Cooling System: Description and Operation

Water quality











General information

Water that does not meet the requirements of the specification can cause corrosion and deposits in the cooling system.

As an alternative, distilled water (battery water) can be used.

Mixing ratio

- 50% water
- 50% Volvo coolant, concentrated

If in doubt about the water meeting the specification requirements, use Volvo ready-mixed coolant instead.

Cleaning

When changing coolant or components, ensure that the system is flushed clean with water that meets the specification requirements.

Alternatively, Volvo ready-mixed coolant can be used.
