3. Installation et préparation

1. Ensure the engine is completely cool before beginning the application process. This is crucial to prevent burns from hot coolant or steam.
2. Locate the radiator cap. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual if you are unsure of its location.
3. Check the coolant level. If the coolant level is low, top it off with the appropriate coolant/antifreeze mixture before adding the stop leak.
4. Shake the Bar's Leaks 01196 bottle thoroughly for at least 30 seconds to ensure the contents are well mixed.

4. Instructions d'utilisation (Application)

Follow these steps carefully to apply the Radiator Stop Leak Concentrate:

1. With the engine cool, carefully remove the radiator cap.
2. Pour the entire contents of the Bar's Leaks 01196 bottle directly into the radiator. If there is not enough space in the radiator, remove a small amount of coolant to make room.
3. Replace the radiator cap securely.
4. Start the engine and allow it to run for 10 to 20 minutes, or until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. This allows the product to circulate throughout the cooling system and locate the leaks.
5. Coupez le moteur et laissez-le refroidir complètement.
6. Check the coolant level and top off if necessary with the recommended coolant/antifreeze.

For best results, drive the vehicle normally for 1 to 2 days after application to allow the product to fully seal the leaks.

5. Entretien

After successful application and sealing of leaks, regular cooling system maintenance is still recommended. This includes:

• Periodically check coolant levels and top off as needed.
• Inspect hoses and connections for signs of wear or damage.
• Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations for coolant flush and replacement intervals.

6. Dépannage

If leaks persist after following the application instructions:

• Leak persists after initial application: Ensure all steps were followed correctly. Sometimes, a second application may be necessary for larger or multiple leaks.
• Engine overheating: If the engine overheats after application, turn off the engine immediately and allow it to cool. Check coolant levels and ensure there are no blockages in the cooling system. Consult a professional mechanic if overheating continues.
• Product not mixing: Ensure the bottle was shaken thoroughly before adding to the radiator.

For severe or persistent leaks, professional automotive repair may be required.
