Sign of recognition
Reason / features
A. Coolant is added regularly. A small amount of coolant enters the combustion chamber. This condition without symptoms can last for a long time.
B. Significant loss of coolant. When the engine is warm, a white exhaust gas plume is also emitted. The coolant enters the combustion chamber in a large volume, there it turns into steam and exits as «water vapor» from the exhaust pipe.
IN. Air bubbles rise from an open compensation tank, when the locking cap is opened, coolant under pressure splashes out of the tank or radiator. The engine throws exhaust gases into the cooling system. The vent smells like exhaust gases.
G. A film shimmering in variegated colors floats on the coolant. Engine oil has entered the cooling system.
D. A greyish emulsion appears on the dipstick to check the oil level, engine oil is riddled with water bubbles. Coolant has entered the engine oil. The cylinder head gasket or cylinder head is defective. Damage should be diagnosed immediately. Tow the vehicle to a workshop for repairs. Caution: Water in engine oil damages bearings.
