Warning!
Danger of scalding!
Only perform this work after engine has cooled down.





Release screws (1).
Pull expansion tank (2) in direction of arrow out of grommet (3) underneath and place to one side.

Installation Note:
Make sure expansion tank (2) is correctly seated in grommet (3).
If necessary, replace grommet (3).

Disconnect plug connection (4).





Note:

Important!
Do not damage connected water hoses.
Reposition expansion tank as far as possible until coolant level switch (2) forms the highest point. This will prevent coolant from escaping on opening.
If necessary, catch escaping coolant and feed back in later.
