1.2.5 Safety precautions when working on
cooling system
WARNING
Hot steam may escape when the compensation bottle is
opened.
♦ Wear safety goggles and safety clothing, in order to avoid
eye injuries and scalding.
♦ Cover cap with cloth and open carefully.
Caution
When undertaking all assembly work, particularly in the engine
compartment due to its cramped construction, please observe
the following:
♦ 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.
Secure all hose connections with hose clamps, assignment ⇒

When installing fit the coolant hoses free of stress, without
♦
them touching any other components (pay attention to the
marking on the coolant connection and hose).

ing on the fuel supply/injection system:
♦ Thoroughly clean the connection points and their surroundings
before releasing.
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover. Do not use
fuzzy cloths!

completed immediately.
♦ Only install clean components: Remove spare parts from their
wrapping immediately before fitting. Do not use any parts
which have been stored unwrapped (e.g. in tool boxes etc.).
