Coolant: Service and Repair
Changing Coolant
Changing coolant:
Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, use the following procedure:
Draining:
1
Remove the expansion tank cap.
2
Move the temperature adjustment control to max. heat. Open the drain cocks at the rear left of the engine block and at the bottom right corner of
the radiator.
3
Disconnect the lower right radiator hose.
Filling:
4
Close the drain cocks and reconnect the hose.
5
Fill the expansion tank to the MAX mark or slightly above.
6
Run the engine until hot. Check the cooling system connections for tightness. Recheck the coolant level.
Capacity: 7.4 US qts. (7.0 liters).
Coolant: Volvo Genuine Coolant/Anti- freeze only.
NOTE: Do not top up with water only. Water by itself reduces the rust-protective and antifreeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It
can also cause damage to the cooling system if it should freeze.
CAUTION: The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level. If it is not kept filled, there can be high local temperatures in the engine
which could result in damage. Different types of antifreeze/coolant may not be mixed.
