Description of the design of the cooling system The engine cooling system is liquid, closed type with forced circulation of the coolant and an expansion tank. The engine cooling system uses special liquids based on a mixture of water and ethylene...
Checking the technical condition of the cooling system When operating a car, the condition of the cooling system can be assessed by the coolant temperature gauge and the liquid level in the expansion tank. A low coolant level is usually caused by a leak...
Coolant — replacement We replace the coolant after 75,000 km of run, or after five years, whichever comes first. To perform the work, you will need a wide container with a volume of at least 8 liters. It is more...
Expansion tank — removal and installation Removing 1. Partially drain the coolant (see « Coolant - replacement »). 2. Disconnect the terminal from the negative, and then from the positive terminal of the battery (see « Battery - removal and...
Thermostat — removal, replacement and installation The thermostat is collapsible - the parts of the thermostat housing are connected by bolts, so if necessary, only the thermostat actuator can be replaced (thermocouple with valves). Replacement 1....
Coolant pump — replacement Removing 1. Drain the coolant (see « Coolant - replacement »). 2. Remove the rear timing belt cover (see « Camshafts - removal and installation »). 3. With a 5 mm hex wrench, unscrew the three bolts...
Additional fan electric resistor — check and replace You will need a multimeter to do the job. It is more convenient to perform work on a viewing ditch or overpass. Removal and inspection 1. We prepare the car for work (see « Preparing the car for...
Electric fan — removal, disassembly and installation To perform the work, an inspection ditch or overpass is required. Removing 1. We prepare the car for work (see « Preparing the car for maintenance and repair »). 2. Remove the air filter and its air...
Radiator of the engine cooling system — removal and installation To perform the work, an inspection ditch or overpass is required. Removing 1. Drain the coolant (see « Coolant - replacement »). 2. Remove the electric fan (see « Electric fan - removal, disassembly...
