Cooling - Cooling syste2. Check engine coolant level in reservoir.Engine coolant level should be between “Low” and “Full” mark line.
Hint: if the level is too low, check there is leakage and refill coolant to “Full” mark line.3. Check engine coolant quality.(a) Remove radiator cap.
Warning: when the temperature of engine and radiator is high, do not remove radiator cap to
avoid being scalded, because coolant and steam will spurt under high pressure.
(b) Check there is too much rust deposit around radiator cap or at outlet and check there is flake; there
should not be oil in the coolant.
Hint: if coolant is too dirty, it is required to replace coolant.
(c) Install back radiator cap.Inspection1. Temperature regulatorHint: the figure on temperature regulator is the
opening temperature of valve.CoolingCooling systemOn-vehicle inspection1. Check there is leakage with cooling system.Warning: when the temperature of engine and radiator is
high, do not remove radiator cap to avoid be-
ing scalded, because coolant and steam will
spurt under high pressure.
(a) Refill coolant to radiator, and install radiator cap tester.
(b) Preheat engine.
(c) Pump tester to make pressure go up to 118KPa, and check
the pressure falls.
Hint: if the pressure falls, check there is leakage with
hose, radiator or water pump, and check heater,
cylinder body and cylinder head if no external leak-
age is found.66

Cooling - Cooling systeTemperatureDegree of valve opening(a) Immerse temperature regulator into water and heat
gradually.
(b) Check opening temperature of valve.
Opening temperature of valve: 8084Hint: if opening temperature of valve is not within
specified range, it is required to replace tempera-
ture regulator.
(c) Check opening of valve.
Opening of valve:2. Radiator cap assemblyNotes:If radiator is dirty, wash it with clean water.Before using radiator cap tester, dampen relief valve
and pressure valve with coolant or water.
(a) Use radiator cap tester to slowly pump radiator cap
tester, and check the air is released by vacuum valve.
Pumping speed: 1 time /(3 seconds or more)
Note: pump radiator tester with constant speed.
Hints:Pumping speed: 1 time /(3 seconds or more)If air could not be released by vacuum valve,
please replace radiator cap.
(b) Pump tester and check opening pressure of relief valve.
Standard opening pressure: 74-108KPa
Min. opening pressure: 59KPa
Note: pumping speed means that the speed could be increased after the first time pumping
speed (to close vacuum valve).
Hints:Pumping speed: 1 time within 1 secondMax. reading of tester is opening pressure.If opening pressure is less than min. value, please replace radiator cap. Hint: if degree of valve opening is not within speci-
fied range, it is required to replace tempera-
ture regulator.
(a) When temperature regulator is at low temperature (below), check valve is tightly closed.
Hint: if the valve could not be closed, it is required to
replace temperature regulator.67

8. Remove radiator together with electronic fan assembly [64000057].
9. Remove electronic fan together with fan cover assembly [64000060].(a) Screw off fixed nuts connecting electronic fan together with fan cover assembly with radiator.
(b) Uncouple fan motor joint.
(c) Remove 2 bolts of fan.
(d) Remove fan motor at the same time.10. Replace and install as sequences opposite to the above.
11. Refill engine coolant (see Page 73).
12. Check there is leakage with coolant (see Page 66).

CoolantReplacement1. Discharge engine coolant.Warning: when the temperature of engine and radiator is high, do not remove radiator cap to
avoid being scalded, because coolant and steam will spurt under high pressure.
(a) Remove radiator cap.
(b) Open radiator drain valve and engine drain valve.Cooling - Coolant2. Refill engine coolant.(a) Lock 2 drain valves and pour coolant into radiator until it is full.
Hints:Press radiator water inlet hose and outlet hose with hands several times.If coolant level is too low, please refill coolant again.
(b) Screw down radiator cap.
(c) Pour coolant into expansion tank until the level is up to “FULL” mark line.
(d) Run engine with vehicle warning up until thermostat valve is opened.
Hint:During vehicle warning up, press radiator water inlet hose and outlet hose with hands
several times.
(e) Engine flames out until coolant temperature falls to “cold”. Then open radiator cap and check coolant
level.

 234 
When upgrading compressor assembly, it is necessary to reclaim the refrigerant in system at first.
Refrigerant oil quantity added by new compressor should be calculated by following formula.
Refrigerant oil standard quantity of new compressor:
(Inner Refrigerant oil quantity of new compressor:60 ± 10ml)-(Inner discharged Refrigerant oil quantity
of old compressor)=(Refrigerant oil quantity consumed by the system when changing)
Note:
zWhen checking the Refrigerant oil quantity, please refer to the notes on page 206.
zFor there is some Refrigerant oil in automobile pipeline, if some Refrigerant oil is not discharged
when assembling new compressor, this will incur the Refrigerant oil in system is too much to make
the system heat exchange become bad and air conditioning become invalid.
