Inspecting and replenishing220

Inspecting the coolant level

The coolant expansion bottle is located in the engine compartment on the right.

– Switch the engine off.

– Open the bonnet  page 216, “Working in the engine compartment”.

– Check the level of coolant in the coolant expansion bottle  fig. 184. The coolant

level when the engine is cold must lie between the (MIN) and (MAX) mark-

ings. The level may also rise slightly above the (MAX) marking when the engine

is warm.

If the coolant level in the reservoir is too low, this is indicated by the warning light in

the instrument cluster   page 32. We nevertheless recommend inspecting the

coolant level directly at the reservoir from time to time.

Loss of coolant

A loss of coolant is first and foremost an indication of a leak in the system. You should

not merely top up the coolant in the reservoir. It is also important to have the cooling

system inspected without delay by a specialist garage.

Losses can only occur through the pressure relief in the cap of the coolant expansion

bottle which is completely free of leaks if the coolant boils as a result of overheating

and is forced out of the cooling system.

WARNING

Read and observe the warning notes  page 216, “Working in the engine

compartment” before working in the engine compartment.

Caution

One should contact a specialist garage as soon as possible if the source of overheating

itself cannot be determined and removed, since there may be grave damage to the

engine.

Replenishing the coolant

– Switch the engine off.

– Allow the engine to cool down.

– Place a cloth over the cap of the coolant expansion reservoir  fig. 184 and

unscrew the cap carefully by turning it to the left  .

–Top up the coolant.

– Screw the cap tight until it is heard to lock.

The coolant which you use for replenishing the system, must comply with one specific

specification  page 219, “Coolant”. Do not use an alternative additive if the coolant

additive G13 is not available in exceptional cases. Just top up the system with water

and as soon as possible arrange adjustment to correct the mixing ratio of water and

coolant additive again by a specialist garage.

Only use fresh coolant for topping up the system.

Do not fill up over the “MAX” marking! Excess coolant which is heated up is forced out

of the cooling system through the pressure relief valve in the cap of the coolant

compensation bottle.

Wait until the engine has cooled down for a system which has suffered a major loss of

coolant before pouring in coolant. This is necessary to avoid engine damage.

WARNING

 The cooling system is pressurized! Do not open the cap of the coolant

expansion bottle if the engine is still hot - risk of scalding!

 The coolant additive and thus all of the coolant is harmful to your health.

Avoid contact with the coolant. Coolant vapours are also harmful to the health.

It is important, therefore, to always safely store any coolant additive in its orig-

inal container out of the reach of children - risk of poisoning!
