		Results of the tests
1	PRELIMINARY CHECKS	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Check the level of the coolant.Find out from the customer whether the problem has occurred previouslyCheck the condition of the radiator. In particular, check for signs of deformation - traces of leaks - external dirt - fluid with excessive traces of rust.	Continue to Step 2	Level too low: the customer has never complained of the problem	Restore the correct level
			Level too low: repeated problem	See table   X10  ENGINE COOLANT LEAKS
			Radiator distorted	Replace the radiator Op.   1088B20
			Radiator dirty	Clean the radiator Op. 1088A20
			Radiator is leaking	Replace the radiator
			Liquid with excessive traces of rust	Clean the inside of the radiator and cooling circuit
