Antifreeze is a non-freezing process fluid designed to cool a running Hyundai ix35 engine at external temperatures from + 40C to - 30..60C. The boiling point of antifreeze is about +110C. Antifreeze also functions to lubricate the internal surfaces of the Hyundai ix35 system, including the water pump, preventing the formation of corrosion. The service life of the unit depends on the condition of the liquid.

Antifreeze is a brand of domestic antifreeze, developed back in 1971, which began to be produced in Togliatti during the Soviet era. There were only 2 types of domestic antifreeze: antifreeze-40 (blue) and antifreeze-65 (red).

Antifreezes are distinguished by the additives they contain:

  • Traditional antifreezes;
  • Hybrid antifreeze G-11(Hybrid, “hybrid coolants”, HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology));
  • Carboxylate antifreezes G-12, G-12+(“Carboxylate coolants”, OAT (Organic Acid Technology));
  • Lobrid antifreeze G-12++, G-13(“Lobrid coolants” or “SOAT coolants”).

If you need to add coolant to your Hyundai ix35, it is safe to mix only one type of antifreeze, not a color. Color is just a dye. It is prohibited to pour water (even distilled) into the Hyundai ix35 radiator, since in the heat at a temperature of 100C the water will boil and scale will form. In cold weather, the water will freeze and the pipes and radiator of the Hyundai ix35 will simply burst.

They replace the coolant on the Hyundai ix35 for several reasons:

  • Antifreeze is running out- the concentration of inhibitors in it decreases, heat transfer decreases;
  • The level of antifreeze from leaks has decreased- its level in the Hyundai expansion tank must remain constant. In this case, it can escape through leaks in connections, or cracks in the radiator or pipes.
  • Antifreeze level decreased due to engine overheating- the antifreeze begins to boil, a safety valve opens in the expansion tank cap of the Hyundai X35 cooling system, releasing antifreeze vapors into the atmosphere.
  • Hyundai ix35 cooling system parts are being replaced or engine repair;
An electric radiator fan that often works in hot weather is a reason to check the quality of antifreeze. If you do not promptly replace the antifreeze on the Hyundai ix35, it will lose its properties. As a result, oxides are formed, and there is a danger of engine overheating in hot weather and its defrosting at subzero temperatures. The first replacement period for G-12+ antifreeze is 250 thousand km, or 5 years.

Signs by which the condition of used antifreeze in a Hyundai ix35 is determined:

  • Test strip results;
  • Measuring antifreeze in Hyundai ix35 with a refractometer or hydrometer;
  • Change in color tone: for example, it was green, became rusty or yellow, as well as cloudiness, fading;
  • Presence of chips, chips, scale, foam.
Replacing antifreeze on a Hyundai X35 is not a complicated procedure:

Flushing the Hyundai ix35 cooling system, before adding new antifreeze, completely removes the protective layer and remnants of the old antifreeze; this is necessary when switching from one type to another. To flush the Hyundai X35 radiator, you should use a special product, which is often diluted with water in accordance with the instructions.

The finished flush is poured into the expansion tank of the Hyundai ix35 radiator with the engine turned off. It must first be warmed up to operating temperature so that the thermostat opens and antifreeze begins to circulate throughout the large circle of the cooling system.

Then start the engine and let it idle for 30 minutes. Drain the flushing liquid. The operation is repeated depending on the composition of the leaking liquid. The washing mixture can only be used on the first pass; in subsequent runs, distilled water can be used. The time for replacing antifreeze on a Hyundai ix35 is from half an hour, with flushing - up to 1.5 hours.

Important

1. Antifreeze is needed to cool the Hyundai ix35 engine and heat the car interior.

2. Coolant is classified according to its composition and additives included in the working fluid.

3. There are no specific signs of the need to replace antifreeze.

4. The frequency of coolant replacement is regulated by the car manufacturer and is indicated in the service book. On average after 60,000 km. mileage

5. Replacement of antifreeze should be carried out only in authorized service centers.

FUNCTIONAL PURPOSE OF COOLANT (ANTIFREEZE)

During operation, an internal combustion engine produces a large amount of heat that must be removed, otherwise the engine will simply overheat. And the more powerful the power unit, the greater the amount of heat it generates. Accordingly, the previously used air cooling on modern cars is unacceptable, and Hyundai ix35 automakers have been using antifreeze cooling for a long time.

Coolant has several distinctive features:

  1. does not freeze at subzero temperatures, which makes it suitable for use in any climate zone;
  2. has an increased boiling point, as a result the motor is effectively cooled;
  3. has a high heat capacity, which allows you to effectively remove heat from a running engine and transfer it to the radiator;
  4. anti-corrosion properties, subject to timely replacement of the coolant.

Over time, antifreeze begins to lose its properties. Therefore, replacing the coolant is included in the routine maintenance of the Hyundai ix35 both during the warranty period and after it.

Coolant is used not only to remove excess heat from the engine, but also to heat the interior. The multi-circuit cooling and heating circuit operates on the principle of “circles”, which turn on as the engine warms up. But before considering the principle of operation, the key components and mechanisms of the cooling system should be identified.

  1. cooling channels inside the internal combustion engine.
  2. hoses and pipes.
  3. a radiator through which the main heat loss occurs.
  4. a pump (pump) that circulates antifreeze in the system.
  5. thermostat responsible for turning on the cooling circuits.
  6. a radiator for the interior heater and a “faucet” that closes it when there is no need for heating.
  7. a storage tank into which antifreeze is poured, through which excess pressure in the system is released.
  8. cooling fan responsible for forced removal of excess heat.

If we consider the operation of the entire system, it will depend on the heating of the internal combustion engine. Immediately when the engine is turned on, the coolant begins to circulate in a small circle, which includes cooling channels, hoses and a pump. This speeds up the process of warming up the engine to operating temperature. As it heats up, a “large circle” opens, in which the radiator is already involved. When the car moves, the incoming air flow removes heat from the radiator, which provides the necessary heat loss. If a Hyundai ix35 is parked, for example, in a traffic jam, then when a certain temperature is reached (approximately 90-95 ° C), the fan turns on, ensuring the necessary air movement through the radiator and timely cooling of the engine.

The interior heater circuit in most models is activated by a solenoid valve or mechanical shut-off device. If by the time the internal combustion engine starts, the circuit is open, then antifreeze immediately begins to circulate through it. This slightly increases the time it takes for the internal combustion engine to reach operating temperature, but allows the interior of the Hyundai ix35 to be heated much faster. Provided that the antifreeze was replaced according to the car manufacturer's recommendations, the operation of the cabin heater will increase the engine warm-up time by no more than 5-15%.


TYPES OF ANTIFREEZE

The coolant is called antifreeze (from the English Antifreeze). It comes in different colors (most often red, blue and green), and can vary greatly in composition. Despite approximately the same “base”, the difference lies in additives - special additives that provide anti-corrosion, lubricating properties, as well as greater (or less) heat capacity and the ability to quickly absorb and release heat.

  • nitrite - usually available in blue. It contains inorganic additives that are not resistant to prolonged exposure to high temperatures;
  • hybrid - mainly produced in green. The composition includes both organic and inorganic additives (silicates and phosphates);
  • carbosilicate - most modern engines work with just such antifreeze. Produced mainly in red. Carbosilicate additives are used, which do not form deposits on contact metal surfaces, but create thin protection (0.1 microns) in areas where corrosion occurs. They have a long service life and are able to effectively cool the internal combustion engine;
  • lobrid - often produced in purple color, contain both organic and mineral additives. Degradation occurs extremely slowly, which ensures a long service life of the coolant. Since purple antifreeze forms a protective film along the entire length of the system, and the carbon components “work” only when corrosion occurs, the system does not need to be flushed at all. It is advisable to use purple antifreeze only in the case of a new engine, without actual mileage.

To simplify the selection of the appropriate coolant, manufacturers are increasingly using the coding introduced by the VW manufacturer. The marking indicates Gxx, where xx is a group of additives. So, for conventional coolant, the marking is specified in the form G05, G48. Hybrid ones are marked as G11, and carbosilicate ones - G12. Lobrids are marked G12++, G40.

Propylene glycol antifreezes, which are labeled G13, stand out a bit. They are used in engines developed after 2008. As a rule, they are orange in color and practically do not degrade provided the power unit is operating normally.

SIGNS OF ANTIFREEZE PRODUCTION Hyundai ix35

There are no specific signs by which one could understand that it is time to replace the antifreeze. However, the owner should be wary of the following phenomena:

  • slow heating of the interior when the heater is on - Hyundai ix35 antifreeze no longer transfers heat as effectively as in a new state;
  • frequent activation of the radiator forced cooling fan in traffic jams in cool weather - it is quite possible that the pump impeller has undergone cavitation, or the radiator is “clogged” with deposits, or foaming has begun in the antifreeze;
  • warming up the internal combustion engine too quickly or too slowly - heat is either slowly removed from the power unit, or deposits have disrupted the normal operation of the thermostat.

In addition, it is worth changing the coolant immediately after purchasing a used Hyundai ix35, regardless of the previous owner’s statements about the replacement.

Reasons leading to failure of the cooling system:

  • untimely replacement of antifreeze, ignoring maintenance schedules for the Hyundai ix35;
  • long-term operation of old, used coolant;
  • mixing different types of antifreeze;
  • adding water to antifreeze (plain or distilled);
  • oil getting into the coolant.



HOW OFTEN DO YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE COOLANT?

The frequency of replacing antifreeze is indicated in the service book of the Hyundai ix35. Each car manufacturer and even different models have different replacement frequencies. As a rule, it is necessary to replace antifreeze after 60,000 km. mileage However, it is important not to miss the moment and make a timely replacement, otherwise it will lead to unpleasant consequences.

  1. Removing the Hyundai ix35 from warranty. There will be nothing surprising in the refusal of warranty obligations, because coolant that is not replaced on time causes the engine to heat up more than usual, deposits appear in it, and corrosion occurs;
  2. corrosion of internal surfaces, which over time may lead to the need to replace the motor;
  3. cavitation - when Hyundai ix35 antifreeze boils, air bubbles will “knock out” metal particles. The erosion that occurs in the affected area thins the metal and will ultimately lead to clogging of the cooling system, followed by overheating of the power unit, and to its premature wear;
  4. leaks - microcracks may appear at the junction of pipes and metal parts;
  5. pump failure. The impeller wears out quickly due to cavitation that occurs in the degrading coolant.

RULES FOR REPLACING ANTI-FREEZE Hyundai ix35. SUBTLETS AND NUANCES

When replacing the coolant, the car owner must understand that this procedure is not an ordinary one, so you should contact an authorized service center. In addition, please keep in mind that:

  • Antifreeze is replaced only with a liquid recommended by the automaker Hyundai ix35;
  • It is not recommended to mix coolant of different brands and manufacturers;
  • The used liquid cannot be disposed of together with household waste.

When purchasing, you need to know the shade - Color And Type Antifreeze allowed for the year your Ix35 was made. Select the manufacturer at your discretion. Do not forget - each type of liquid has its own service life.
For example: for Hyundai Ix35 (1st generation) 2010, with a gasoline or diesel engine, suitable - carboxylate class antifreeze, type G12+ with shades of red. The approximate time for the next replacement will be 5 years. If possible, check the selected fluid for compliance with the requirements of the vehicle manufacturer's specifications and maintenance intervals. It is important to know Each type of liquid has its own color. There are rare cases when the type is tinted with a different color.
The color of red antifreeze can be from purple to light pink (green and yellow have the same principles).
Mix liquid from different manufacturers - Can, if their types meet the mixing conditions. G11 can be mixed with G11 analogues G11 cannot be mixed with G12 G11 can be mixed G12+ G11 can be mixed G12++ G11 can be mixed G13 G12 can be mixed with G12 analogues G12 cannot be mixed with G11 G12 can be mixed with G12+ G12 cannot be mixed with G12++ G12 cannot be mixed with G13 G12+, G12++ and G13 can be mixed with each other Mixing Antifreeze with Antifreeze is not allowed. No way! Antifreeze and Antifreeze differ greatly in quality. Antifreeze is the trade name for the traditional type (TL) of old-style coolant. At the end of its service life, the liquid becomes completely discolored or becomes very dull. Before replacing one type of fluid with another, rinse the car radiator with plain water.

Replacing antifreeze (coolant) on the Hyundai ix35 must be done at least 2 times a year: in spring and autumn. If the car travels more than 50 thousand km per year, then it is better to replace antifreeze with a Hyundai ix35 3 times a year.

If there is no information on how to fill antifreeze into a Hyundai ix35, contact our stations and we will select and fill the antifreeze of the required brand and required tolerances. Under no circumstances should you add antifreeze if you are not sure what is currently filled. If you mix antifreeze of different tolerances, the consequences will be very sad. In the best case, the cooling system will be repaired; in the worst case, the engine will have to be repaired.

Antifreeze replacement cost:

Type of work:Replacement
Replacing antifreezefrom 800 rub.
Replacing antifreeze with flushingfrom 1200 rub.

Where to change Hyundai ix35 antifreeze in St. Petersburg:

If the antifreeze suddenly disappears or the level constantly decreases and you have to top it up, immediately contact a service station. If you do not notice in time that there is not enough antifreeze, and the car has no antifreeze level sensor or an engine temperature sensor that does not work properly, then the cylinder head will overheat and this will again lead to expensive repairs.

When to replace:
- antifreeze is constantly leaking somewhere;
- cloudy color of antifreeze;
- presence of foam, sediment, etc. in the expansion tank;

IMPORTANT!!! Once again - if you are not sure what kind of antifreeze is poured in, do not fill it with anything, contact a service station to replace the antifreeze.
