Check frequency
The tightness and condition of the cooling system hoses are checked every 15,000 km.
Examine places of connection of hoses to knots of system of cooling. If a leak is found, tighten the clamps or replace them if necessary.
Inspect hoses along their entire length, replace any that are torn, cracked or have lost elasticity. Drain the coolant from the cooling system before replacing hoses (see subsection 3.4.).
Inspect the radiator and engine drain plugs, as well as the fan sensor. If there are leaks in these places, tighten the plugs and the sensor.
Checking is recommended to be carried out on a viewing ditch, a lift or by lifting the car with a jack and placing it on supports.
