Replacing engine coolant
Stop the engine and let it cool. Even in this case, when the cover is removed should be cautious. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap and slowly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Get away from the radiator at the time of collapse. When you are sure that the pressure is decreased, push down on the cover, wrapped with a cloth, turn and remove it.
ATTENTION Engine coolant damaging the paintwork. If the engine coolant hit on the painted surface, wash it off immediately. |
Remove the bottom cover.
Remove the radiator drain plug and drain the engine coolant into the container (Fig. 2.306). Flush the cooling system of a pressurized water until colorless water outlet. Let the water drain out of the system. Tighten the radiator drain plug. Torque: 1.2-1.5 Nm. Select the concentration of the antifreeze in accordance with the following table nd 2.34. Top up the coolant in the coolant expansion tank to the maximum mark. Install the cooling system cap.
ATTENTION If the temperature gauge coolant went into the red zone, stop the engine and wait until it cools down to prevent overheating. After that, troubleshoot and repair the item or replace it. |
Start the engine and let it idle until the temperature gauge is not located in the center of the scale, and the engine speed is less than 1500 min -1. After the engine warms up, do the following by controlling the temperature of the engine coolant thermometer. Run the engine at 2500 min -1 for 5 minutes. Run the engine at 3000 min -1 for 5 seconds and then let it run at idle. Again, run the engine at 3000 min -1 for 5 with two. Stop the engine and let it cool. Check the coolant level. If the level is low, add coolant to the coolant expansion tank to the maximum mark. Check for coolant leaks. If you have a leak, identify the faulty part and repair or replace it.
