Cooling System Draining And Vacuum Filling (G2133653): Filling

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Install the front tow eye cover.
Torque : 7 Nm
NOTE: The drained coolant can be reused.

Prepare a sufficient volume of coolant using a 50% mixture of Land Rover Premium Cooling System Fluid or equivalent, meeting Land Rover specification WSS-M97B44-D and 50% water.
NOTE:
- Make sure the coolant supply valve is in the closed position on the vacuum filler gauge assembly.
- The coolant vacuum fill tool needs an air pressure of 6 to 8 bar (87 to 116 psi) to operate correctly.
- Small diameter or long airlines may restrict airflow to the coolant vacuum fill tool.

- Special Tool(s): HU-919
- Open the coolant supply valve and allow the coolant to be drawn into the system.
Remove the vacuum filler gauge and cooling system vacuum refill adapter assembly.
CAUTION:
- Make sure that the mating faces are clean and free of foreign material.
- Do not exceed 1.0 bar (15 psi) when pressurizing the cooling system.
NOTE: If the pressure continues to drop after the initial tolerance, there is a coolant leak.

- Using the correct adapter connect the cooling system pressure test kit to the vehicle expansion tank.
- Slowly pressurize the cooling system until the pressure gauge reads 1.0 bar (15 psi).
- Make sure the cooling system holds pressure, and continue to step 9 to bleed coolant from the bleed points.
Connect exhaust extraction hoses to the tail pipes.
CAUTION: Observe the engine temperature warning indicator. If the warning indicator is displayed, switch off immediately and allow to cool. Failure to follow this instruction may cause damage to the vehicle.
- Select sand driving mode.
- Set the heating system to 'MAX' heat, the blower motor to 'MAX' speed and the air distribution to the instrument panel vents.
- Start and run the engine.
CAUTION: Observe the engine temperature warning indicator. If the warning indicator is displayed, switch off immediately and allow to cool. Failure to follow this instruction may cause damage to the vehicle.

Hold the engine speed between 2000 rpm and 2500 rpm until warm air is expelled from the heater.
Switch the engine off and allow to cool.
Clean any spilt coolant from the vehicle.
WARNING: Since injury such as scalding could be caused by escaping steam or coolant, allow the vehicle cooling system to cool prior to carrying out this procedure.

If required, top up the coolant level to the maximum mark of the coolant expansion tank.
CAUTION: Correct installation of the coolant expansion tank cap can be obtained by tightening the cap until an audible click is heard.

Install the coolant expansion tank cap.
