Cooling System; (Intercooler) - Chevrolet 2012 Corvette Owner's Manual

Cooling System

(Intercooler)

The 6.2L LS9 supercharged
V8 engine has an intercooler
cooling system. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10 10 for location of the
intercooler.
The intercooler cooling system has
a special procedure for draining and
adding coolant. Because this
procedure is difficult, see the dealer
for service if the intercooler is low
on coolant. The procedure can also
be found in the service manual.
To purchase a service manual, see
Service Publications Ordering
Information on page 13 17.
Checking Coolant
1. Verify that the engine and
intercooler are no longer hot.
2. Place a cloth to absorb possible
coolant loss under the driver's
side bleeder valve (A).
Vehicle Care
3. Loosen, but do not completely
unscrew the bleeder valve to
check for coolant in the system.
4. Tighten the bleeder valve if there
is coolant flowing out of the
bleeder valve.
5. If there is no coolant flowing out
of the bleeder valve, there could
be a leak in the system. Tighten
the bleeder valve and contact
the dealer for service.
