You will need help to perform the operation to bleed the brakes.
When replacing, pump out the old fluid from the reservoir with a rubber bulb.
After pumping out the old brake fluid, pour a new one into the tank.
The replacement is carried out with the engine off, first in one circuit, and then in another in the following sequence:
- brake mechanism of the right rear wheel.
- brake mechanism of the left front wheel.
- brake mechanism of the left rear wheel.
- brake mechanism of the right front wheel.
Remove the protective cap from the brake bleed fitting.
Using a spanner wrench or a "10" head, we loosen the tightening of the bleed fitting. We put a hose on the fitting, and immerse its free end in a container partially filled with working fluid.
The assistant must vigorously press the brake pedal to the stop 4–5 times and keep it pressed.
Using the “10” wrench, unscrew the pumping union by 1 / 2–3 / 4 turn.
In this case, liquid with air bubbles will flow out of the hose, and the brake pedal will go forward.
As soon as the liquid stops flowing out of the hose (in this case, the pedal should reach the stop), we wrap the fitting, and only after that the assistant can release the pedal.
We repeat the pumping until the liquid coming out of the hose becomes light. We remove the hose, wipe dry the pumping fitting and put on a protective cap.
We pump over, as described above, the brake mechanism of the left front wheel.
Similarly, we pump over the brakes of another circuit.
When pumping, you need to monitor the fluid level in the reservoir and add fluid.
We pump the hydraulic drive of the brake system until the new fluid (lighter than the old one) starts to come out of the bleed fittings of all working cylinders. After pumping, we bring the fluid level in the brake hydraulic reservoir to normal.
There is an even simpler option for replacing the brake fluid. This method does not require the presence of an assistant. With this method, a certain amount of brake fluid is desirable (at least 1 liter).
We install the car on a viewing ditch or overpass and provide free movement between the brake fluid reservoir in the engine compartment and the brake cylinders of all four wheels.
We pump out the brake fluid from the reservoir with a rubber bulb or syringe. Add new liquid to the upper edge. To speed up the process (in order to release fluid from all the cylinders at once), it is advisable to pick up four pieces of tubes that fit tightly on the pumping fittings of all cylinders. We lower the free ends of the tubes into transparent bottles of a small container.
We unscrew the fittings of all brake cylinders. Make sure that the liquid has flowed through all four tubes. We control the decrease in fluid from the reservoir located on the brake cylinder and immediately replenish the reservoir. We observe an increase in the level of liquid in the bottles located near the wheel brake cylinders.
It is necessary to move several times from the position of observing the outflow of fluid from the unions of the brake cylinders to the position where it is possible to check and replenish the fluid level in the reservoir located on the brake cylinder in order to prevent the reservoir from draining.
Typically, the level rises most rapidly in the bottle into which the hose from the front left brake cylinder is dipped. As soon as there is about 200 ml of liquid in the bottle of the front left wheel, we wrap and tighten the fitting of this cylinder. Next, we wait for the same result for the front right wheel cylinder and also wrap its bleed fitting. The process can be completed after 200-250 ml of fluid has come out through the fitting of each rear wheel.
Antifreeze for Hyundai cars (Accent, Sonata, Elantra, Solaris, Tussan, Creta), and KIA (Sid, Sportage, Spectra, Rio) have the same article, manufacturer and the same composition. From the factory, these cars are filled with a green coolant made on the basis of ethylene glycol. She has hyundai-Kia MS 591–08, Korean KSM 2142 and Japan JIS K 2234 specifications... The filling volume for each car is different, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations. In Russia (at the plant in St. Petersburg), it is used instead analog of CoolStream A-110... Four brands of antifreeze available in the Russian market and the CIS countries fully comply with the specifications that are required for use in the cooling system.
Antifreeze in Hyundai and KIA that is filled from the manufacturer
In all configurations of the aforementioned cars, the antifreeze is always filled with the same - green (do not confuse it with G11). There are slight differences only depending on the country of car production.
For cars produced in Russia, antifreeze is produced by OJSC "Technoform" by order of LLC "Mobis Parts CIS". The article number of this fluid is R9000AC001H. This is a white liter bottle with Hyundai or Kia emblem and inscription Antifreeze Crown LLC A-110 belongs to the class of phosphate-carboxylate. Manufactured using the technologies of the Korean company Kukdong. The composition of this liquid, in addition to ethylene glycol, includes demineralized water and a special concentrate AC-110. Often, this antifreeze is bought for topping up. Pre you do not need to dilute it with distilled water.
There is also such a liquid, only under the article R9000AC001K. According to the catalog, it is used for KIA cars (this is indicated by the last letter K in the article). Both in composition and in volume, both antifreezes are completely identical. Coolants based on ethylene glycol, since both the Kia and Hyundai itself have an aluminum radiator. Both meet the Hyundai / Kia MS591-08 and JIS K 2234 specifications. There is only a slight price difference.
Original coolant for Hyundai and KIA, produced outside of Russia - Hyundai / Kia Long Life Coolant (concentrate) has an article number 0710000200 (2 l) or 0710000400 (4 l). Manufacturer - KUKDONG JEYEN COMPANY LTD. This antifreeze is based on phosphate ethylene glycol and contains at least amines, borates, silicates and nitrites, but belongs to the silicate class. Tellingly, the shelf life of this product is indicated on the packaging - 2 years (Coolant 2yr). But at the same time, the manufacturer recommends replacing antifreeze on Hyundai every 10 years. These disagreements are due to the fact that during long-term storage of this liquid, a sediment may form at the bottom of the container.
Since this South Korean antifreeze is supplied as a concentrate, before use it must be diluted with distilled water... It is desirable to dilute 1 to 1. In such proportions, the lower temperature regime of -37 ° C is achieved, and if you take 60 parts against 40 water, then all -52 degrees (in warm regions where the temperature does not fall below -26 ° C, use inverse proportion). With other ratios, the lower operating temperature also changes. As a rule, such a coolant is bought when a complete replacement of the coolant is made.
What kind of antifreeze can be poured into Hyundai and Kia?
In addition to those liquids that are poured from the conveyor, due to the high price of the original, substitutes are used for all Hyundai / Kia cars that fully meet all the necessary requirements. Direct analogue the original Russian antifreeze from the manufacturer is a liquid - CoolStream A-110... It can be sold in cans of 1 and 5 liters. This is a non-original antifreeze and is produced by the same Technoform company in the city of Klimovsk. This is an exact copy of what is sold under the Hyundai / Kia brand only in its own packaging. In the car system, in constant circulation, the liquid serves up to 10 years or 200 thousand km, although if you rely on the manufacturer's recommendations, then this should be an order of magnitude earlier - 120,000 km. The table below shows the physical and chemical characteristics of this antifreeze.
Also, very close popular counterpart, suitable for all the necessary specifications is antifreeze from a German company RAVENOL - HJC Hybrid Japanese Coolant... In composition and color, it is similar to the original fluid, but belongs to the hybrid class and the service life is only 3 years or 60 thousand km. It is sold both as a concentrate and as a ready-to-use liquid for topping up. Has several articles for ordering.

When do you need to change antifreeze for Hyundai and Kia?
According to the recommendations of manufacturers, most Hyundai (Accent, Sonata, Elantra, Solaris, Tucson, Creta) and KIA (Ceed, Sportage, Spectra, Rio) need to be replaced once every 10 years, or every 120 thousand km. But many experienced drivers agree that this is too long a period and recommend changing it at least every 2 years, or 30 thousand km. you can use distilled water or ready-made diluted antifreeze (not concentrate). Water is usually topped up when the vehicle is heavily used during the hot season.
In order for the Kia Rio car engine to serve for a long time and not be at risk of overheating, careful attention to its cooling system is required. This includes timely inspection, fluid replacement and worn out components. Everyone knows that "familiarity" with engine overheating entails a threat to fork out for expensive repairs.
Among the most important procedures in the maintenance schedule, there is a timely replacement of the liquid in the cooling circuit. In this article we will tell you what kind of coolant is poured into your car.
Let's touch on this topic in relation to the popular "Korean" Kia Rio in the third generation. The manufacturer's regulatory requirement indicates the need for a primary replacement after 210 thousand km or 8 years of car operation (depending on which happens first). Subsequent periodic replacements should be inclined every 30 thousand km or after a two-year operational period.
Signs of the need to replace the coolant
The replacement procedure for the specified refrigerant fluid may need to be performed earlier if the following circumstances and factors occur:
- the process of corrosion of the inner surfaces of the cooling circuit has started (antifreeze becomes brownish in this case);
- turbidity of the liquid was found, which signals the owner of the Kia Rio about the fact of a sediment;
- there was a decrease in the density of the liquid, which can be detected by means of a hydrometer.
What antifreeze does the system require in the Kia Rio 3?
The manufacturer insists on using a liquid prepared on the basis of antifreeze. The plant fills in a substance that has a green color. If there is a need to refill, it is recommended to do this, also using green antifreeze, which is suitable for use in aluminum radiators. However, you decide which antifreeze to add.
Antifreeze (non-freezing) is a coolant for refrigeration circuits, which contains many alcohol-containing substances, the so-called ethylene glycols. They have the following temperature limits:
- freezing of the substance is observed at minus 70 degrees Celsius;
- boiling occurs when the temperature approaches 195 degrees.
Whatever antifreeze you would not choose for the KIA Rio, it is traditionally diluted with distilled water at a 55 percent proportion.
Such a coolant is capable of boasting already modified characteristics:
- freezing at minus 40;
- boiling at plus 130 degrees.
Recall that the Rio cooling system holds 5.3 liters of the fluid in question.
The composition of the cooling system in the car Kia Rio
The cooling circuit in the Kia Rio implies the presence of components such as.
- Radiator.
- Electric fan for auxiliary cooling of heated cells of the radiator unit.
- Expansion tank, used to compensate for system overpressure.
- Thermostat. When the temperature of the liquid in a closed system reaches 82 degrees, this component directs the fluid flow along a large circuit (through the radiator). Full opening of the internal thermostat valve occurs when the temperature threshold of 95 degrees is reached.
- Pump that circulates the liquid.
- Tubes, both rubber and metal.
About replacing antifreeze with Rio
This procedure is simple and does not require certain skills, the main thing is to determine in advance what kind of coolant is poured into the car. All manipulations on the KIA Rio car can be done in a regular garage. In terms of convenience, a pit or overpass is suitable, since the drain plugs are structurally located at the bottom.
For long-term correct operation of the engine, it is necessary monitor the health and perform timely maintenance of the cooling system... Because engine overheating can lead to costly repairs. One of the maintenance procedures for the Kia Rio-3 cooling system is coolant change.
According to the maintenance regulations, the coolant is replaced at 210 thousand kilometers or after 10 years, whichever comes first. Subsequent replacements should be performed every 2 years or every 30 thousand km.
Signs of the need to replace the coolant
Replacing the coolant may be necessary much earlier if:
- Happened fluid color change (it began to have a brown tint - a sign of the formation of foci of corrosion in the system).
- Cooling the liquid became cloudy (indicates stratification or precipitation).
- Density decreased coolant (a hydrometer is used to determine the density).
What is the coolant in the Kia Rio-3
The manufacturer recommends using an antifreeze-based coolant in the Kia Rio-3 cooling system (the liquid filled from the factory is green, it is advisable to use antifreeze of the same color for top-up), designed for aluminum radiators.
Antifreeze (non-freezing)-coolant consisting of polyhydric oily, viscous alcohols - ethylene glycols (freezing point -70 ° С, boiling point + 195 ° С). It is customary to dilute antifreeze with water (the concentration of antifreeze must be at least 55%), the resulting coolant freezes at -40 ° C and boils in a sealed cooling system at + 130 ° C.
The volume of the Kia Rio-3 cooling system is 5.3 liters.
Cooling system Kia Rio-3
The cooling system in the Rio 3 consists of:
- Radiator
- Electric fan
- Expansion tank.
- Water pump (pomp).
- Thermostat (at a coolant temperature of + 82 ° C it starts to open, and at + 95 ° C it is completely open, ensuring the circulation of the liquid in a "big circle" (through the radiator).
- Hoses and pipes.
This video clearly shows the principle of the engine cooling system.
Replacing antifreeze in Kia Rio-3
Replacing antifreeze is quite simple. and does not require any special skills or special tools. Everything can be done at home.... However, it is more convenient to replace the coolant at the inspection pit or overpass, because drain plugs are located at the bottom.
Materials and tools:
- Drain container with a volume of about 6 liters (any old canister).
- Funnel (cut from an old plastic bottle will do).
- A rubber bulb with a tube or a large syringe (needed to pump fluid out of the expansion tank).
- Pliers.
- Rags.
The coolant is changed when the engine is cold.
Procedure for replacing the coolant:
- Rotate the filler cap half a turn to relieve system pressure.
- Crawl under the car and unscrew the engine guard and shield protecting the left side of the engine from dirt.
- Place a container under the radiator drain hole to drain the fluid.
- Unscrew the cooling system filler cap completely.
- Partially unscrew the drain plug (when the pressure decreases, unscrew it completely).
- After draining all antifreeze from the radiator, tighten the cap.
- Loosen the clamp on the lower radiator pipe, disconnect it and drain the remaining fluid from the engine.
- Then plug it in place.
- Pump out the old antifreeze from the expansion tank and fill in fresh antifreeze just above the "L" mark.
- Pour fresh antifreeze into the cooling system until it flows into the expansion tank. Close the cover.
- Start the car and let it warm up before turning on the fan (this will make sure that all parts of the cooling system are in good working order).
- Check the level of antifreeze and bring it up to the “F” (full) mark.
Due to the fact that air pockets may have formed in the cooling system, monitor the level of antifreeze for the first few days.
If a hot air does not blow from the stove on a warm engine, then this may indicate education in the cooling system airlock.

Replacing antifreeze Kia Rio
The highest prices for technical service motivate car owners to repair their vehicle without the help of others, including changing the cooling water.
In this article we will tell you how to choose antifreeze, where to fill it and in what quantity.
System elements
Cooling down of the motor contains: a radiator, an expansion tank, a pumping pump (pump), a thermostat, connecting pipes, an electronic cooling fan and an antifreeze-based liquid in a volume of 5.3 liters.
Signs of problems when to change
Condition monitoring consists in periodically checking the cooling water level and the absence of leaks or fogging of the joints of units and assemblies.
Indirect signs of malfunctioning of the cooling system appear in the form of an overestimated operating temperature of antifreeze and unsatisfactory heating of the vehicle interior.
Checking the level of the coolant fluid is carried out by visually determining its amount in the expansion tank. If there is a visible shortage, it is added to the norm.
"Cooling" consists of concentrated antifreeze and distilled water. During daily operation, only water evaporates, as it should, with insignificant minimization of the level, add it specifically. With large losses add antifreezediluted according to the manufacturer's advice.

The first replacement of the cooler on the Kia Rio 3, according to the regulations, is carried out after 120 thousand km that the car has passed, or 96 months of its use. The next changes are carried out after a mileage of 30 thousand km, or after two years of operation. The coolant is also recommended to be renewed after modifying the components and components of the cooling system.
The basis for changing the antifreeze on the Kia Rio 2 can be the color:
- brown - the beginning of the corrosive process;
- turbid - sediments of various origins.
Selection of "cooling"
Antifreeze is a coolant, the composition of which includes alcohols such as ethylene glycol (characteristics from 70 ° C below zero to 195 ° C). It is diluted distilled water with a concentration higher than 55%, providing a freezing consistency after -40 ° C, and boiling in a closed cooling system - more than 130 ° C.

The properties of the coolers are reflected in the index. Manufacturers recommend antifreeze for Kia Rio 2 marked G11. As the number increases, the characteristics of the liquid also increase: G12; G12 and G13. The latter is used when operating under especially difficult conditions and under extreme engine loads. You can use a cooler in a different color. The choice of antifreeze in any case remains with the car owner.
Attention! Only liquids with the same index and brand name can be mixed. This is justified by the difference between the additive packages, which can lead to the formation of foam, sludge, increases the likelihood of overheating of the Kia Rio 1 engine and the occurrence of corrosion in the cooling system.
Replacing the coolant in the Kia Rio 2 is carried out with preliminary flushing of the system distilled water.
How to do the job
The fluid for the Kia Rio 2 is replaced with a cooled engine. The car is placed on an inspection pit or placed on an overpass.
Prepare in advance:
- capacity for mining, up to 6 liters;
- filling funnel;
- large syringe or technical bulb for removing residual liquid;
- pliers;
