Examination
Attention:
- The engine has many parts made of aluminum alloys. These parts can be damaged if they come into contact with coolant based on alcohol or methanol. Do not use coolants based on alcohol or methanol. Use only coolants based on ethylene glycol.
- Use only soft (demineralized) water to prepare coolant from a concentrated solution. Water containing mineral salts reduces the cooling efficiency.
Check that the coolant level in the expansion tank on a cold engine is between the marks "MAX" And "MIN", on the wall of the tank. If the level is low, add coolant.
Replacement
Note:
- It is recommended to use a coolant that contains more than 50% ethylene glycol, but not more than 70%.
- To avoid burns, do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, as liquid vapor is under pressure.
1. Drain the coolant from the expansion tank.
2. Remove the radiator cap, unscrew the radiator drain cock.
3. Turn away a drain bolt of the block of cylinders. Drain the coolant.
4. Flush the cooling system with flushing fluid until only clean fluid comes out of the system.
5. Let the flushing liquid drain completely.
6. Tighten the radiator drain cock and cylinder block drain bolt.
Caution: coolant can damage the painted surfaces of the vehicle.
7. Fill in cooling liquid in a radiator.
8. Temporarily replace the radiator cap. Warm up the engine at 1500 rpm until the radiator turns on.
9. Stop the engine. Check the coolant level in the radiator. Add fluid to the radiator and expansion tank up to the mark "MAX" on the wall of the tank.
Note: To avoid burns, do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, as fluid and vapor are under pressure.
Filling capacity:
- total volume - 5.2 l
- when replacing coolant - 3.6 l
10. Close the radiator cap tightly.
11. Start the engine and let it run for a while at 1500 rpm. Make sure the coolant level has not dropped. If the level has dropped, add coolant.
