Cooling System Components, Removing and Installing

Cooling system components, removing and installing

CAUTION! When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:
^ Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, EVAP system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum lines and hoses) and electrical wiring so that the original positions are restored.
^ Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

Note:
^ When the engine is warm the cooling system is under pressure. If necessary release pressure before commencing repair work.
^ Hoses are secured with spring-type clips. In cases of repair only use spring-type clips.





^ The spring-type clip pliers VAS 5024 A are recommended for installing spring-type clips.
^ When installing coolant hoses, make sure they are free of stress and do not come into contact with other components (observe markings on coolant connections and hoses).

Perform a leak test of the cooling system using cooling system tester V.A.G 1274 and adapters V.A.G 1274/8 and V.A.G 1274/9.
