Coolant Drain / Fill

Caution
‘Spring band’ clips
‘Spring band’ clips must be installed as detailed below:

All coolant hoses and spigots must be de-greased before assembly.

Coolant Drain / Fill

1. Remove the front undertray.

Warning
Do not remove the pressure cap when the coolant is hot. Allow time for the coolant / engine to cool. Take particular care to avoid burns from the cooling system.

2. Remove the pressure cap from the Coolant Reservoir.
3. Loosen the drain plug. Drain the coolant into a suitable container.

4. Install the drain plug. Ensure the drain plug is secure.
5. Fill the cooling system with the specified coolant to maximum level in the Coolant Reservoir. Install the pressure cap.

Warning
Do not remove the pressure cap when the coolant is hot. Allow time for the coolant / engine to cool. Take particular care to avoid burns from the cooling system.

6. Run the engine until fully warm. Stop the engine and allow to cool down. Any coolant displaced due to expansion will be drawn back into the Coolant Reservoir as the system cools.
7. Re check the level at the Coolant Reservoir. Top-up as necessary to the maximum level.
8. Ensure the filler cap is secure after topping up.

Caution
Do not over tighten.

9. Install the front undertray.

Pressure Tests

Cooling System

1. Select the correct pressure tester adaptors and install the pressure tester to the Coolant Reservoir.
2. Bring the engine up to it’s correct working temperature.
3. Test the cooling system following the pressure tester manufacture instructions.

Pressure leakage (Refer to ‘Specifications’, page 3-4-2).

Pressure Cap

1. Select the correct pressure tester adaptors and install the pressure tester to the pressure cap.

Rinse the pressure cap in water to remove any sediment

2. Test the pressure cap following the pressure tester manufacture instructions.
3. Pressure leakage (Refer to ‘Specifications’, page 3-4-2).

If replacing a pressure cap, always install one of identical pressure specification to original equipment.
