ENGINE COOLANT LEAK CHECKM1141001000300
WARNING
When pressure testing the cooling system,
slowly release cooling system pressure to
avoid getting burned by hot coolant.
CAUTION
•Be sure to completely clean away any mois-
ture from the places checked.
•When the tester is taken out, be careful not to
spill any coolant.

Be careful when installing and removing the
tester and when testing not to deform the
filler neck of the radiator.
1. Check that the coolant leve l is up to the filler neck.
Install a radiator tester and apply 160 kPa
pressure, and then check for leakage from the
radiator hose or connections.
2. If there is leakage, repair or replace the
appropriate part.

NOTE: Be sure that the cap is clean before test-
ing. Rust or other foreign material on the cap seal
will cause an improper reading.
AC211643AB
Cap adapter
1. Use a cap adapter to attach the cap to the tester.
2. Increase the pressure until the indicator of the gauge stops moving.
Minimum limit: 83 kPa
Standard value: 93 − 123 kPa
3. Replace the radiator cap if the reading does not remain at or above the limit.

WARNING
When removing the radiator cap, use care to
avoid contact with hot coolant or steam.
Place a shop towel over the cap and turn the
cap counterclockwise a little to let the pres
-
sure escape through the vinyl tube. After
relieving the steam pres sure, remove the cap
by slowly turning it counterclockwise.
1. Drain the water from the radiator, heater core and
engine after unplugging the radiator drain plug
and removing the radiator cap.

CAUTION
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze or any
engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol
anti-freeze. The use of an improper anti-freeze
can cause corrosion of the aluminium compo

8. By referring to the section on coolant, select an
appropriate concentration for safe operating
temperature within the range of 30 to 60%. Use
special tool LLC changer (MB991871) to refill the
coolant. A convenient mixture is a 50% water and
50% antifreeze solution (freezing point:
−31°C).
Recommended antifreeze: DIAQUEEN SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT or equivalent
Quantity:
5.0 L <4G1>
7.0 L <4G6>
NOTE: For how to use special tool MB991871,
refer to its manufacturer’s instructions.
9. Reinstall the radiator cap.
10.Start the engine and let it warm up until the thermostat opens.
11.After repeatedly revving the engine up to 3,000 r/min several times, then stop the engine.
12.Remove the radiator cap after the engine has become cold, and pour in coolant up to the brim.
Reinstall the cap.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the radiator condenser tank.
13.Add coolant to the radiator condenser tank between the "F" and "L" mark if necessary.
CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENT
M1141001100352
Measure the temperature and specific gravity of the
engine coolant to check the antifreeze concentration.
Standard value: 30 − 60% (allowable concentra-
tion range)
Recommended antifreeze: DIAQUEEN SUPER
LONG LIFE COOLANT or equivalent
CAUTION
If the concentration of the anti-freeze is below
30%, the anti-corrosion property will be
adversely affected. In addition, if the concentra
-
tion is above 60%, both the anti-freezing and
engine cooling properties will decrease, affecting
the engine adversely. For these reasons, be sure
to maintain the concentration level within the
specified range.
