Drive Belts
The belt drive has two components and is subdivided into the main and A/C drives. Both
belts are driven by the crankshaft pulley.
A 4 rib belt is used to drive the air conditioning compressor and a 6 rib belt is used for the
main drive. Each drive belt has a maintenance free tensioning unit with tensioning pulley
and torsioner.

Coolant Circuit
The coolant flow has been optimized allowing the engine to warm up as quickly as possi-
ble after a cold start as well as even and sufficient engine cooling while the engine is run-
ning. The cylinder heads are supplied with coolant in a cross-flow pattern. This ensures
more even temperature distribution to all cylinders. The cooling system ventilation has been
improved and is enhanced by using ventilation ports in the cylinder heads and in the radi-
ator. The air in the cooling system accumulates in the expansion tank. When a pressure of
2 bar is reached in the expansion tank, the air is bled out by the pressure relief valve in the
reservoir cap.

The ventilation ports in the front of the cylinder heads provide quicker “self bleeding”
during a routine coolant exchange. The complex cooling system and the small ventilation
ports require that time should be allowed after the cooling system has been filled for the air
to escape.
Coolant flow in the Engine Block
The coolant flows from the water pump through the feed pipe (1) in the engine's V and to
the rear of the engine block. This area has a cast aluminum cover (see following illustration).
From the rear of the engine, the coolant flows to the external cylinder walls and from there
into the cylinder heads.
The coolant then flows from the cylinder heads into the engine block V and through the
return connection (3) to the thermostat housing. When the coolant is cold it flows from the
thermostat (closed) directly into the water pump and back to the engine (recirculating for
faster warm up).
When the engine reaches operating tempera-
ture (85 ºC-110 ºC), the thermostat opens the
entire cooling circuit to include the radiator.

The coolant flows to the rear of the engine block, from there through the side channels to
the cylinder walls and then into the cylinder heads (lower left picture). The cast aluminum
cover at the rear of the engine block (with sealing bead) is shown on the lower right.
Water Pump/Thermostat Housing
The water pump is combined with the thermostat housing and is bolted to the timing case
lower section.

Leakage Restraint System in the Water Pump
The water pump has a leakage restraint system for the functional leakage from the pump
shaft piston ring type seal. The coolant which escapes through the pump shaft sliding ring
seal usually accumulates and evaporates through a hold in the leakage chamber (evapora-
tion area).
If the sliding ring seal is faulty, the leakage chamber fills
completely with coolant. Sliding ring seal leakages can
be detected by monitoring the fluid level in the leakage
chamber (inspection hole).

In the past, fully functional water pumps were often replaced because the functional
sliding ring seal leakage which is necessary for water pump operation resulted in evapora-
tion residues being left on the external walls of the water pump.
The leakage restraint system has the advantage in that the coolant escaping from the slid-
ing ring seal (normal, functional leakage) evaporates without a trace and cannot be mis-
takenly identified as a water pump defect during visual inspections.

Cooling Radiator
The radiator is made from aluminum and is divided into a high-temperature section and a
low-temperature section by a partition wall (see coolant circuit diagram). The coolant first
flows into the high-temperature section and then back to the engine, cooled.
Some of the coolant flows through an opening in the radiator partition wall to the low-tem-
perature section where it is cooled further. The coolant then flows from the low-tempera-
ture section (when the ÖWT thermostat is open) into the oil/coolant heat exchanger.
Coolant Expansion Tank
The expansion tank is mounted on the right hand wheel housing (engine compartment).
N No

e:

The expansion tank should never be filled above the Max marking. Excess coolant is
expelled by the pressure relief valve in the cap as it heats up. Avoid overfilling the expan-
sion tank because the cooling circuit design ensures very good “self bleeding”.

Transmission Oil/Coolant Heat Exchanger
The transmission oil/coolant heat exchanger ensures that the transmission oil is heated up
quickly and also that it is appropriately cooled. When the engine is cold, the transmission
oil/coolant heat exchanger thermostat switches into the engine's recirculated coolant cir-
cuit. This allows the transmission oil to heat up as quickly as possible (with the engine
coolant).
When the return flow water temperature reaches 82 ºC, the thermostat switches the trans-
mission oil/coolant heat exchanger to the low-temperature coolant radiator circuit (refer to
the cooling circuit diagram) to cool the transmission oil.
Electrically Operated Fan
The electric fan is integrated in the cooling module and is mounted directly in front of the
radiator. The speed is regulated by the ECM.
Viscous Coupling Fan
The viscous coupling fan is driven by the water pump. The noise output and the perfor-
mance of the fan coupling and the fan wheel have been optimized as compared with the
E38M62. The viscous coupling fan is used as the final level of cooling and switches on at
an air temperature of 92 ºC.
