WARNING | When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped conditions: |
| t
| Route lines of any kind and cables so that original routing can be restored. |
| t
| Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components. |
|
Note | t
| When the engine is hot the cooling system is under pressure. If necessary, relieve pressure before commencing repair work. |
| t
| Hoses are secured with spring-type clips. In case of repair, only use spring-type clips. |
| t
| Spring-type clip pliers -VAS 6340- or hose clip pliers -VAS 6499- are recommended for installation of spring-type clips. |
| t
| Coolant hoses should be free from tension when installing, so that they do not come into contact with other components (observe markings on coolant connection and hose). |
| Test for leaks in cooling system using cooling system tester -V.A.G 1274/- and adapter for expansion tank -V.A.G 1274/8- and adapter for sealing cap -V.A.G 1274/9-. |
