- Rotate the catch on the thermostat housing pipe anticlockwise, detach the hose and drain the remaining coolant.
- Cut off the hose using a sharp knife in accordance with the measurements. Make the incision as straight as possible. The short hose-end that was cut off shall be used again.
Hint: Install a piece of tape over the cutting location and mark with a pen where the incision should be. Reinstall the hose connection in the pipe in order to support the cutting process.
Note! Do not damage the adjacent cable harnesses.
- Cut out the short cut-off hose section as illustrated.
- Discard the cut-off hose bend.
- Remove the short hose-end and press it on the pipe that runs to the thermostat housing. Make sure that the cut-out in the hose connection is turned down and fits into the corresponding pin in the pipe connection.
