Van Wezel 40002262 Coolant, Engine Coolant

• Silicate‑based stabilizers for pH control.
• Zinc compounds that form protective films on metal surfaces.
• Phosphate additives to neutralize acids generated during engine operation.
• Antioxidants preventing oxidation of the glycol component.

This combination ensures a stable, low‑viscosity fluid that resists foaming and maintains consistent heat transfer performance over its service life.

Application & Usage Guidelines

1. Preparation: Before adding the coolant, drain any old fluid from the radiator and cooling system. Flush with distilled water if necessary to remove residual contaminants.
2. Mixing Ratio: For optimal performance, mix the Van Wezel coolant with distilled water in a 50:50 ratio unless vehicle specifications indicate otherwise.
3. Filling Procedure: Fill the radiator and overflow reservoir to the marked level. Ensure no air pockets remain by gently running the engine for a few minutes after filling.
4. Bleeding the System: Use a bleed valve or manual bleeding technique to eliminate trapped air, which can compromise cooling efficiency.
5. Regular Inspection: Check coolant level and condition every 12 months. Replace if it appears discolored, contains debris, or has lost its protective properties.

Safety & Handling Instructions

• Wear gloves and eye protection when handling the coolant to prevent skin irritation.
• Avoid ingestion; keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Dispose of used coolant according to local environmental regulations; do not pour into drains or soil.

Benefits for Vehicle Performance

The Van Wezel 40002262 Coolant offers several tangible advantages that translate into improved vehicle reliability and longevity:

• Consistent Engine Temperature: By maintaining a stable operating temperature, the coolant reduces thermal stress on engine components.
• Prevention of Overheating: The high heat‑transfer capacity helps avert overheating during prolonged idling or heavy traffic conditions.
• Corrosion Resistance: Long‑lasting inhibitors protect radiators, water pumps, and hoses from rust, extending the life of the cooling system.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Fewer coolant changes mean lower maintenance expenses over the vehicle’s lifespan.
• Environmental Responsibility: The biodegradable formulation minimizes ecological impact compared to traditional glycol‑based coolants.

Compatibility Spectrum

While specifically tailored for the Peugeot 106 (2000–2003) 1.1 L engine, this coolant is also suitable for a broad range of vehicles that require:

• A non‑ethylene glycol base.
• Corrosion protection compatible with aluminum and cast iron components.
• Thermal performance within the –30 °C to +120 °C operating window.

Installation Tips for Peugeot 106 Owners

1. Check Existing Coolant: If your vehicle has been using a different coolant, perform a thorough flush before installation.
2. Verify Radiator Compatibility: Ensure the radiator’s seals and hoses are in good condition to prevent leaks when switching coolants.
3. Use a Thermometer: Monitor engine temperature during the first few drives after filling to confirm proper cooling system function.
4. Document Service History: Keep records of coolant changes for future reference and resale value.
