64 12 700 Removing and installing/replacing latent heat accumulator: Installation:
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2003 BMW 540i, 2002 BMW 540i, 2001 BMW 540i, 2000 BMW 540i, and 1999 BMW 540i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Prior to installation, prefill latent heat accumulator with coolant. To do so, place accumulator in vertical position.
- Insert funnel and hose in a lead and seal (e.g. with Terostat tape). Carefully fill system with coolant. The coolant is forced through the latent heat accumulator by the generated head of water. Continue adding coolant until it emerges from the other line.
- Reinstall latent heat accumulator as vertically as possible.
- Vent latent heat accumulator after installation. See 64 12 Venting Latent Heat Accumulator (LWS) .
