Description of the design of the cooling system Note (figure 2.1). The opening pressure of the safety valve in the expansion tank cap is 1.2 bar (brown cork). Figure 2 1. Functional diagram of the cooling system (engines K4M, F4R, F4P - cars with MKL): 1 - engine, 2...
General information and precautions when repairing the cooling system Since cooling systems are designed to operate under pressure, beware of severe burns from escaping fluid. Never remove the expansion tank cap while the engine is hot. When working in the engine compartment, also beware...
Filling the system and removing air Note: Coolant is constantly circulated through the heater core, which improves engine cooling efficiency. Refueling Be sure to open the air bleed valves. Fill the system with coolant through the expansion tank opening....
Checking the tightness of the system Replace the expansion tank cap valve with the MS 554-01 adapter. Connect the MS 554-07 device to it. Warm up the engine, then stop it. Build up pressure in the system. Stop pumping when the pressure becomes 0.1 bar...
Checking the valve opening pressure If fluid leaks through the expansion tank cap valve, it must be replaced. Install the MS 554-06 fixture on the MS 554-07 pump, then install the valve to be tested on the fixture Increase the pressure. It should...
