| Description and Operation The cooling system consists of an aluminium radiator core with plastic end tanks, water circulation pump, thermostat, expansion tank and electrically driven cooling fan. The wax type thermostat ensures rapid engine warm up by restricting coolant flow at lower operating temperatures. It also assists in maintaining engine operating temperatures between pre-determined limits. WARNING:Disconnect the battery when working in the vicinity of the engine cooling fan. The fan is operated by the engine management system and an increase in coolant temperature may cause the fan to operate even with the ignition in the OFF position. Failure to follow this instruction can result in personal injury. The cooling fan is mounted within a shroud behind the radiator. Antifreeze WARNING:Antifreeze contains monoethylene glycol and other constituents which are toxic if taken internally and can be absorbed into the skin after prolonged contact. Antifreeze content should be checked through the neck of the expansion tank with a hydrometer. The specific gravity (sg) of correctly balanced fluid is 1.061 (sg) at 15°C, which indicates an antifreeze concentration of 40%. If the concentration falls below 40% there is insufficient low temperature protection and the corrosion resistance will be inadequate. In such cases the concentration must be brought back to specification. Changing Coolant CAUTION:When releasing the system pressure, cover the expansion tank cap with a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of coolant scalding. Failure to follow this instruction can result in personal injury. CAUTION:When draining the engine coolant or changing any cooling system components, it is imperative that no coolant comes into contact with the camshaft or auxiliary drive belt. If necessary the belt should be removed. Contamination of the belt can result in belt failure. Engine coolant is formulated to last the lifetime of the vehicle and does not require replacement at regular intervals. If however, the coolant is lost or topping up is required, the system should be filled to the MAX level. |
