How to drain cooling circuit:
Before you drain the coolant from the
cooling circuit let the engine run for 5
minutes for the liquid temperature to
reach 82°C (180°F).
Do not open overpressure plug before
coolant temperature drops below 50 °C
(122 °F). If you open overpressure plug
the liquid may splash out causing scald.
Stop the engine.
Open the cooling system by removing the overpressure •
plug (1) on the expansion tank.
