N20.00-0376-04
Example calculation
Measured value: -20 °C antifreeze protection
Corresponds to an anticorrosion/antifreeze concentration (A) of 32 % by volume(see comparison table).
Total coolant filling quantity (B): 41 liters.
Calculated refill quantity (C):
10.85 liters of anticorrosion/antifreeze.
1 Enter the calculated anticorrosion/antifreeze concentration (A) in the calculation table.
2 Read the total coolant capacity (B) from the basic data table and enter it in the calculation table.
3 Calculate replenished quantity of anticorrosion/antifreeze agent (C)
4 Drain coolant at the cooling system drain screw corresponding to the calculated refill quantity of anticorrosion/antifreeze agent (C) .
5 Pour the calculated top-up quantity of anticorrosion/antifreeze agent (C) into the cooling system.
6 Start engine and run for about 1 minute at varying speeds.
