Cooling System

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.

• To prevent damage to the lines, make sure there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

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

• Hoses are secured with spring type clips. In cases of repair only use spring type clips.

• The spring type clip pliers (VAS 5024A) are recommended for installing spring type clips.

• When installing coolant hoses, make sure they are free of stress and do not come into contact with other components (observe the marks on the coolant connections and hoses).

• Perform a cooling system leak test using cooling system tester (V.A.G 1274), adapter (V.A.G 1274/8) and adapter (V.A.G 1274/9).
