1. A wide range of engine failures associated with dysfunction of the cooling system. On models equipped with the AT, the system also provides cooling of the ATF, thereby maintaining the most favorable conditions for the transmission.
2. Check the status of the components of the cooling system must be carried out after the complete cooling of the power unit (not less than three hours after stopping the engine).  | In no case do not remove the radiator filler cap when the engine is hot! |
3. Remove the cap from the radiator, which first turn to the left to the first stop. If you hear a hissing sound, indicating the excess pressure in the system, wait for it to cease, then press the lid, palm down and continue to turn to the left to complete liberation. Thoroughly rinse the lid inside and out with fresh water. Also flush the radiator filler neck. The cleaning surface must be completely removed all traces of corrosion. Located in the coolant should be relatively transparent. If the liquid is painted in the color of rust, the system must be rinsed and filled with fresh mixture (see. Section Maintenance of the cooling system (emptying, washing and refueling)). If the fluid level does not reach the top, top up the radiator a little mixture of the desired composition (see. Section Check of levels of liquids).  | 4. Carefully inspect the upper and lower radiator hoses and hose interior heating system having a smaller diameter and located between the power unit and engine compartment bulkhead. Check the hoses along their entire length, and in case of detection of cracks, swellings and signs of aging material Replace defective components. Small cracks are usually easier to see when the compression of the hose. Regardless of the condition of the hoses should be replaced approximately every two years. |
5. Check the fastening of all hoses on the unions / nozzles. Coolant leaks usually occur in the form of streaks or white rust on the surrounding surfaces of the source. If the hoses are fixed to the fittings / nozzles clamps the pitch type, the last reasonable to replace more reliable worm or screw.
6. Blowing with compressed air or with a soft brush, remove the gaps between the plates of the heat exchanger radiator old leaves, the remains of insects and other debris. Try not to damage the soft plate heat exchanger and not to cut their sharp edges of the fingers.
7. Every second check, and at the first sign of dysfunction cooling systems produce pressure test radiator cap. If the hand is not the right equipment will, contact a workshop. |
