Cooling System/Coolant
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 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.
- Wear protective goggles and protective clothing to prevent damage to eyes and scalding.
- Reduce pressure by covering the coolant expansion tank cap with a cloth and carefully opening.
CAUTION:
- When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:
- Route lines of all types (for example, fuel, hydraulic, Evaporative Emission (EVAP), coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring so that the original path is followed.
- To prevent damage to the lines, make sure there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.
NOTE:
Only use approved clamps for hose connections. Refer to the appropriate service information.
The arrows on the coolant pipes and ends of the coolant hoses must align when installing.
