1999 NISSAN PRIMERA engine coolant

Air relief plug:
:8-9N·m (0.8 - 0.9 kg-m, 5.9 - 6.6 ft-lb)

Use genuine NISSAN Anti-Freeze Coolant or equivalent.
Refer to“RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS”,
MA-16.
Coolant capacity (With reservoir tank):
Unit:
(Imp qt)
CD20T6.1 (5-3/8)
8. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to specified level.
9. Start engine without installing radiator cap and warm it up at
2,000 rpm until radiator lower hose becomes hot.

If coolant level becomes low, refill coolant until coolant level
does not change.

If coolant overflows radiator filler hole, install filler cap.
10. Run engine at 2,500 prm for 10 seconds and return to idle
speed.

Repeat 2 or 3 times.
Watch coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the
engine.
11. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.

If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck.
12. Refill reservoir tank to Max line with coolant.
13. Repeat steps 9 through 12 two or more times with radiator
cap installed until coolant level no longer drops.
14. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
15. Warm up engine, and check for sound of coolant flow while
running engine from idle up to 3,000 rpm with heater tem-
perature control lever set at several positions between COOL
and HOT.

Sound may be noticeable at heater water cock.
16. If the sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by
repeating steps 9 through 12 until coolant level no longer
drops.
—FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM—
1. Open air relief plug.
2. Fill radiator with water until water spills from the air relief
hole, then close air relief plug.

Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radia-
tor cap.
3. Run engine and warm it up sufficiently.
4. Rev engine 2 or 3 times under no-load.

Make sure that blower is“OFF”.
5. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
6. Drain water.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 until clear water begins to drain
from radiator.

Checking Cooling System
CHECKING HOSES
Check hoses for proper attachment and for leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
CHECKING RADIATOR
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator
as follows.

Be careful not to bend or damage the radiator fins.

When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all sur-
rounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator shroud and
horns. Then tape the harness and connectors to prevent
water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core
vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surfaces once per
minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from the radia-
tor.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically down-
ward.

Use compressed air lower than 5 kg/cm2and keep distance
more than 30 cm (11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per
minute until no water sprays out.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Apply pressure to radiator cap with cap tester to see if it is sat-
isfactory.
Radiator cap relief pressure:
Standard
98 - 118 kPa
(0.98 - 1.18 bar, 1.0 - 1.2 kg/cm
2, 14 - 17 psi)
Limit
59 - 118 kPa
(0.59 - 1.18 bar, 0.6 - 1.2 kg/cm
2,9-17psi)

When installing radiator cap to the tester, apply water or
coolant to the radiator cap seal.SLC613 EG17650301

Precautions
lWhen installing each rubber part, final tightening must
be carried out under unladen condition* with tires on
ground.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire,
jack, hand tools and mats in designated positions.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake
tubes.
lAfter installing removed suspension parts, check wheel
alignment.
lDo not jack up at the trailing arm and lateral link.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.
