I - DRAINING
aPosition the vehicle on a two-post lift (see Vehicle:
Towing and lifting) (02A, Lifting equipment).
aRemove the expansion bottle cap.aRemove the engine undertray.
aPosition the coolant recovery tray under the vehi-
cle.
aRemove the cooling radiator bottom hose clip using
the tool (Mot. 1202-01) or (Mot. 1202-02) or (Mot.
1448).
aOpen the cooling system by removing the cooling ra-
diator bottom hose using the tool (Car. 1363).
aUse a compressed air nozzle to blow air into the
system through the expansion bottle opening to re-
move as much coolant as possible.
II - CLEANING
aFill the cooling system with water through the expan-
sion bottle.
aLet the water run until the water collected by the
cooling radiator bottom hose becomes clear.
aUse a compressed air nozzle to blow air into the
circuit through the expansion bottle opening to re-
move as much water as possible.
aRefit the hose which was removed.
III - FILLING
a
1 - Filling procedure with the tool (Mot. 1700)
aFill the cooling system with engine coolant recom-
mended by the manufacturer (see Vehicle: Parts
and consumables for the repair) (04B, Consum-
ables - Products) using the tool (Mot. 1700).
For the use of this tool (see Cooling system filling
and diagnostic tool: Use) (NT 3857A, 19A, Cool-
ing). Special tooling required
Mot. 1202-01Clip pliers for hose clips
(large size).
Mot. 1202-02Clip pliers for hose clips
(small size)
Mot. 1448Remote operation pliers for
hose clips .
Car. 1363Set of tr im removal levers.
Mot. 1700Fault finding and filling -
bleeding the cooling circuit.
Ms. 554-07Instr ument for testing the
cooling circuit and the expan-
sion bottle valve. Contains
caps 554-01, 554-04, 554-06
Equipment required
coolant recovery tray
compressed air nozzle
pedal press
IMPORTANT
When working in the engine compartment, take
care as the radiator fan(s) may start up unex-
pectedly (risk of being cut).
To avoid any risk of serious burns when the
engine is hot:
-do not open the expansion bottle cap,
-do not dr ain the cooling system,
-do not open the bleed screw(s).
WARNING
Before the operation, protect the electrical acces-
sories to prevent any risk of short circuiting and
protect the belts to avoid damaging them.
K4M
Note:
There are two procedures for filling the cooling
system:
-the method using the (Mot. 1700) tool is recom-
mended by Renault. It saves a considerable
amount of time because it does not require the
cooling system bleed screws to be opened,
-the procedure without a special tool.
