Engine cooling: Precautions for the repair
IMPORTANT
The circuits are designed to be pressurized, so be careful at high temperatures (risk of serious burns).
Never 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 valve(s) while the engine is running.
Only use recommended coolants: GLACEOL RX (TYPE D).
WARNING
- The coolant helps to keep the engine running properly (heat exchange).
- The system does not operate using pure water.
WARNING
Take care not to damage the cooling unit fins (radiator, condenser, etc.) during handling. When carrying out a repair that requires a complete circuit drain, it is essential to flush the circuit with clean water, blow compressed air through the circuit to eliminate water, fill and drain the circuit and then " measure the effective protection " . The parameters to be observed are:
- protection down to - 25
