1.1 General notes on cooling system
WARNING
Steam may escape when expansion tank is opened. Wear eye
protection and protective clothing to avoid eye injuries and
scalding. Cover cap with cloth and open carefully.
Caution
When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compart‐
ment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped condi‐
tions:
♦ Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, acti‐
vated charcoal filter system, coolant and refrigerant, brake
fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring in their original po‐
sitions.
♦ To avoid damage to lines, ensure sufficient clearance from
all moving or hot components.
Note
When the engine is warm, the cooling system is under pres‐
♦
sure. If necessary, release pressure before beginning repair
work.
Hoses are secured with spring-type clips. In case of repair,
♦
only use spring-type clips.
Spring-type clip pliers -VAS 6340- or hose clip pliers -VAS
♦
6362- are recommended for installation of spring-type clips.
When installing coolant hoses, route stress-free so that they
♦
do not come into contact with other components (observe
markings on coolant connection and hose).
The arrows on the coolant pipes and coolant hoses must be
♦
aligned with each other.
Only demineralised / distilled water to standard VDE-0510
♦
may be used for mixing. Tap water does not have the required
quality to ensure the coolant's function.
