water gauge level is low

The low engine coolant level is due to the insufficient coolant of the vehicle's engine, which can not meet the needs of daily travel. If the engine coolant level is low on the vehicle dashboard, it is recommended to go to the repair shop as soon as possible to check the cause. Some vehicles have coolant leakage.

If there is still something left in the pot when the coolant is lower than the minimum water level, it is allowed to continue driving. Even if the coolant level is low, there is still enough coolant to circulate in the cooling system, which will not have a great impact on the heat dissipation of the engine. At this time, the coolant should be added in time, otherwise the temperature of the engine may be too high, If the engine runs for a long time when the temperature is too high, it is easy to cause cylinder pulling. The engine coolant is too low. If it is lower than the minimum water level, there is still surplus in the pot. In this case, it can be opened. Although the coolant level is low, there is still enough coolant to circulate in the cooling system, which will not have a great impact on the heat dissipation of the engine, but it should be supplemented in time.

There are many kinds of additives in the coolant, which will gradually lose their due functions in the process of use, so that it is impossible to protect the interior of the cooling system. If the performance of the anti foam additive is invalid, the stirring of the impeller will cause bubbles in the coolant, which will greatly weaken the effect of coolant. Therefore, the coolant should be replaced on schedule.

Replace the coolant when the vehicle is cold. Due to the strong permeability of the coolant, before replacing the coolant, check and tighten all branch pipes and joints of the cooling system, especially various hoses and other parts prone to leakage. When changing the coolant, drain the original coolant in the engine first. When draining the coolant, keep the engine running at idle speed and shut down immediately after the water runs out. 1 if the vehicle has been driven, wait until the engine cools down before filling. Open the engine cover and find the engine coolant kettle. Generally, the kettle is spherical and has a triangle symbol similar to a thermometer on the lid. Turn the coolant kettle cover counterclockwise. If you hear a hissing sound, wait until the sound disappears before opening it. Fill the kettle with an appropriate amount of coolant and add it to the position between the max and min scales on the coolant kettle for the first time. Cover the lid and start the car. The coolant level in the kettle will slowly drop. At this time, it is necessary to add coolant again and still add it to the position between the max and min scales.
