COOLING CIRCUIT
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
Install the cap from pressure tester Ms. 554-03 in
place of the coolant bottle cap.
• Connect pressure tester Ms. 554-03 to this cap.
• Open the heater valve.
• Run the engine to warm it up then switch off.
• Pump tester
to
pressurize
the
circuit.
Stop
pumping when the gauge indicates 1.6 bar (23 psi)
(red zone limit) which is 0.4 bar (6 psi) over the
calibration
of the valve.
• The pressure should remain steady; if it does not,
locate and repair the leak.
• Decompress the
cooling
circuit
by gradually
unscrewing the union on the pressure tester. Then
remove the cap adapter and replace the expansion
bottle cap after checking its pressure release value
as described on the following
page.
