What antifreeze to fill in Hyundai Getz 1.3. Stages of replacing Hyundai Getz coolant

Sooner or later, all car enthusiasts have to face one problem - replacing the coolant. In this article we will try to give a detailed answer to the question of what antifreeze to fill in the Hyundai Solaris, in what volume and how to correctly replace the coolant.

The instructions that come with the Hyundai Solaris car say that the first coolant replacement should be carried out no earlier than after 200,000 kilometers. However, for those motorists who rarely use the car, this indicator is determined not in mileage, but in years - and here the indicator is 10 years. Further replacement must be carried out after 30 thousand kilometers or every two years of operation.

Replacing antifreeze on Hyundai Getz

The procedure is not complicated:

1. First, you should turn off the running Hyundai Getz engine and, if possible, allow it to cool.
2. Place a container with a volume of 7 to 11 liters under the radiator.
3. To relieve pressure in the Hyundai Getz cooling system, slowly turn the expansion tank cap counterclockwise. If you remove the plug quickly, the antifreeze under high pressure can burn the driver’s hands and face.
4. There are two ways to drain fluid from the radiator in a Hyundai Getz: through the drain valve of the lower tank, or by disconnecting the lower pipe. A rubber hose is placed on the drainage spout, which should lead to a container for drainage.
5. By completely opening the plugs, the vacuum inside the hydraulic system of the Hyundai Getz radiator is removed, and the antifreeze is drained by gravity into the container. The condition of the coolant used determines whether flushing is necessary. If the fluid does not flow out, the drain may be clogged with dirt.
6. Flushing the Hyundai Getz cooling system completely removes the protective layer of old antifreeze; this is necessary when switching from one type of antifreeze to another.
7. Now we tighten all the drain plugs, fill in new antifreeze through the expansion tank or the upper hole of the radiator.
8. Then you should start the engine and let it run for 5-10 minutes. When bleeding the system, air escapes through the filler neck. As the coolant decreases, it must be added until it reaches the required level. The level is marked on the expansion tank. Wait until the engine cools down before topping up.
9. Upon completion of work, check for leaks.
10. Flushing the Hyundai Getz cooling system, before filling in 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 Getz radiator, you should use a special product, which is often diluted with water in accordance with the instructions.

How to remove air from the cooling system?

When replacing antifreeze on a Hyundai Getz, air pockets may form. It is quite easy to detect them already during the first warm-up of the engine after filling in new coolant.

While the engine is running, carefully press the upper pipes, which should become warm. About two minutes after the start of warming up, turn on the stove - if the supplied air is warm, the antifreeze works normally. In this case, the fan turns on after about 10-12 minutes, when the lower pipe begins to warm up very much.

If turning on the fan does not stabilize the temperature rise, air pockets may appear in the system. These are discharged through the air valve, if this assembly has one. If not, let the engine run with the radiator and expansion tank caps open. During operation, squeeze the bleeding hoses to eliminate bubbles in the circulating antifreeze.

What antifreeze to pour into Getz

It is recommended to use ethylene glycol-based coolant for aluminum radiators in your car. Ready-made Hyundai/Kia coolant “Crown LLC A-110”, JIS K 2234 standard, liter bottle item number R9000AC001H, costs 350 rubles.

Antifreeze g12 Patron AFRED5PATRON is also suitable; a container with a volume of 5 liters of concentrate costs 280 rubles. LiquiMoly Kuhlerfrostschutz KFS 2001 Plus G12 - 8841 (5 liters), average price - 2415 rubles. TCL “LLC −50C”, 4 liters (green) LLC01229 - 850 rubles. Antifreeze concentrate produced by Niagara “G12+” product code 001002001022 1.5 liters. Price 500 rubles.

Stages of replacing Hyundai Getz coolant

The best option for replacing the coolant is draining the old antifreeze and completely flushing the system with distilled water. This method achieves the optimal ability of the new liquid to remove heat. And also retain its original properties for a longer time.

The car was supplied under different names and modifications for different markets, so the process will be relevant for the following models:

• Hyundai Getz Restyling;
• Hyundai Click;
• Dodge Brisa;
• Inokom Getz;
• Hyundai TB (Hyundai TB “Think Basic”).

Engines of different sizes were installed on this model. The most popular are petrol 1.4 and 1.6 liters. Although there were still options for 1.3 and 1.1 liters, as well as a diesel engine with a volume of 1.5 liters.

Coolant drain

You can find information on the Internet that in order to drain the fluid more completely, you need to replace it on a warm engine. But this is fundamentally wrong; you need to change it only when it has cooled down, at least to 50°C.

When replacing on a hot engine, there is a possibility of deformation of the block head due to a sudden change in temperature. There is also a high risk of getting burns.

Therefore, before starting work, we leave the machine to cool down. During this time, you can complete the preparation. For example, remove protection if it is installed, after which you can proceed to further actions:

The most difficult task is removing and installing hose clamps without special tools. Therefore, many advise changing them to regular, worm-type ones. But it is better to buy a special puller, which is not expensive. It will save a lot of time when replacing now and in the future.

So on this model you can completely drain the antifreeze as much as possible. But you should understand that some of it will still remain in the block’s channels.

Flushing the cooling system

To flush the cooling system from heavy deposits, special flushes based on chemical components are used. With a normal replacement this is not required, you just need to flush the old antifreeze out of the system. Therefore, we will use ordinary distilled water.

To do this, we put the pipes in their places, clamp them with clamps, and check that the drain holes are closed. We fill the expansion tank to the strip with the letter F, then fill the radiator with water up to the neck. Screw on the caps and start the engine.

You need to wait until the engine warms up to operating temperature. When the thermostat opens, water will flow through a large circuit, flushing the entire system. After this, we turn off the car, wait for it to cool down and drain it.

We repeat these steps several times. A good result is considered when the color of the drained water is transparent.

Filling without air pockets

When using ready-made antifreeze for filling, you need to understand that after flushing, a residue of distilled water that cannot be drained remains in the system. Therefore, for Hyundai Getz it is better to use concentrate and dilute it taking into account this residue. Usually about 1.5 liters remain undrained.

It is necessary to fill in new antifreeze in the same way as distilled water when flushing. First into the expansion tank to mark F, then into the radiator to the top of the neck. In this case, you can press the upper and lower thick pipes going to it with your hands. After filling, tighten the plugs on the filler necks.

We begin warming up, periodically adding gas to speed up the warming up and speed of fluid circulation. After complete warming up, the stove should blow hot air, and both pipes going to the radiator should be evenly heated. This indicates that we did everything correctly and did not develop an air lock.

After warming up, turn off the engine, wait until it cools down and check the level. If necessary, fill the radiator to the top, and in the tank between the letters L and F.

Hyundai Getz pump replacement

Repair Hyundai Getz 1

• Model: Hyundai Getz TB
• Body type: hatchback
• Year, mileage: 2005, 169,000 km
• Gearbox, drive: manual, front
• Engine: 1.6 petrol

Reason for contacting the Hyundai Getz Auto-Mig :

• Hyundai Getz pump replacement

• the engine is not cooled

Diagnostics revealed the following:

• The cooling system did not work due to a pump failure. There was antifreeze in the system, but it did not circulate because the pump impeller had broken. Therefore, the engine did not cool down, and the result could be overheating of the engine and expensive repairs later. The job of replacing the pump itself is quite simple and not expensive, but on this machine, before replacing it, you need to remove the timing belt. This greatly increases the cost of the procedure, since in fact you also pay for the work of removing and installing this belt.

Completed work:

• removing the timing belt
• pump replacement
• timing belt installation
• adding antifreeze

Hyundai Getz pump replacement

Parts used:

• 25100-26902 — coolant pump (pump)

The cost of replacing a pump on a Hyundai Getz can be checked with an auto repair shop technician.

Replacement frequency, what antifreeze to fill

Previously, according to the regulations, the first replacement had to be carried out at a mileage of 45,000 kilometers. Subsequent replacements must be made taking into account the antifreeze used. This information must be present on the product canister.

It is best to choose a green canister with a yellow label, this is a modern P-OAT phosphate-carboxylate liquid. Designed for a service life of 10 years, ordering numbers 07100-00220 (2 l.), 07100-00420 (4 l.).

Our more popular antifreeze in a silver canister with a green label has a service life of 2 years and is considered obsolete. It is manufactured using silicate technology, but also has all the approvals, 07100-00200 (2 l.), 07100-00400 (4 l.).

Both antifreezes have the same green color, which, as is known, does not affect the properties, but is used only as a dye. Their chemical composition, additives and technologies are different, so mixing is not recommended.

You can also fill in TECHNOFORM products. This is Crown LLC A-110, which is poured into Hyundai cars at the factory. Or its full analogue Coolstream A-110 produced for retail sale. They are produced in Russia under license from Kukdong and also have all the necessary approvals.

How much antifreeze is in the cooling system, volume table

Assembly

Insert the O-ring into the groove at the end of the inlet pipe, wet the O-ring with coolant, and attach the inlet pipe to the cylinder block.

Make sure there is a yellow mark on the supply hose and connect the end of the hose with the yellow mark to the end of the supply pipe with the yellow mark.

NOTES

Do not apply oil or grease to the O-ring of the supply line.

The supply line should be inserted all the way into the socket in the cylinder block.

Removed O-rings are not reused and must be replaced with new ones.

Leaks and problems

The Hyundai Getz has some weak points. These include the radiator cap; due to the jamming of the valve located in it, there is a possibility of a leak in the system. This occurs due to excess pressure, which the stuck valve ceases to regulate.

The radiator drain plug often breaks and requires replacement; when replacing the fluid, it is better to have it in stock. Order code 25318-38000. Sometimes there are problems with the stove, which can cause the interior to smell like antifreeze.

The cooling system is filled year-round with a mixture of water and antifreeze with an anti-corrosion additive from the VW/SEAT concern. This mixture prevents freezing and corrosion of the cooling system, salt deposits and, in addition, increases the boiling point of the coolant. In the circulation circuit, as a result of the expansion of the liquid when heated, increased pressure is created, which also contributes to an increase in the boiling point of the coolant. The pressure is limited by a valve located in the expansion tank cap, which opens at a pressure of 1.4 - 1.6 bar. For the engine cooling system to function flawlessly, a high boiling point of the coolant is required. If the boiling point is too low, vapor locks can form, causing poor engine cooling. Therefore, the cooling system must be filled with a mixture of water and antifreeze all year round.

It is necessary to use antifreeze G12 Plus (purple color, exact designation G 012 A8F) or another con, for example, Glysantin-Alu-Protect-Premium/G30.

If the cooling system is filled with a mixture containing G12 antifreeze (red, exact designation G 012 A8D), then red G12 antifreeze or another con, for example, Glysantin-Alu-Protect/G30, can also be used to replenish the coolant level. Note: G12 purple can be mixed with G12 red.

Caution: Do not mix red G12 antifreeze with the older green G11 antifreeze, as this can cause severe engine damage. The coolant is brown (the result of mixing antifreeze G12 and G11), replace it immediately.

Note:

If a liquid with an antifreeze additive of the wrong specification accidentally ends up in the cooling system, the system must be flushed. To do this, all liquid from the cooling system should be completely drained and the system filled with clean water. Leave the engine idling for two minutes. Drain the water again and blow out the system from the side of the expansion tank with compressed air to completely empty it. Close the drain plug and fill the cooling system with a mixture of water and G12-Plus antifreeze.

Attention: To replenish the cooling system (also in the warm season), only use a mixture of G12-Plus (purple) with soft, clean water. The proportion of antifreeze, also in summer, should not be lower than 40%. Therefore, when refilling the cooling system Antifreeze should always be added to water.

In our latitudes, the coolant should provide protection against freezing down to -25 °C, or even better - down to -35 °C. The proportion of antifreeze should not exceed 60% (antifreeze protection of the coolant down to -40 °C), otherwise the antifreeze protection and cooling effect of the liquid are reduced. Note:

Depending on the equipment of the vehicle, the amount of coolant filled may differ slightly from the values ​​​​indicated in the table

Ratio of coolant components in liters

Replacing antifreeze on a Hyundai Getz is carried out according to a standard procedure, which requires the car owner to have certain technical knowledge of the cooling system and experience working with the engine. If you have minimal skills, you can change the coolant yourself; the procedure takes up to three hours, depending on the flushing.

Timing for replacing coolant in Hyundai Getz

A pressing issue when replacing coolant in any car is the frequency of this operation. Experts do not identify strict values ​​​​that should be guided by, but they pay attention to the service life of the antifreeze itself.

Depending on the brand and class of coolant, it is changed approximately every 5 years.

.
The main condition is its high-quality work during this period and the absence of other factors requiring replacement. The reason for
changing antifreeze ahead of schedule may be one of the following factors:

• the car was purchased on the secondary market and there is no information about the coolant filled;
• the engine overheats greatly, the antifreeze level constantly drops;
• the coolant has changed its color, foreign impurities, chips, and sediment have appeared in the expansion tank;
• a malfunction of one or more parts of the cooling system has been detected, the replacement of which requires draining the coolant.

If no such reasons are found, the antifreeze in the Hyundai Getz is replaced taking into account the service life of the filled consumable. In a car purchased from the manufacturer, the coolant may not require replacement for up to 9 years.

Main reasons

If the stoves on Hyundai Getz cars do not heat well, potential reasons may lie in:

• cooling system;
• thermostat;
• ventilator;
• cabin filter;
• stove radiator.

Let's look at each problem separately and find ways to solve them.

Cooling system

As with other cars, in the case of the Hyundai Getz there is a rule according to which the heating system is directly dependent on the cooling system. Therefore, if the furnace begins to blow not warm, but cold air, despite the heating mode being set, the reasons should be sought in the cooling system.

It operates in the Hyundai Getz on antifreeze, which can leak out or simply evaporate as the vehicle is used. Some car owners simply forget to periodically add coolant.

If there is a leak due to damage, you will have to check the radiator, pipes and all connections for integrity. The task is more complex, which amateurs in the field of car repair should better entrust to specialists. To begin with, just try adding antifreeze to the tank up to the MAX mark. If the stove returns to normal operation, you have identified the cause.

Thermostat

It is considered a rather complex problem, since the thermostat is responsible for regulating the temperature of the motor. It also controls the flow of coolant that circulates through Hyundai Getz systems.

If the antifreeze does not function well or has failed, then the heated coolant will not be able to enter the heater. Therefore, it will be cold inside the Hyundai Getz cabin.

The problem can only be solved by dismantling and replacing the thermostat.

Fan

If the stove warms up, but the heated air still does not enter the cabin or comes out very weakly, the problem may be with the heater fan. To change the fan yourself, you will need to carry out a number of dismantling works. On the Hyundai Getz, the fan is not hidden so far, but beginners may have some difficulties accessing this element.

You can try to do everything yourself or entrust the work to car service specialists.

Coolant Change Instructions

Replacing antifreeze in a Hyundai Getz requires knowledge of the cooling system, but follows a fairly simple procedure. To implement it, first of all, pay attention to safety regulations

:

• in order to avoid thermal burns from parts and the antifreeze itself, all operations are performed on a cooled engine, after each warm-up it is given time to cool;
• the coolant circulates in the system under high pressure; when the engine cools down, it decreases, however, sudden opening of the covers and drain plugs is fraught with splashes and the solution getting on your hands and face;
• antifreeze is extremely toxic, all manipulations are carried out with gloves, waste coolant should not be drained or washed into the soil, and the presence of animals and children nearby is also undesirable.

equipment will be required to replace antifreeze:

:

• rubber gloves, a clean rag, a funnel for pouring and overflowing;
• a set of screwdrivers and keys, pliers and pliers, if possible - a compressor for blowing out the system, a syringe or bulb for pumping out residues;
• container for draining, calculated volume - from 5 liters, additional containers for washing will also be needed;
• consumables - new antifreeze to replace the used one, cleaning agent if necessary, distilled water for washing and diluting the concentrate.

It is recommended to first check the system for worn parts that may soon require replacement. So that because of them you do not have to change the antifreeze again soon, purchase the appropriate analogues and change them simultaneously with the antifreeze.

You should buy consumables only from official dealers and trusted suppliers. Pay attention to the original quality and recommendations of the manufacturer; excessive savings can lead to costly repairs in the future.

Separately, the purchase of antifreeze is highlighted. Hyundai Getz cars are suitable for class G12, G12+ or G12++ depending on the year of manufacture of the car. The approximate volume is 6-7 liters; in certain situations it is recommended to have a small reserve in case of leakage.

If you purchase concentrate, you will need 3 liters. Dilute it with distilled water in a 1:1 ratio. It is recommended to mix in a separate container and pour the ready-made solution into the system.

However, depending on flushing or lack thereof, a certain amount of water or old antifreeze may remain in the system. Taking into account this factor, alternate pouring of concentrate and distillate is allowed, however, such a mixture does not guarantee high-quality work.

The entire process of replacing antifreeze for the Hyundai Getz is conventionally divided into three stages: draining, flushing and filling with new coolant. Flushing is not considered mandatory if the same brand is being poured and there was no reason to consider the previous antifreeze to be of poor quality.

General procedure

replacement involves the following steps:

• park the car on level ground, if possible use a repair pit or lift;
• if the engine has not been running for a long time, it is warmed up, turned off, allowed to cool, and as an additional safety measure, the minus is removed from the battery;
• uncork the radiator and expansion tank caps, and take into account the system pressure when opening;
• Place a container under the lower part of the radiator to drain used antifreeze, unscrew the drain plug;

• The coolant is also drained from the cylinder block; to do this, carefully move the bundle of wires to the side in its lower part and disconnect the pipe;

• Draining antifreeze from the Hyundai Getz tank is done in different ways - removing the tank itself and washing it separately, purging the system with a compressor, pumping with a bulb or syringe, briefly warming up the engine;
• the total volume of drained antifreeze is approximately 4.5 liters; for further flushing of the system, all connections are returned to their original form;
• flushing agent or distilled water is poured into the system, the engine is warmed up to operating temperature, turned off, and allowed to cool;
• draining is carried out according to the same procedure as with antifreeze, if a special flushing agent was used - the system must be rinsed again with distilled water;
• the washing procedure is repeated until the drained water remains relatively clean;
• after this, the system is restored to its original form, all fasteners are checked for tightness;
• new antifreeze is poured first into the radiator, then into the expansion tank to the mark indicating the permissible maximum;
• Filling is done slowly, in a thin stream, squeezing the pumping hoses - this avoids the occurrence of air locks;
• after filling the coolant, warm up the engine with the radiator and expansion tank caps open;
• after the engine is running, the level of antifreeze in the tank usually decreases - it is filled again to the upper limit and all caps are screwed on;
• After warming up, the lower connections are checked for tightness and leaks.

Within a few days, depending on the intensity of vehicle use, the condition of the antifreeze is checked again. If the level has dropped, add the required amount. If the color has changed, the coolant is of poor quality and requires new replacement.

Care should be taken when unscrewing and tightening connections, especially clamps and plugs. Experts emphasize the vulnerability of these parts and threads, which can lead to their breakage and antifreeze leakage.

Some car owners greatly simplify the washing process. For this purpose, the lower drains are left open, and ordinary water is supplied to the system under medium pressure. This method allows you to avoid warming up the engine and constant manipulation of pipes and drains, however, it does not always guarantee high-quality cleaning.
