Coolingsystem 73
Waming: if the engine is hot, there is a
iskofscalding.
Remove the hexagon bolt (19 mm
wench) at the right-hand rear end of the
mgine block.
Ttìe left rotary heater control on the facia
must previously be set to "WARM" (see
+OPEFÌATI NG INSTRUCTIONS").
Refilling the cooling system after drain-
ing:
Turn the left heater control to "WAFÌM"
and unscrew the cooling sy§tem bleed
screw in the thermostat housing. Slowly
add long-life antifreeze and corrosion
inhibitor mixed with water in a concen-
tration of 35°/o, via the overflow tank.
This will provide protection against freez-
ing at temperaturG down to -25°C
(-i3°F). Tighten the bleed screw as
soon as coolant emerges free from air
bubbles.
Seal the cooling system by screwing on
the filler cap as far as the second step.
Run the engine at approx. 2000-2500
rev/min until warm, then switch off.
After about 1 minute, restart the engine
and run at not less than 4000 rev/min for
30 seconds. Next, allow the engine to idle
and check that the heater is delivering
warm air.
AI[ow the engine to cool down until the
coolant thermometer needle is between
the two white marks. Add coolant until
the level is at the mark on the header
tank, then seal again by screwing on the
Cap.
Adding more water will dilute the con-
centration of the antif reeze and corrosion
inhibitor in the system, as liquid will be
lost via the overflow.
The windshield and headlight washer
systems can be prevented from freezing
by adding 40°/o domestic alcohol spirit
(1 liter for a 2.5 liter fluid reservoir); this
