– Fit cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274 B- with adapter -
V.A.G 1274/8- to coolant expansion tank.
– Build up pressure of approx. 1.0 bar using hand pump of cool‐
ing system tester.
– Observe coolant level in expansion tank.
Caution
If there are no leaks in the cooling system, it is only permissible
for the coolant level to fall by a maximum of 25 mm. A consid‐
erably larger drop in the coolant level or evaporation of the
coolant from the expansion tank suggests that there is an air
bubble in the cooling system.
Coolant level OK:
– Perform road test until operating temperature of engine is
reached.
– Check coolant level again.
Coolant level drops considerably:
– Drain cooling system ⇒ page 155 .
– Repeat cooling system filling process ⇒ page 158
– Check coolant for air bubbles ⇒ page 161
