MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
ON–VEHICLE SERVICE
DRAINING AND REFILLING THE
COOLING SYSTEM
CAUTION : Do not remove the surge tank cap while
the engine and the radiator are hot. Scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under pressure.
1. Place a pan below the vehicle to catch the draining
coolant.
2. Remove the surge tank cap.
3. Unplug the drain cock.
CAUTION : Dispose of the used coolant to a used
coolant holding tank to be picked up with the used oil
for disposal. Never pour the used coolant down the
drain. Ethylene glycol antifreeze is an extremely toxic
chemical. Disposing of it into the sewer system or the
ground water can contaminate the local environment.
4. Catch the escaping fluid in a drain pan.
5. Remove all sludge and dirt from inside the surge
tank. Refer to ”Surge Tank” in this section.
6. Plug the drain cock.
7. Add the clean water to the surge tank.
8. Fill the tank slowly so that the upper reservoir hose
remains above the water line. This allows the air
inside the cooling system to escape.
9. Start the engine.
10. Run the engine until the thermostat opens. You can
tell the thermostat is open when both radiator
hoses are hot to the touch.
11. Stop the engine.
12. Repeat Steps 1 through 9 until the drained water is
clear and free of coolant and rust.
Notice : Never use an antifreeze mixture more concen-
trated than 60 percent antifreeze to 40 percent water. The
solution freezing point increases above this concentration.
13. Fill the cooling system through the surge tank with
a mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water.
The mixture must be at least 50 percent antifreeze,
but not more than 60 percent antifreeze.
14. Fill the surge tank to the specified MAX fill mark on
the outside of the tank.

THERMOSTAT (1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
Removal Procedure
CAUTION : To prevent personal injury, do not remove
the surge tank cap while the engine and the radiator

the Cooling System” in this section.
2. Loosen the hose clamp on the upper radiator hose
at the thermostat housing.
3. Disconnect the upper radiator hose from the ther-
mostat housing.
4. Loosen the clamp on the bypass hose.
5. Disconnect the bypass hose from the thermostat
housing.
6. Remove the mounting bolts that hold the thermo-
stat housing to the cylinder head.
7. Remove the thermostat housing from the head.
8. Remove the O–ring seal from the head.
9. Check the valve seat for foreign matter that could
prevent the valve from seating properly.
10. Check the thermostat for proper operation. Refer to
”Thermostat Test” in this section.
11. Clean the thermostat housing and the cylinder head
mating surfaces.
Installation Procedure
1. Coat the sealing surface of a new O–ring seal with
Lubriplater®.
2. Install a new O–ring seal into the recess in the cyl-
inder head.
3. Secure the thermostat housing to the cylinder head
with the mounting bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the thermostat housing mounting bolts to 20
NSm (15 lb–ft).

housing.
5. Secure the upper radiator hose to the thermostat
housing with a hose clamp.
6. Connect the bypass hose to the thermostat hous-
ing.
7. Secure the bypass hose with a hose clamp.
8. Refill the engine cooling system. Refer to ”Draining
and Refilling the Cooling System” in this section.
THERMOSTAT (1.8L DOHC)
Removal Procedure
CAUTION : To prevent personal injury, do not remove
the surge tank cap while the engine and the radiator
are hot because the heat causes the system to remain
under pressure. Scalding fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure.

2. Loosen the hose clamp on the upper radiator hose
at the thermostat housing.
3. Disconnect the upper radiator hose from the ther-
mostat housing.
4. Remove the mounting bolts that hold the thermo-
stat housing to the cylinder head.
5. Remove the thermostat housing from the cylinder
head.
6. Remove the seal ring from the thermostat housing.
7. Remove the thermostat from the thermostat hous-
ing by pressing the thermostat mounting flange
downward and then rotating the flange clockwise.
8. Inspect the valve seat for foreign matter that could
prevent the valve from sealing properly.
9. Inspect the thermostat for proper operation. Refer
to ”Thermostat Test” in this section.
10. Clean the thermostat housing and the cylinder head
mating surfaces.

DAEWOO V–121 BL4
Installation Procedure
1. Install the thermostat into the thermostat housing
by pressing the thermostat mounting flange down-
ward and then rotating the flange counterclockwise.
Rotate the thermostat mounting flange until it is
seated in the thermostat housing recesses.
2. Coat the sealing surface of a new seal ring with
Lubriplater®.
3. Install a new seal ring into the recess in the thermo-
stat housing.
4. Install the thermostat housing to the cylinder head.
5. Secure the thermostat housing to the cylinder head

ELECTRIC COOLING FAN – MAIN OR
AUXILIARY
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the cooling fan electrical connector.
3. Remove the fan shroud mounting bolts.
4. Lift the fan shroud assembly upward, and remove
the fan shroud assembly from the vehicle.
5. Remove the fan blade from the fan shroud assem-
bly by removing the nut at the center of the fan hub.
6. Turn over the fan shroud assembly.
7. Remove the fan motor retaining screws.
8. Remove the fan motor from the shroud.
Installation Procedure
CAUTION : If a fan blade is bent or damaged in any
way, no attempt should be made to repair or reuse the
damaged part. A bent or damaged fan assembly must
be replaced with a new fan assembly. It is essential
that fan assemblies remain in proper balance. A fan
assembly that is not in proper balance can fail and fly
apart during use, creating extreme danger. Proper
balance cannot be assured on a fan assembly that
has been bent or damaged.
