Location
A charge air cooler is mounted behind the air filter of each cylinder bank.

Task
The charge air coolers cool the charge air that has been heated up by compression.

Design
The compact charge air coolers are made of aluminum,. They are designed as water/air coolers.

Function
The charge air coolers are connected to a separate coolant circuit with low-temperature cooler and charge air cooler electric circulation pump (M44).
The charge air heated by the charging process gives out its heat to the coolant passing through the charge air cooler.

The charge air cooling function crucial depends on bubble-free filling of the low-temperature cooling circuit. A special tool (vacuum pump) is required for filling this circuit.

Only open the cap on the low-temperature coolant circuit when the charge air temperature is increased (lack of power) and the engine is cold. The coolant must reach up to the cap.
