Replacement Parts, Working Materials And Expendable Items

Replacement Parts:

• The degree of disassembly described in the repair information has been approved by the manufacturer and must be followed.
• In order to ensure that the repair quality is in line with the manufacturer specifications, it is recommended to use original replacement parts. Refer to the Parts Information.
• All information and technical specifications are for original replacement parts.
• The components must be checked for damage and function before installation.

Coolant hoses installation guidelines:

• Only use water/coolant additive to lubricate the coolant hoses.

Installation guideline for the radiator, condenser, and charge air cooler:

• After installing, the radiator, condenser, and charge air cooler may have slight impressions on their slats. This is not damage. Do not replace the radiator, condenser or charge air cooler because of these impressions.

Installation guidelines for passenger protection components:

• Pyrotechnic components must not be opened or repaired. Only use new parts.
• Pyrotechnic components that have fallen or show signs of damage must not be installed.
• Protect the airbag control module, pressure and crash sensors from bumps and impacts. Do not use crash sensors that have fallen onto the floor.
• Remove the pressure sensor when performing body work on the door.
• Avoid contaminating the pressure sensor and do not use compressed air in the area surrounding the pressure sensor.
• Protect the pressure sensor from filings or shavings (for example, when installing door speakers later).
• Do not use cavity sealant or spray lubricant in the area near the pressure sensor.
• Pressure sensors must be protected from moisture when installing.
• For the pressure sensor to function correctly, the door must seal correctly after it is assembled.
• All components (for example, cover, speaker, door trim panel) must be installed correctly.
• Door trim panel clips seal the system. Replace any fasteners that are damaged.

Working Materials and Expendable Items:

• In order to ensure that the repair quality is in line with the manufacturer specifications, it is recommended to use operating materials and consumables offered by the manufacturer. Refer to the Parts Information.
• Follow the manufacturer instructions provided on the label.
• Use work materials and consumables within their expiration date.

Information for coolant:

• Used coolant cannot be used again.
• Demineralized, deionized, distilled water must be used to mix the coolant concentrate due to country and region specific differences in the contents in tap water.
• Only use coolant additives approved for the vehicle.
• The freeze protection of the coolant must be set to -25 °C (-13 °F), for countries with an arctic climate to -36 °C (-33 °F). If a stronger freeze protection is necessary due to the climate, then the freeze protection may be increased. If necessary, the freeze protection can be set to a minimum of -52 °C (-62 °F), otherwise the cooling effect of the coolant will decrease.

• Coolant mixture ratio for 5 liters of coolant:

• Coolant mixture ratio for 10 liters of coolant:

Information about the brake fluid:

• Brake fluid is poisonous. Due to its caustic nature, it must also never be brought into contact with trim panels or body parts.
• Brake fluid is hygroscopic. This means that brake fluid take the moisture from the air.
• The containers must always be stored in another container and must be closed immediately after every use.
• Rinse off any leaking brake fluid with water.

Information about the refrigerant oil:

• Refrigerant oil is highly hygroscopic. This means that refrigerant oil takes the moisture from the surrounding air.
• The containers must always be stored in another container and must be closed immediately after every use.
