DRAINING AND FILLING





Draining

- Remove cap from coolant expansion tank
- Drain coolant via hoses 1 and 2 or from the thermostat flange

Filling

NOTE: The cooling system is filled with a mixture of water and anti-freeze containing G 11 corrosion inhibitors designed for year round usage. G 11 and coolant additives marked as being in accordance with TL: VW 774 B prevent frost and corrosion damage, the formation of chalk and in addition raise the boiling point of the mixture. Due to the higher boiling point, the coolant is an aid to operational efficiency when the engine is operating at high loads, particularly in hot climates.

If the radiator, heater core, cylinder head or cylinder head gasket are replaced, install ALL new coolant. Do NOT re-use old coolant.
