level starts to drop.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ed7fac elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ed7fac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-section-id=\"ug706c\" data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"1987\">Where is the coolant located?<\/h3><p data-start=\"1989\" data-end=\"2073\">It is located in the transparent container of the cooling system in the engine compartment.<\/p><p data-start=\"2075\" data-end=\"2144\">There is usually a MIN and MAX mark to check the level.<\/p><h3 data-section-id=\"cbic89\" data-start=\"9039\" data-end=\"9079\">How long does coolant last?<\/h3><p data-start=\"9081\" data-end=\"9162\">On average, between 2 and 5 years, depending on the type of refrigerant and how the car is used.<\/p><h3 data-section-id=\"1y510is\" data-start=\"9169\" data-end=\"9231\">Why is the coolant dropping but I don&#039;t see any leaks?<\/h3><p data-start=\"9233\" data-end=\"9320\">Small leaks can evaporate with the heat of the engine and leave no visible traces.<\/p><h3 data-section-id=\"f9oek7\" data-start=\"9327\" data-end=\"9399\">Can the air conditioner stop cooling due to low refrigerant?<\/h3><p data-start=\"9401\" data-end=\"9404\">Yes.<\/p><p data-start=\"9406\" data-end=\"9487\">When the engine gets too hot, the air conditioning can become less effective.<\/p><h3 data-section-id=\"19gcfff\" data-start=\"9494\" data-end=\"9547\">Can I top up the coolant myself?<\/h3><p data-start=\"9549\" data-end=\"9643\">Yes, but only when the engine is completely cold and using the correct fluid compatible with the car.<\/p><h3 data-section-id=\"qjbju5\" data-start=\"9650\" data-end=\"9698\">Can I use water instead of coolant?<\/h3><p data-start=\"9700\" data-end=\"9729\">Only in temporary emergencies.<\/p><p data-start=\"9731\" data-end=\"9771\">Then the correct fluid must be restored.<\/p><h3 data-section-id=\"kyzf6t\" data-start=\"3439\" data-end=\"3495\">Does low coolant always turn on the light?<\/h3><p data-start=\"3497\" data-end=\"3501\">No.<\/p><p data-start=\"3503\" data-end=\"3580\">In many cars the level may already be too low even without the warning light on.<\/p><p data-start=\"3582\" data-end=\"3636\">And that&#039;s exactly what makes the problem dangerous.<\/p><h3 data-section-id=\"18n86o5\" data-start=\"3726\" data-end=\"3781\">Is it normal to top up the coolant frequently?<\/h3><p data-start=\"3783\" data-end=\"3787\">No.<\/p><p data-start=\"3789\" data-end=\"3906\">If you need to top up frequently, it almost always means that there is a leak or problem in the cooling system.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-481da61b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\"

comes the overheating.<\/p><p data-start=\"10109\" data-end=\"10145\">And there the costs change completely.<\/p><p data-start=\"4115\" data-end=\"4238\">The good news is that in most cases the problem can be identified before the engine suffers serious damage.<\/p><p data-start=\"4240\" data-end=\"4279\">But only if you don&#039;t ignore the early signs.<\/p><p data-start=\"4240\" data-end=\"4279\">And often everything starts from a level below the minimum that has been ignored for too long.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div
