CAUTION:
When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:
- Route all lines and wires in their original locations.
- Make sure there is enough clearance to moving or hot components to prevent damage to the lines.
NOTE:
When the engine is warm the cooling system is under pressure. If necessary release the pressure before beginning any repair work.
Secure all hose connections with clamps.
The hose clip pliersV.A.G 1921 or VAS 6362 are recommended for installing spring clamps.
Always replace gaskets and seals.
The arrows on coolant pipes and coolant hoses must line up across from each other.
