There is an opinion among “experienced” drivers that there is nothing wrong with filling the cooling system of the car with water. The younger generation is also taught
The cooling system is the main unit responsible for the resource and proper operation of the engine, which in combination is the most expensive unit of any car. However, not everyone manages to connect these two facts and resist the temptation to save money: the coolant tends to boil away in the summer, drip through countless holes and out like a waterfall. to flow if the cooling system’s rubber hoses break. What to do in this case?
According to the mind – to take a taxi to the nearest store or gas station, where you can buy a can of “coolant”. But an experienced driver will proudly declare that this is all marketing and advertising, because you can solve the problem with water from the nearest puddle, then bring everything back to normal in the service and not pay too much for an antifreeze canister that leaks anyway. It was with such an owner that the editors Mitsubishi Lancer, acquired for the project “Used foreign car for 250,000 rubles: all lifehacks for the owner of the “old woman”, spent the past few years.
Let’s assume the development of events according to those ‘artifacts’ that we have inherited. One day, a car that clearly met all the parameters of “summer use only” began to lose antifreeze. The tank leaked, which was clumsily sealed. The problem was noticed: the temperature on the shield began to rise, the engine began to warm up. The owner, an elderly man who knew the taste of the domestic auto industry, pinpointed the problems and made no bones about it, just topping up to the water level. From the tap or from the nearest puddle of mud and duckweed – it does not matter. An important fact: H20 appeared in the cooling system. And the seemingly imperceptible changes began. For the worse, of course.
The first thing that made itself felt was a long metal tube that ran along the rear wall of the engine and the engine shield: it just rotted into holes. Finding such a spare part was apparently not easy or expensive, so the fistula was sealed with cold welding, more water was added and the operation continued. The luck of replacement has already pleased us: the pipe has rotted to the state of foil, the plaster has fallen off, everything under the hood filled with antifreeze, which was reasonably replaced immediately after purchase.
A careful examination showed that time had not passed through the radiator either: it literally washed the asphalt with tears. To replace. But the stove, which in effect started our “showdowns”, didn’t begin to blow any heat. And for some reason, the engine constantly worked in warm-up mode, absorbing a large amount of fuel. The answer lies on the surface: the thermostat has outlived its usefulness.
And when we replaced it, we finally found out the real cause of the Mitsubishi Lancer’s misfortune: water had been trapped in the cooling system for years, leading to corrosion in all rust-prone elements. All the motorcycle cooling shirt available to the eye was red. About a miracle, it turns out that antifreeze also has anti-corrosion properties, nor does it precipitate, which will surely show up the moment H2O boils!
The conclusion is simple: savings on the cooling system, expressed in the use of the wrong composition – from water to antifreeze – ultimately leads to expensive repairs. And if yesterday it was possible to proudly say that, they say, I just buy a new one, today it is worth waiting a little with such rhetoric.
