Cooling System Safety Precautions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2014 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:

Risk of scalding due to hot steam and hot coolant.

  • The coolant system is under pressure when the engine is warm.
  • Cover the coolant reservoir cap with a cloth and then open it slowly to release the pressure.

Danger of personal injury due to the coolant fan turning on by itself.

  • Disconnect the connectors before working near the fan shroud.
CAUTION:

The vehicle could overheat if the cap is installed incorrectly.

  • Close the cap on the coolant reservoir until it locks into place.
NOTE:

When the engine is warm the cooling system is under pressure. If necessary release pressure before commencing repair work.

Secure all hose connections with hose clamps.

Use Spring-Type Clip Pliers to installing spring clips.

Always replace gaskets and seals.

Arrows on coolant pipes and coolant hoses must line up across from each other.
