Cooling

IMPORTANT Consult the safety and cleanliness advice and operation recommendations before carrying out any repair.

 

IMPORTANT The circuits are designed to be pressurised, so be careful at high temperatures (risk of serious burns).

Do not remove the cap from the expansion bottle while the engine is hot.

Take care when carrying out a repair under the bonnet, as the radiator fan(s) may start to operate without warning.

Do not open the bleed screw(s) with the engine running.

 

WARNING When carrying out a repair that requires a complete change, it is essential to flush the circuit with clean water, blast compressed air through the circuit to drive out the water, fill and bleed the circuit and then measure the effective protection.

The criteria to be met are:

  • protection down to -25ºC +- 2 for cold and temperate countries,
  • protection down to -40ºC +- 2 for "extreme cold" countries.

 

WARNING Before disconnecting the battery:
  • wait for the motor-driven fan assembly to stop,
  • wait for the computer to finish saving (1 minute).
