

The coolant should be replaced every sixty thousand kilometers of the car, or you should look at the color of the fluid, and after the fluid changes to a reddish color, change it.

Does it throw antifreeze out through the radiator neck on a VAZ 2106?

Sounds like an overflow or a plug in the radiator. If the overflow drain a little. If it heats up despite the antifreeze being poured in, there is a plug. But it shouldn't get hot at idle. Maximum up to engine operating temperature. You can try draining and flushing the radiator, and then fill it with new (not old) antifreeze. They can be washed at any service station where radiators are made. If flushing does not help, you need to change the radiator, otherwise you can ruin the engine.

Opel Astra Ash how to remove the plug from the cooling system?

Hello, in order to remove the plug from the cooling system, warm up the engine for about 20 minutes, then turn it off, leave the reservoir cap closed, remove the pipe on the throttle assembly and wait until the antifreeze starts to come out, at the moment the antifreeze starts to come out, return the tube to the original position and secure with a clamp.

What is poured into the Kalina cooling system?

7.84 liters of antifreeze (coolant) are poured into the cooling system of the Lada Kalina car. The manufacturer (AvtoVAZ) for Lada recommends using the following brands of antifreeze: Cool Steam Standard, Cool Steam Premium, G-Energy Antefreexe, TC-Felix, Felix Carbox, SINTEC, Long Life and G-48 Antifreeze. Lada manufacturers do not recommend mixing coolants of different brands. If the antifreeze is concentrated (indicated on the package), then it must be diluted with distilled water in the required proportions (also indicated on the package).

Why is the engine cooling fan constantly running?

The cooling fan constantly works only on motors that for some reason overheat. To avoid serious problems, it is necessary to respond to this problem immediately. The engine may overheat due to the thermostat. It often happens that the mechanism of this element jams. The fan, in turn, necessarily reacts to this. The thermostat itself remains only half open. As a result, the coolant cannot effectively remove heat from the engine as its movement through the system slows down. When the power unit overheats and the coolant temperature rises, the sensor reacts to this event and starts the fan. Owners of Opel Astra cars often encounter this problem - the cooling fan is constantly running. And the problem is solved by replacing the thermostat. https://fb.ru/article/278826/chto-delat-esli-ventilyator-ohlajdeniya-postoyanno-rabotaet-prichinyi-sposobyi-resheniya-problemyi-i-rekomendatsii.

Is it possible to mix green and red antifreeze, is there a risk of damaging the entire cooling system?

Mixing antifreeze is extremely dangerous, since each group and each type of coolant has different pour point/boiling point, different anti-corrosion and lubricating properties, and antifreeze can be synthetic or mineral.

The coolant should not contain impurities in the form of small particles, and when mixing antifreeze of different colors and markings (and even when mixing liquids of the same color, but from different manufacturers), a suspension of small particles may appear. And if you mix mineral and synthetic antifreeze, a sediment is guaranteed to appear, which will subsequently settle in the car’s cooling system and eventually clog the radiator, which will lead to the engine boiling.
