Cleaning the cooling system
Clean the cooling system more often than speci-
fied in the maintenance interval if necessary.
External cleaning: Cleaning the radiator
and charge air cooler
Do not use caustic soda or other alkaline deter-
gent as this could damage the aluminium.
Read the warning text on the detergent packag-
ing.
1. Check that the radiator and the charge air
cooler are not clogged on the air side and that
the discs are not damaged.
2. Carefully scrape away any deposits from the
radiator discs. Use a paraffin-based engine
cleaner if necessary.
3. Carefully straighten bent discs using a steel
brush or similar.
