Screw the rotor nut back on by hand. Check that the shaft is not damaged or loose. Contact a Scania workshop if the rotor shaft needs renewing. Note: Take care not to damage the rotor shaft.
The coolant should be changed when the cooling functioning antifreeze and corrosion protection system is cleaned: every 6,000 hours or at least may be used in Scania engines. Products not ful- every five years. See Changing the coolant and filling the demands in this section may lead to cleaning the cooling system.
There is no risk of damage by freezing if the content of Scania antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor, or an equiva- lent mixture of a similar product, is at least 35% by volume.
In order to retain the corrosion protection and the Scania Ready Mix 50/50 higher boiling point, it is essential to use coolant Scania Ready Mix 50/50 is a ready-mixed cool- consisting of water mixed with antifreeze and ant containing 50% antifreeze (ethylene glycol) corrosion inhibitor (ethylene glycol).
Cooling system Antifreeze and corrosion protection dosing 35% by volume of Scania antifreeze provides sufficient protection against corrosion. The low- er the temperature, the higher the anti-freeze content required. In the tables below, you can see how much antifreeze is required in litres and US gallons at different temperatures.
Only pour pre-mixed coolant into the cooling system. IMPORTANT! The following instructions apply to Scania ex- pansion tanks. For other types of expansion Use only pure fresh water that is free of particles, tanks, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Checking for leaks WARNING! If there is leakage in the fuel system, contact your nearest Scania workshop immediately. IMPORTANT! If there is a major oil or coolant leak, contact your nearest Scania workshop. Start the engine.
