2.5.1.6.2. Addition of a concentrate of the cooling means (Mercedes-Benz)
Prevention
Example: measurement of protection of the 4-cylinder engine against freezing (without conditioner) by means of the areometer guarantees this protection up to the temperature of -20 °C. In this case merge 1,3 l of cooling liquid from the cooling system and then add 1,3 l of a pure concentrate of antifreeze. Thanks to it protection of the engine against freezing up to the temperature of -37 °C is guaranteed. If it is necessary to guarantee protection of the engine against freezing to –45 °C, replace 1,7 l of liquid.
