FAQs
How often should I use FACOM Anti-leak Radiator?
This product is suitable for regular use as a preventative measure. Add it when performing routine coolant checks or top-ups if you suspect minor leaks.
Will this product fix a blown head gasket?
No, this additive is designed for small leaks and porosity, not for major failures like a blown head gasket. Significant repairs require professional attention.
Can I mix this with different types of coolant?
FACOM Anti-leak Radiator is generally compatible with most standard automotive coolants. However, always refer to your vehicle's manual for specific coolant recommendations.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place, the product typically maintains its efficacy for several years. Refer to the packaging for any specific expiry information.
Is this a permanent solution for leaks?
This product is intended to stop cooling liquid leakage, acting as a sealant for small breaches. For larger or persistent leaks, it is advisable to diagnose and repair the underlying mechanical issue.
What happens if I add too much?
Using the recommended amount (250ml) is advised. While minor over-addition is unlikely to cause severe harm, it might slightly reduce the effectiveness or potentially lead to minor system blockage in extreme cases. Stick to the specified dosage.
Troubleshooting
Coolant level continues to drop after application
The leak may be too large for the additive to seal effectively. Inspect the cooling system for visible damage (hoses, radiator, water pump) and seek professional repair.
Engine temperature still rising
Ensure the additive has had sufficient time to circulate and seal the leak. If the problem persists, the leak may be significant, or there may be another issue causing overheating. Check fan operation and thermostat.
Additive appears to have clumped
This is uncommon but could indicate contamination or extreme temperatures. Ensure the product was stored correctly. If clumping is observed, it might reduce effectiveness. Consult product documentation or manufacturer support.
