	Removing
	Risk of injury to skin and eyes caused by scalding from contact with hot coolant spray. Risk of poisoning caused by swallowing coolant.	Do not open cooling system unless coolant temperature is below 90°C. Open cap slowly and release the pressure. Do not pour coolant into beverage containers. Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and safety glasses.	AS20.00-Z-0001-01A
	Notes on coolant		AH20.00-N-2080-01A
1	Switch on ignition
2	Adjust heater to maximum heat output
3	Unscrew cap (1) slowly at expansion reservoir (2) and relieve overpressure
4	Check coolant level and antifreeze content coolant	Correct if necessary.
4	Check coolant level and antifreeze content coolant	Mixture ratio for coolant	*BF20.00-P-1001-04A
5	Screw on test cap (3) at the expansion reservoir (2)	Tester cap	*210589009100
6	Connect pressure pump (4) at test cap (3)	Pressure pump	*124589242100
7	Apply test pressure to cooling system	To prevent damage to cooling system, do not exceed stated test pressure.	*BE20.30-P-1005-01A
	Checking
8	Perform visual inspection of coolant carrying components	Check condition and coolant loss for all coolant carrying components and connections. The coolant carrying components should be checked for inner leaktightness if there is no external coolant loss. There is the possibility, for example, that coolant can find its way over a defective cylinder head gasket into the combustion chamber or over a defective water heat exchanger into the oil circuits.
8	Perform visual inspection of coolant carrying components	Check condition and seating of the Henn coupling; replace catch springs as required in order to avoid coolant loss.	AR09.41-P-1311-01AL

9	Release overpressure over valve on pressure pump (4) and remove pressure pump (4)	Pressure pump	*124589242100
10	Unscrew test cap (3) at the expansion reservoir (2)	Tester cap	*210589009100
11	Switch off ignition
