Notes on coolant

AH20.00-N-2080-01A

Flush without a cleaner

1

Start engine and warm up to operating temperature.

 Coolant temperature approx. 80 °C.

2

Switch off engine and allow to cool down for approx. 30 min.

 So that any oil present settles in the expansion reservoir.

3

Check whether there is oil in expansion reservoir.

If oil is located in expansion reservoir



Suction coolant/oil mixture from the coolant expansion reservoir and dispose of it in an environmentally way.

4

Drain off coolant completely.

5

Remove expansion reservoir.

6

Disconnect feed and return hoses of heating.

7

Flush heating with fresh water.

 If possible use hot or warm water. Dispose of rinsing water in an environmentally friendly way.

8

Reconnect feed and return hoses of heating.

9

Disconnect coolant hoses at interfaces between engine and cooler.

10

Flush engine and cooler with fresh water.

 If possible use hot or warm water. Dispose of rinsing water in an environmentally friendly way.

11

Attach coolant hoses to interfaces between engine and cooler.

Remove oil

12

Mix a 3% cleaning solution consisting of a mildly alkaline cleaner and fresh water.


Mix cleaning solution outside of engine cooling system.
Filling in cleaner directly damages parts of engine cooling system.

 Mixing ratio: 30 ml cleaner to 1 l fresh water. Dispose of cleaning solution in an environmentally acceptable manner.

13

Flush expansion reservoir with 3% cleaning solution.

14

Install expansion reservoir.

15

Fill engine cooling system with 3% cleaning solution.

16

Set heating to max. heating output.

17

Start engine, warm up engine to a coolant temperature of 87 °C and maintain for approx. 5 min at this coolant temperature.

 Cover front of cooler to achieve coolant temperature of 87°C, if necessary.

18

Switch off engine and allow to cool down to a coolant temperature of approx. 50 °C.

19

Fully drain cleaning solution out of engine cooling system.


Flush engine cooling system at least 2 times with fresh water immediately after de-oiling.
Residual quantities of cleaning solution damage parts of engine cooling system.

 Dispose of cleaning solution in an environmentally acceptable manner.

Flush after deoiling

20

Rinse heater, engine and cooler with fresh water.

 To flush with fresh water, perform operation steps 6 to 11.
Dispose of rinsing water in an environmentally friendly way.

21

Fill and rinse engine cooling system at least twice with fresh water.


Fill engine cooling system with coolant immediately after last flushing process.
Water in the engine cooling system leads to corrosion.

 Allow engine to run for approx. 5 min during each rinsing process.

22

Check flushing water of last flushing process for oil drag-in.

If oil is still present in rinsing water,



repeat deoiling; perform work from operation step 12 for this purpose.

23

Check rinsing water of last rinsing process for acid content with an oil test strip.

 The test strips are obtainable in the EPC and display the pH value.

If flushing water of last flushing process is not pH neutral



Repeat engine cooling system flushing with fresh water once.


Fill engine cooling system with coolant immediately after last flushing process.
Residual quantities of flushing water lead to corrosion on parts of engine cooling system.

24

Fill in coolant.
