| Components of the cooling system: Removing and installing |
WARNING | When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped conditions: |
| All the various lines (e.g. fuel, hydraulic system, active carbon filter system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum pipes and hoses) and electrical wiring must be installed in their original positions. |
| 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
| Secure all hose connections with the correct hose clips (same as original equipment) → Parts catalogue. |
| t
| We recommend you use a retaining tool -T20174- when installing the pipe brackets. |
| t
| Renew gaskets and seals. |
| t
| The arrow markings on the coolant pipes and on the ends of the hoses must be aligned with each other. |
| Perform cooling system leakage check with cooling system tester -SAT 1274- and the adapters -V.A.G 1274/8- and -V.A.G 1274/9-. |
