I believe everyone is no stranger to antifreeze, which can prevent the car from boiling (the temperature is too high), and it can also effectively prevent freezing when parking in cold areas. So for the novice Xiaobai, they may not know how to see if the antifreeze is lacking. Let's tell you how to check it.
The most direct way to check the lack of antifreeze is to look at the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely to lack antifreeze. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by the high temperature in the cylinder. . Secondly, we can directly open the front cover of the engine to check the antifreeze water tank. If you see that the liquid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), don't continue driving. At this time, you need to add antifreeze in time.If there is really no antifreeze, we can replace it with tap water, and then go to the auto repair shop to replace the original coolant as soon as possible.
Then some friends asked, isn’t it possible to add tap water to the water storage tank? If it is used in a short-term emergency, it is possible, and it will not cause any impact on the device. But it won’t work if it is used for a long time, because long-term accumulation will cause scale to adhere to the surface of the water tank and water jacket, and the heat dissipation effect is getting worse and worse, and it is difficult to remove it. If it is in a relatively cold area, it is even more needless to say, because the tap water itself has no anti-freezing effect, and it is easy to cause the water tank to freeze.
