Attention.
- Under pressure, the boiling point of the coolant in the radiator can be significantly higher. Removing the radiator cap on a hot engine (at high pressure), can cause the liquid to boil instantly with an explosive effect. The cooling mixture will splash onto the engine, the fenders of the car and the person who removed the radiator cap, which can result in serious burns. Flammable antifreeze, such as alcohol, is not recommended for use under any circumstances. Using flammable antifreeze can cause a serious fire.
- To prevent burns, do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. If you remove the cap too early, hot fluid and steam may escape under pressure.
1. Remove the expansion tank cap from the cooling system.
2. Check the coolant level and top up to the "Cold" mark if necessary.
3. Pull the expansion tank of the cooling system off the bracket in the direction of the battery.
4. Connect the cooling system leak tester (1) with EN-471 (2) and EN-6327-A (3) adapters to the cooling system expansion tank.
Note: Follow manufacturer's instructions.
5. Create pressure in the cooling system to approximately 100 kPa.
6. Check the cooling system for leaks.
7. Disconnect the cooling system testing device:
- Relieve pressure.
- Disconnect the device from the EN-471 adapter.
8. Install the expansion tank cap of the cooling system.
9. Move the expansion tank of the cooling system onto the bracket.
