Coola nt level
Hardly any losses occur since the cooling
system is sealed and it is thus rarely
necessary to top up the c oolant.
4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines: When
the cooling system is c old , the c oolant level
in the expansion tank should be slightly
above the KALT/COLD mark. Coolant level
can be read off from the outsid e of the
expansion tank.
For V6 petrol and d iesel engines, the
exp ansion tank must be opened in ord er to
check coolant level. When the c ooling
system is cold, the coolant should be up to
the
COLD mark on the filler opening.
When the engine is at op erating
temperature, coolant lev el rises. It falls
aga in when the system cools. If it falls
below the
KALT/COLD mark when the
system is cold, top up to the mark.
Top up a nti-freeze. If no anti-freeze is
av ailable, top up with clean tap water. If
tap water is unavailable, distilled water
can b e used.
After filling with tap water or d istilled
water, measure the anti-freeze
concentration and ad d anti-freez e if
required. H ave a workshop establish the
cause of the coolant loss.
Too low a coolant level can cause engine
dam age.
To close, position the cap and screw it into
place.
