OPERATIONS ON COOLING SYSTEM
Caution!
Before working with the cooling system, be sure to confirm that
the temperature of the engine is cooled down.
Failure to observe this may cause burn.








Cooling System, Check for Leaks
Installation
1. Install commercially available coolant checking
instrument onto compensation tank (Refer to section 6B;
Engine cooling).
2. Check coolant level.

Inspection
Use 5-8840-0277-0 tester & 5-8840-2603-0 adaptor.




Cooling System, Fill Up and Bleed
Important!
Radiator and heater core are made from alminium.
To avoid corrosion, use only anti-freeze with corrosion
protection.


Replace Coolant
1. Confirm the engine is cold enough.
2. Open the radiator cap, pour coolant to the filler neck level
and close the cap.
3. Pour coolant into the reservoir until MAX line is reached.
4. Start the engine, run 2 
3 minutes at idling speed and
switch off the engine.
5. Refill coolant if the coolant level is lowered.

6A-64 ENGINE MECHANICAL (C24SE)
Important!
Do not loosen or open the radiator cap when coolant is hot.
Doing so may cause hot water or steam to splash out, resulting
in burn. When opening the radiator cap, be sure to confirm the
coolant is cold. Cover a thick cloth over the cap and loosen it
slowly to reduce pressure, then open the cap.
6. Close the radiator cap firmly and run the engine at
approx. 2000 rpm. In addition, set the heater temperature
adjuster to the max position to circulate coolant in the
heater conduit system.
7. Confirm that the temperature gauge reads half or more
of full scale and that the thermostat is activated.
Then continue idling 5 minutes more and switch off the
engine, and allow it to cool.
8. After the engine cools down, check the coolant level and
refill it if necessary. When the level is lowered extremely,
check the coolant conduit system and reservoir hose for
leak.
9. Pour coolant into the reservoir to MAX level.







Refill Coolant
Important!
After closing the cooling system, let engine run warm until
thermostat opens (coolant approx. 92C/197.6F)

Inspection
Coolant level
Allow engine to cool. If necessary, refill coolant.

Check that cooling system self-bleeds during engine warming-
up phase.

The Cooling System is a pressurized type, where the water
pump, which is cambelt driven, forces the circulation of
the coolant through the cylinder block and head. The
thermostat regulates the flow of coolant between the
radiator and the bypass circuit. The heater is part of the
bypass circuit. The throttle body pre-heat is a separate
circuit which is not regulated by the thermostat. An oil
cooler may be fitted as part of this circuit.
