Turn away a cover of a broad tank. If the engine is hot, wait a minute before removing the cover.
Disconnect the central (average) a hose from the liquid pump, as well as a lower hose from the nozzle that extends from the pump; pour the liquid into a container. In case of further use of the liquid, it should be saved.
To avoid air pockets during filling the system with coolant, proceed as follows:
- Set the heater control levers to position «warm».
- Connect all previously disconnected hoses.
- Expansion tank fill up to the mark «max» and put a plug on it.
- Start the engine and let it run at 2500 rpm until the radiator fan turns on.
- Check the coolant level and top up if the level is below the mark «min».
At the factory, the cooling system is filled with anti-freeze liquid, which must remain in the system for a year. For self-preparation of the cooling mixture, the following proportions between antifreeze and water must be observed. It is recommended to use the «G11», recommended by VW. Recommended proportions:
- for a freezing point of -25°C: 2.6 l of product and 3.9 l of water;
- for a freezing point of -35°C: 3.23 liters of product and 3.25 liters of water.
