Why is the alternator belt important?

The generator belt drives the pump through the crankshaft pulley. If it breaks, then, in addition to the generator stopping charging the battery and powering all the electrical components of the car, the pump also stops functioning. In this case, the engine has a high chance of overheating, because the circulation of antifreeze stops.

The entire cooling system depends on how the generator belt is tensioned. "Niva Chevrolet" with weak tension will work in the water pump assembly at only part of the power, due to pump slippage. All this leads to additional heating of the engine. Timely inspection and tightening of the belt will protect both you and your car.

Radiator "Niva Chevrolet"

The original radiator on a car is a fairly reliable unit. For preventive purposes, it is recommended to clean and wash the outside. The aluminum radiator grille should not become clogged, as this significantly reduces the heat dissipation properties. You should also regularly inspect it for mechanical damage and leaks. When using a car for a long time, it makes sense to flush the radiator channels internally. There are special additives and ready-made solutions for this.

If there is a need for replacement, it makes sense to think about the copper option. The heat dissipation properties of copper are better than aluminum, and the device as a whole will be much more efficient at cooling antifreeze.

As for the quality of antifreeze, do not forget to check its density with a hydrometer. This is especially true when the car is used in winter. The cooling system may completely fail. “Niva Chevrolet” and possible malfunctions of its radiator should not spoil the mood. It is best to always have concentrate in stock. Then, if the coolant density is insufficient, it will be possible to correct everything.

Normal coolant volume

The volume of coolant depends on the size of the car engine. A small car will need to be filled with up to 5–7 liters of antifreeze. The larger the engine capacity of the car, the more coolant will be required during replacement.

The dependence of the coolant volume on the car brand is presented in the table below:

To replace antifreeze in a car's cooling system, you need to calculate the volume of coolant based on the car's engine volume

It is important to take into account such points as:

• car make and model;
• brand and characteristics of antifreeze.

Basically, to replace antifreeze you will need from 3 to 7 liters of liquid. Moreover, the larger the engine volume of the car, the more antifreeze is needed so that the cooling system can function normally.

If you want to replace the coolant, be sure to use the same brand of antifreeze that was previously added.

Carefully read the coolant manufacturer's recommendations on the packaging and calculate how many liters you need to add to the system specifically for your car. Open the expansion tank and fill the liquid level to the MIN mark. There should be no air in the system.

The correct amount of antifreeze or antifreeze in the cooling system affects the life of the machine and its serviceability.

Water pump from Niva Chevrolet

What could be simpler: a pump and a cooling system. Chevrolet Niva guarantees competent work with the availability of high-quality components. But it is the water pump that is the weak link here. There are cases when this part literally turns into a consumable and is changed as often as filters.

There can be several reasons for pump failure. Most often this is a small resource and poor quality assembly. Fortunately, there is now a large selection of manufacturers, and you can choose the most durable part for yourself.

Replacing the pump yourself is not particularly difficult. But, as with any job, there are nuances. Particular attention should be paid to the required clearances during installation so that the drive belt is flush with all mounting points.

The main elements of the system and what are the benefits of silicone pipes

The details of the system are presented in the diagram above, these include:

• air cooling radiator (art. 2123-1301012);
• casing with fans (art. 2123-1300025-01);
• temperature sensor (art. 2101-3808600-02 and 2112-3851010);
• water pump (art. 2123-1307010);
• thermostat (art. 2123-1306010);
• pump (art. 21230-1307011-82).

All elements of the cooling system are connected to each other through various hoses and pipes, which in most cases are made of rubber or polymers with similar properties.

Note: the material used depends solely on the manufacturer of the specific spare part, so when choosing, you should pay attention to this point.

As a reasonable alternative to rubber hoses, car enthusiasts increasingly prefer silicone analogues, which are significantly more expensive. The main reason for this is that silicone does not “tan” in the cold and does not crack. This prevents coolant from leaking out of the system, which greatly affects its performance. Complete set of Chevrolet Niva cooling system pipes:

• Upper radiator hose - 1 piece;
• Lower radiator hose - 1 piece;
• Thermostat and water pump pipe 1 piece;
• Heater radiator supply hose;
• Heater radiator outlet hose.

The strength of the silicone itself largely depends on the thickness of the tube walls, as well as the presence of special reinforcement. Parts made from this material, made specifically for cooling systems, are often characterized by double reinforcement, which makes their design much stronger and more durable.

If you believe the reviews of the Shniva owners themselves, then all the additional costs of replacing rubber cooling pipes with silicone ones are completely justified. This is especially true if the car is operated in harsh northern conditions.

It should also be noted that in most cases the connections are clamped with spring clamps and only in rare cases are screw clamps used. Another undoubted advantage of silicone is the fact that it resists the effects of gasoline well without changing its physical properties.

Possible faults

Most often we are talking about fluid loss during operation, but there are other third-party factors.

Leaking antifreeze or antifreeze

Antifreeze is leaking from the pipes

The cooling system pipes and hoses are made of rubber, which is susceptible to low temperatures.
At the same time, its physical properties change and the material becomes more fragile, easily crumbles and bursts at the joints through which antifreeze or antifreeze “leaves.”

Most often this happens in the area where the clamps are sealed, since this is where the greatest load occurs. There are also cases when the clamps themselves become loose due to engine vibrations during operation.

In this case, leakage largely occurs due to the inattention of the owner himself, since excessive pinching of the joint leads to negative consequences. Most often, a leak is observed at the junction of the cooling pipe to the radiator, as well as to the heating system. The problem can be solved by replacing the failed tube or pipe.

Important : In most cases, it is easier to prevent a breakdown than to fix it later. To do this, you need to regularly check the fluid level and watch the instrument panel - too high an operating temperature is the most important indicator that there is a problem with the system.

Determining a leak is quite simple, since it is enough to check all the connecting elements with a cooled engine and determine the presence of moisture there, which should not be there.

Expansion tank not sealing

Many car owners are faced with a problem when the tank bursts due to excessive pressure in the system. The reason for this is the low quality of the product’s materials. The problem is solved quite simply:

• reducing the pressure level in the system due to less tight closure of the tank lid;
• replacing the element with a higher quality analogue.

Both options do not require large financial investments. It is noteworthy that this problem occurs much more often than others, so there are quite a lot of options for replacing a standard tank with a high-quality analogue.

Radiator leak

Most often, problems with the radiator arise due to its physical wear or mechanical damage.
