Cooling System


When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:

Route all lines and wires in their original locations.

Make sure there is enough clearance to moving or hot components to prevent damage to the lines.

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

Secure all hose connections with hose clamps, allocation, refer to the parts catalog.

The hose clip pliers (V.A.G 1921) or hose clip pliers (VAS 6362) 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.
