TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Vehicles versions prior to 11/2015 are equipped with a coolant pump with a switch. Do not exchange it separately. The component carrier must be replaced complete with the coolant pump (conversion to coolant pump without switch).
After the installation of the coolant pump without switch, the then unused vacuum hoses must be sealed with sealing caps.
Vehicles versions as of 11/2015 are equipped with a coolant pump without a switch. It can be exchanged separately.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Immobilization period-long fill of coolant!
Do not reuse used coolant.
When replacing and removing components which rely on the corrosion protection effect of the coolant, it is essential to change the coolant. The cooling system must therefore be emptied and refilled.
In the case of other removal work involving the draining of part quantities of coolant, the coolant level must be topped up with new coolant.
