6. DRAINING AND FILLING

6.1 DRAINING AND FILLING/BLEEDING, COOLING SYSTEM

In order to avoid damaging the
engine block, do not top up the
warm engine with cold coolant.

Coolant is a toxic substance and
must be handled with care. Protect
the skin and eyes.

Coolant is harmful to the
environment; after use, it should be
processed as industrial chemical
waste.

When the coolant is hot, there is an
overpressure in the cooling system.
When removing the filler cap, allow
the overpressure to escape, by first
loosening the filler cap, one turn.

Draining the cooling system
1.

Turn the heater control knob to the
“warmest” temperature setting. As a result,
the heater cock will be fully opened.

2.

Remove the cooling system filler cap.

3.

Collect the coolant. To do so, place suitable
containers beneath the drain points.

4.

Drain the cooling system at the engine
block via drain tap (A) and the radiator via
drain plug (B).

5.

Flush out the cooling system.

6.

Close drain tap (A) and install drain
plug (B).
