244000602 - 0010T20 COOLANT CHECK DENSITY AND TOP UP IF NECESSARY
- Instructions for draining the system.- Position the vehicle on the lift.- Raise the lift. Op. 7055B54 UNDER-ENGINE GUARD - R R- Remove the engine coolant reservoir cap.- Position a suitable container for collecting the fluid under the vehicle.- Remove the band from the lower radiator hose and release the hose from the connector on the radiator.- Open the bleed screw on the radiator outlet hose completely.- Instructions for refilling the system.- Turn the passenger compartment heater control knob to the MAX heat position (tap open).1. Reconnect the lower radiator hose and secure it using the band.- Slowly introduce coolant via the filler located on the expansion tank until it comes out of the bleed screw on the radiator outlet hose.2. Then close the bleed screw.- Continue refilling until the coolant in the tank is at the MAX level.3. Tighten the engine coolant reservoir cap.
- Start up the engine and let it idle for about 2 minutes.- For vehicles with air conditioning, make sure that the climate control is switched off, in other words in the OFF position.- Then carry out gradual, periodic (every 30 secs.) acceleration until the engine speed is around 3000 rpm.- This operation should be carried out until the radiator fan cuts in/switches off at least twice.- Then switch off the engine and leave it to cool down.- After having left the engine to cool down, top up the fluid to the MAX level in the tank if necessary. At the end of this operation, make sure that at least the same amount of fluid that was collected when the system was drained has been introduced.- If there is any fluid left over, then the circuit needs to be bled further.
