COOLING SYSTEM, GENERAL INFORMATION 

WARNING:

When performing repair work, especially due to the confined conditions 
in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following: 

z

Route all types of lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, EVAP system, 
coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) as well as electrical 
wiring so that the original positions are restored.  

z

Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.  

NOTE:

z

When the engine is warm the cooling system is under pressure. If 
necessary release the pressure before beginning repair work.  

z

Hoses are secured with spring-type clamps. In cases of repair only use 
spring-type clamps.  

z

Assembly tool VAS 5024 or hose clip pliers V.A.G 1921 are recommended 
for installing spring-type clamps.
