WARNING Risk of injury  to skin and eyes suffering scalding from contact with hot coolantspray. Risk of poisoning  from swallowing coolant. Do not open cooling system unless coolant temperature is below 90°C. Open cap slowly and release the overpressure. Do not pour coolant into beverage containers.
Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and safety glasses.

REMOVING Remove     
1 Slowly unscrew cap on coolant expansion reservoir (1) and relieve overpressure if necessary.    
2 Check coolant level and antifreeze content of coolant. FLUID SPECIFICATION Cooling system *BF20.00-P-1001-02MA 
3 Attach tester cap (2) to coolant expansion reservoir (1). SPECIAL TOOL Test cap Fig 1
4 Connect pressure pump (3) to tester cap (2). SPECIAL TOOL Pressure pump Fig 2
INSPECT Check     
5 Apply a test pressure to the engine cooling system for 2 minutes. NOTES
Do not exceed the specified test pressure.
Damage will occur otherwise to the engine cooling system.
 
    IMPORTANT There should be no pressure loss within a period of 2 minutes.
HAND-HELD TESTER Test pressure for pressure-testing the engine cooling system
*BE20.30-P-1005-01A 
6 Perform visual check of coolant-carrying component parts and connecting points for condition and coolant loss. Where pressure loss is detected.  
INSTALLING Install     
7 Release overpressure via valve on pressure pump (3).    
8 Unscrew pressure pump (3) from tester cap (2).    
9 Unscrew tester cap (2) from coolant expansion reservoir (1).    
10 Check coolant level and antifreeze content of coolant; correct if necessary. FLUID SPECIFICATION Cooling system *BF20.00-P-1001-02MA 
11 Attach cap to coolant expansion reservoir (1).
