THERMOSTAT
The thermostat is a single action type. The
thermostat is located on the top of cylinder
head, on intake side.
Remove: thermostat housing screws and
pull thermostat cover
1.Thermostat cover
2.Screws
thermostat with gasket out of the hole.
Thermostat Test
To check thermostat, put in water and heat
water.
Thermostat should open when water
temperature reaches 65℃(149°F).
Check if the gasket is brittle, hard or
damaged. If so replace gasket.
Thermostat Installation
For installation, reverse the removal
procedure, pay attention to the following
details.
Install the thermostat cover then torque
screws to 6N.m.
Check coolant level in radiator and coolant
tank and top up if necessary.
Do not forget to bleed the cooling system.
Refer to COOLANTREPLACEMENT.
RADIATOR AND CAP
Using a pressure cap tester, check the
efficiency of radiator cap. If the efficiency is
feeble, install a new 100 kPa cap (do not
exceed this pressure).
Radiator Inspection
Check radiating fins for clogging or
damage.
Remove insects, mud or other obstructions
with compressed air or low pressure water.
Radiator Removal
Drain cooling system.
Remove front fascia and radiator shroud.
Remove:
Radiator inlet and radiator outlet hoses.
Overflow hose.
Remove radiator.
Radiator Installation
For installation, reverse the removal
procedure.
Pay attention to the following detail.
Fill up the radiator. Refer to COOLANT
REPLACEMENT, in this section.
Check for any coolant leakage from radiator
and hoses.
COOLANT TANK
The coolant expands as the temperature
(up to 100-110℃) and pressure rise in the
system. If the limiting system working
pressure cap is reached 110kPa, the
pressure relief valve in the pressure cap is
lifted from its seat and allows coolant to
