Removing

Installing
Installation is the reverse of removal, noting the following: - Counterhold pulley for viscous fan using 3212 spanner wrench and
remove viscous fan using 3312 open-end spanner (left thread).
- Carefully lift out viscous fan.Tightening torque for viscous fan
Nm
1331 torque wrench and 3312 open-end spanner 37 Nm (27 ft lb)
1331 torque wrench without 3312 open-end spanner 70 Nm (52 ft lb)

Cooling system, pressure test


Engine at operating temperature

WARNING!

The cooling system is pressurized when the
engine is warm. When opening the expansion
tank, wear gloves and other appropriate
protection, cover the cap with a cloth and
open carefully to relieve system pressure
slowly.

- Open cap on coolant expansion tank.

- Using VAG1274/8 adapter attach VAG1274 cooling system tester to
coolant expansion tank.
- Use tester hand pump to create a pressure of approx. 1.0 bar (14.5
psi).
- If pressure falls, check for leaks and repair.

Pressure relief valve in cap, checking

- Attach sealing cap to tester using VAG1274/9
adapter.

- Install hand pump and pump.
- Pressure relief valve must open at pressure between 1.4-1.6 bar (20.3-
23.2 psi).

After-run coolant pump, checking


Note:

Control modules with an after-run time of 15
seconds after engine is turned off were installed
since start of production. As a running change
in m.y. 1999, control modules with an after-run
time of 3 minutes were installed.
The coolant after-run pump also continues to
run after the engine is started again before the
15 second or 3 minute cycle is completed.
The coolant after-run pump and the after-run
fan are controlled via the same control module.
After switching off the engine, the after-run pump
always runs for 15 seconds or 3 minutes after the
engine has been switched off. If during this time
the switch-on temperature of 102 C (coolant
temperature) is reached at the thermostat of the
second fan stage, the after-run pump continues
to run and the coolant fan continues to run in the
after-run stage until the switch-off temperature of
91 C of the coolant at thermostat has been
reached. The maximum running time of the after-
run pump is 10 minutes.
