The coolant drain plug from the cylinder block is located above the dipstick tube, and the radiator drain plug is located on the right radiator tank under the cooling fan activation sensor.
You will need
- key "at 13"
- coolant drain container
- coolant
- funnel
Attention! Use manufacturer recommended coolants (see Attachment).
Attention! The coolant is toxic, so be careful when handling it.
Attention! When starting the engine, the expansion tank cap must be closed. Screw the cap on the expansion tank tightly. The expansion tank is under pressure when the engine is running, and therefore, if the plug is loosely screwed on, coolant may leak from under it.
Attention! With the engine running, watch the coolant temperature on the gauge. If the arrow has reached the red zone, and the fan does not turn on, turn on the heater and check how much air flows through it. If the heater supplies heated air, then the fan is most likely defective (contact the experts), and if it is cold, then an air lock has formed in the engine cooling system. To remove it, turn off the engine, let it cool and unscrew the plug of the expansion tank. Start the engine, let it run for 3-5 minutes and close the plug of the expansion tank.
1. Open the heater tap by moving the control lever to the right as far as it will go.
2. Place a container under the drain plug of the cooling system radiator and unscrew the plug.
3. Open the coolant expansion tank cap by turning it counterclockwise.
4. Unscrew the drain plug on the cylinder block and drain the remaining coolant from the channels of the cylinder block, after substituting a container under it. Close the cork.
5. Fill the engine cooling system by pouring coolant into the expansion tank until the level reaches the top of the expansion tank belt. Wrap a stopper of a broad tank. Start the engine and let it warm up to operating temperature (before turning on the fan). After that, stop the engine, check the coolant level and, if necessary, top up to the level of the upper edge of the reservoir fastening belt.
