CAUTION
■
Other coolant additives that do not comply with the correct specifications can
above all significantly reduce the anticorrosion effect.
■
Any faults resulting from corrosion may cause a loss of coolant and can conse-
quently result in major engine damage!
Note
On vehicles that are fitted with an auxiliary heater (auxiliary heating and ventila-
tion), the coolant capacity is approx. 1 l larger.
Checking the coolant level
Fig. 162
Engine compartment: Coolant
expansion reservoir
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 183.
The coolant expansion bottle is located in the engine compartment.
›
Switch off the engine.
ä
›
Open the bonnet » page 184.
›
Check the level of coolant in the coolant expansion bottle. » Fig. 162. When the
engine is cold, the coolant level must be between the
b
(MIN) and
a
(MAX)
markings. The level may also rise slightly above the
a
(MAX) marking when the
engine is warm.
If the coolant level in the expansion bottle is too low, this is indicated by the indi-
cator light in the instrument cluster » page 27. We still recommend inspecting
the coolant level directly at the reservoir from time to time.
Loss of coolant
A loss of coolant is first and foremost an indication of a leak in the system. Do
not merely top up the coolant. Have the cooling system checked by a specialist
garage immediately.
CAUTION
If a fault causes the engine to overheat, we recommend visiting a ŠKODA Service
Partner immediately, otherwise serious engine damage may occur.
Replenishing the coolant
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 183.
›
Switch off the engine.
›
Allow the engine to cool.
›
Place a cloth over the cap of the coolant expansion reservoir » Fig. 162 and un-
screw the cap carefully.
›
Replenish the coolant.
›
Turn the cap until it clicks into place.
Do not use an alternative additive if the specified coolant is not available in an
emergency. In this case, just use water and have the correct mixing ratio of water
and the coolant additive restored by a specialist garage as soon as possible.
Only use new coolant to top up the system.
Do not fill the coolant above the mark
a
(max.) » Fig. 162! Excess coolant heats
up and then is forced out of the cooling system through the pressure relief valve
in the cap.
