  Caution
When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped conditions:
t  Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, activated charcoal filter system, coolant and refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring in their original positions.
t  To avoid damage to lines, ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.
  Note
t  When the engine is warm, the cooling system is under pressure. If necessary, release pressure before beginning 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 5024A- or hose clip pliers -VAS 6340- are recommended for installation of spring-type clips.
t  When installing coolant hoses, route stress-free 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 B- and adapters -V.A.G 1274/8- and -V.A.G 1274/9-.
