WARNING!

Hot steam can escape from the expansion
tank when the filler cap is opened. Cover the
filler cap with a cloth and unscrew it carefully.

Notes:

When the engine is hot the cooling system is
under pressure. Carefully open filler cap on
expansion tank to release pressure before
starting repair work.
Hoses are secured with spring-type clips. When
repairing only use spring-type clips.
VAG 1921 pliers are recommended when
installing spring-type clips.
The O-rings fitted at the quick-release
connections must be replaceed if damaged or
leaking.
When installing coolant hoses, ensure that they
are free of stress and do not come into contact
with other components (observe markings on
coolant connection and hose).
