Filling Device - Overview And Setup
Information
- Note special features in the corresponding chapter for vehicles with auxiliary heater.
Vacuum-filling device components
| 1 | Adapter K 65 (Fitted instead of the cap of the coolant reservoir.) Not shown! |
| 2 | Hose extension FZ 100 (Fitted between K65 and KVB 01.) |
| 3 | KVB 01 (Vacuum gauge with two shut-off valves.) |
| V1 | Shut-off valve V1 (Shut-off valve for the filler hose.) |
| -V2- | Shut-off valve V2 (Shut-off valve for the filler hose - outlet to Venturi nozzle.) |
| 4 | Venturi nozzle (A vacuum is produced in this component using compressed air. Pressure of between 6 and 10 bar must be present. The higher the pressure, the better the vacuum in the vehicle cooling system.) |
| 5 | Filler hose (The cooling system is refilled via this hose.) |
| 6 | Return lines (The compressed air and extracted coolant are drawn off via this hose.) |

| 2 | Overflow container (bucket or canister) |
| 3 | Compressed air connection |
| 4 | Compressed air connection (Pressure of between 6 and 10 bar must be present. The higher the pressure, the better the vacuum in the vehicle cooling system.) |
| 5 | Filling canister with coolant (It is best to position the canister higher than the reservoir). |
| 6 | Adapter K 65 (Fitted instead of the cap on the coolant expansion tank.). General illustration provided here. Use an intermediate cable/extension (FZ 100). |
| 7 | KVB 01 (Vacuum gauge with two shut-off valves V1 and V2) |
| V1 | Shut-off valve V1 (Shutoff valve for the filler hose.) |
| -V2- | Shut-off valve V2 (Shutoff valve for the filler hose - outlet to Venturi nozzle.) |
