Troubleshooting

Coolant level drops frequently

Inspect all clips, hoses, and joints for small leaks that may have been overlooked during the initial setup.

Spilled concentrate on vehicle bodywork

Immediately rinse the affected area with plenty of clean water to neutralize the chemicals and protect the paint finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, start by draining and flushing your cooling system with clean water. Inspect all hoses, clips, and joints for leaks, replacing them if necessary. Consult your vehicle's service manual to identify the total cooling system capacity.

Add 1.5 litres of water followed by your calculated volume of Autochem antifreeze (33% or 50% of the total system capacity). Top up with water to the fill line, replace the cap, and run the engine until it reaches normal temperature to purge air locks. Allow the system to cool, then check and top up the water level if needed. Always store the bottle in a secure, upright position. If the concentrate spills on your car's paintwork, rinse it off immediately with water to prevent damage.
