Coolant: Service and Repair

REPLACING COOLANT AND BLEEDING COOLING SYSTEM

1. Drain coolant (only from cold engine). Set heater control lever to "warm" position and unscrew drain plugs on radiator and crankcase.









2. Install drain plugs.
Tightening torque:
Radiator 5 Nm (43 in. lb)
Crankcase 20 Nm (14 ft lb)
Leave or set heater control lever to "warm" position and remove bleeder plugs. Add coolant slowly until fluid level in expansion tank is kept at the "max." mark constantly.





3. Start engine and run to operating temperature at fast idle speed (until radiator fan has switched on and off).

If fluid leaving bleeder opening is without air bubbles, insert plug and tighten hose clamp. Check coolant level, adding more coolant if necessary.
