INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Perform the following :a. Adjust the shift cable.
b. Refill the engine with engine oil.
c. Refill the transaxle with fluid.
d. Refill the radiator with engine coolant.
e. Bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open.
f. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper assemble them, then apply grease to prevent
corrosion.
g. Inspect for fuel leakage.
After assembling the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for
approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.

Cooling system

4.Disconnect the ECT(Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor connector.
5. Remove the coolant hose related to the heater hoses and the ECT(Engine Coolant Temperature) system.
6. Remove wiring protector.
7. Remove water temperature control assembly(A) and the gaskets(B).
8.Remove the water pipe(A).
THERMOSTAT
Removal of the thermostat would have an adverse effect, causing a lowering of cooling efficiency. Do not remove
the thermostat, even if the engine tends to overheat.
1. Drain engine coolant so its level is below thermostat.
2. Remove the coolant inlet pitting(A) and the thermostat(B).

7.Remove the radiator bracket(A, B) and the bleeder hose(C).
LH
RH
8.Separate the condenser from the radiator assembly by removing the bolts.
9. Remove the radiator assembly.
