• Adding water instead of coolant lowers the
antifreeze content. If, therefore, water is
used instead of coolant, check, and if nec-
essary, adjust the antifreeze concentration.
• Use only distilled water. However, if dis-
tilled water is not available, soft water may
be used.
4. Start the engine, warm this up for 3 minutes,
and then stop it.
5. Check:
• Coolant level
Before checking the coolant level, wait a few
minutes until the coolant has settled.
