REMOVINGINSTALLING Remove/install     
IMPORTANT On engine 604 to 606 the pressure loss can be checked through bore for injection nozzle or glow plug.    
1 Warm up engine to normal operating temperature (approx. 80°C) and switch off engine    
2 Open engine hood    
DANGER 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
3 Unscrew the cap (2) on the expansion reservoir or on radiator IMPORTANT Cap with notch: Rotate cap anti-clockwise to detent 1, release pressure relief, then continue turning cap to detent 2.
IMPORTANT 2-stage cap: Rotate 2-stage cap half a revolution in counterclockwise direction, release overpressure, then unscrew cap.
