Cooling system components - remove and install |
WARNING In all installation jobs, especially in the engine compartment, due to reduced space, pay attention to the following: |
t
| Place all tube types (fuel, hydraulics, activated charcoal, cooling fluid, brake fluid, vacuum) and electric cables in such a way that original positions are restored. |
t
| Ensure there is enough free space in relation to all mobile or hot parts. |
|
Note t
| When engine is hot the cooling system is under pressure. Before starting repair jobs, relieve pressure, if necessary. |
t
| Hose connections are ensured with spring braces. For repairs, use spring braces. |
t
| It is recommended to use Pliers -VAS 5024/- or Hose clamping pliers -V.A.G 1921/- to install spring braces. |
t
| On installation, hoses must not be tensioned and must not interfere with other parts (follow marking on connection and hose). |
Check cooling system leak-proof capability with Cooling system tester -V.A.G 1274/- and Adapter -V.A.G 1274/8- and Adapter -V.A.G 1274/9-. |
