Cooling System

CAUTION!
Hot steam may escape when opening the expansion tank cap. Wear protective goggles and protective clothing to prevent damage to eyes and scalding. Cover the cap with a cloth and open very carefully.

• When the engine is warm the cooling system is under pressure. If necessary release the pressure before beginning repair work.

• Secure all hose connections using hose clamps appropriate for the model type, refer to the parts catalog.

• Hose clip pliers (V.A.G 1921) or spring type clip pliers (VAS 5024A) are recommended for installing spring clamps.

• Always replace gaskets and seals.

• Arrows on coolant pipes and coolant hoses must line up across from each other.
