Over time, each car owner notices that the level of antifreeze gets gradually reduced. But there are no large puddles under the car. The most affected are vehicles with engines equipped with plastic flanges in the cooling system. Time and temperature fluctuations may cause leakage of antifreeze. First – drop by drop, then – more seriously.

The motor flange is considered one of the most probable reasons of antifreeze leakage. Often there are no visible traces of this, because the coolant evaporates relatively quickly from the hot block. But on the flange mounting bolts traces of leakage can always be seen with the naked eye.

If antifreeze stains suddenly appear next to the cooling system, you should immediately think of buying a spare flange, preferably an original one. This item is relatively cheap, but very demanding and important, since the operating temperature mode of the engine depends on it. And do not forget that a faulty flange leads to leakage of coolant and engine overheating, and these are additional unnecessary worries and expenses.

What you need to know about a coolant flange replacement: lifetime limits, common defects and their signs, tips and recommendations

A coolant flange doesn’t have a specified service life. Component is replaced in case of mechanical damages which lead to system depressurization.

Coolant flange defects are indicated by cooling fluid leakage. In this case engine overheating often takes place: a corresponding indicator is active on the dashboard. Also, an antifreeze smell can appear in the passenger compartment.

For coolant flange diagnostics you should inspect the unit for damages and stains. It is better to visit a service station for this. On many cars access to the coolant flange, T-pipe and other components of the cooling system can be troubled: in order to inspect them one will need to demount some other car parts.

It is better to entrust installation of a new coolant flange to professionals with special tools. Before component replacement one needs to drain coolant from the system, disconnect the coolant temperature sensor. Non-qualified flange installation can cause engine overheating during driving.
