2012 SSANGYONG KORANDO radiator

01-230000-00
Coolant outlet port
Coolant temperature sensor
Measures the coolant temperature
and sends the result to the engine
ECU.
Radiator assembly
Releases heat through fins and cools down the
hot coolant as the coolant passes through the
tube of the radiator core.FAN
Circulates the fresh air forcibly to
exchange heat with the radiator core fin.

Engine and accessories ▶
Engine has a lot of precise components. The specified tightening torque and correct procedures should
be kept during service works. And, the working area is always clean and well prepared.
When disassembling the engine, related parts (bolts, gaskets, etc.) should be stored as a set.
Carefully read the disassembly and reassembly procedures in this manual before starting the
works.
Clean the components completely with engine oil before assembling if needed.
Fully drain the engine oil, coolant and fuel from the vehicle and seal the inlets with the plugs before
removing the engine.
All the interference should be eliminated before removing the engine. -

-
Tightening the fastener ▶
When reassembling the parts to G20DF, use the angle tightening as a final step.
1. Clean the mating surfaces before tightening.
2. Place the marks with paint to tighten by angle if the angle wrench is not available.Exhaust system ▶
Wear the protective gloves before removing the exhaust pipe.
The exhaust pipe is very hot immediately after stopping th engine. Check if the exhaust pipe is fully
cooled down before servicing the exhaust system. -
-
Cooling system ▶
Scalding hot coolant and steam could be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious
injury. Never remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine and the radiator are hot. -
The position and direction of the componets is based on the rear view.
Do not tighten the fasteners with excessive force. Especially, the threads of cylinder block could be
damaged.
The self screw bolt makes the thread itself when tightening it. Do not apply excessive force.
Do not reuse the bolt that has been tightened with angle tightening method.

1) Coolant Level Check
Park the vehicle on level ground and apply the parking brake. Stop the engine and wait until it is
cooled down. The coolant level should be between the MAX and MIN mark on the coolant reservoir.
If the coolant level is below the “MIN” mark, immediately add coolant. A.

Scalding hot coolant and steam could be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious
injury. Never remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine and radiator are hot.
Avoid any direct contact of the coolant to the painted body of the vehicle. -

3. CAUTIONS
If 100% of anti-freeze is added, the water pump vane can be damaged and thermal conductivity can
be decreased resulting in poor circulation in the cooling system which leads to overheated engine.
Use of non-recommended coolant could cause damage to the cooling system and overheating of the
engine.
Opening the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot can cause burns by hot steam o
r
water.
To open the coolant reservoir cap, wrap the cap with a wet towel or thick cloth after the engine is
cooled down sufficiently.
If cool water is added to the heated engine, the engine or radiator can be deformed.
The anti-freeze in the coolant can damage the painted surface, so avoid the contact of the coolant to
the painted body.
The anti-freeze and water should be mixed in proper mixture ratio. Never add only water when
adding coolant.
If the anti-freeze content is too low, the coolant can be frozen while the engine can be overheated if
anti-freeze content is too high. -

Water pump
The water pump is driven by the engine drive belt and supplies
the coolant to each area of the engine.
Coolant reservoir
Thermostat
When the engine coolant
reaches 90℃, the thermostat
starts to open (fully open at
100℃) and lets the coolant
flow to the radiator to maintain
the engine temperature.
1. OVERVIEW
The coolant system is to keep the engine temperature stable.
