Diagram not available   WARNING Hot steam may escape when the compensation bottle is opened. t  Wear safety goggles and safety clothing, in order to avoid eye injuries and scalding. t  Cover the cap with a cloth and open carefully. –  Open the cap of the coolant expansion reservoir. –  Remove the sound dampening system → Body Work; Rep. gr.50.

–  Remove the left charge air hose, to do so slacken the screw clamps -arrows-. Diagram not available   Caution Shut off the opening of the charge air cooler, e.g. with a clean foam piece, so that no coolant can penetrate. –  Place a catch pan under the engine.
