Cooling system antifreeze protection
and coolant level, checking


CAUTION!

Part numbers are for reference only. Always
check with your Parts Dept. for the latest
parts information.
Coolant antifreeze, Part No. G 11 prevents frost
and corrosion damage, lime deposits, and also
raises the boiling temperature. Cooling system
must be filled year round with antifreeze and
corrosion protection agent.
Concentration of coolant must not be reduced by
adding wa ter, even during summer or in warmer
climates. Coolant antifreeze percentage must be
at least 40%.
Because of its high boiling point, coolant
contributes to safe operation at high engine load,
especially in warmer climates.

- Check concentration of coolant antifreeze.

Antifreeze protection must be approximately
-25 C (-13 F) for US and -35 C (-31 F)
for Canada.

For antifreeze protection down to

Splits in base material (cracks, core
fractures, cross section fractures).
Separation of layers (top layer, tensile
cords).
Bursting on base material.

Manual transmission/final drive oil level,
checking


5-speed manual transmission 012/01W

Special tools and equipment

Key 3357, or
Hex key socket attachment, 17 mm AF

Note:
The vehicle must be absolutely horizontal when
checking transmission oil level. This work is
best performed over an inspection pit or using a
four column lifting platform.
The prescribed oil level is to be adhered to
exactly; the transmission reacts very sensitively
to over-filling.
The oil filter plug is on the left of the
transmission below the speedometer sender; it
may be concealed by the heat shield for the
drive shaft.

Depending on the version installed, use either special tool 3357 or a
17 mm hex socket key to loosen the oil filter plug.

Dept. for the latest parts information. - To check oil level, unscrew oil filler plug (arrow).
- Check oil level with locally manufactured tool, e.g. a piece of angled
wire.
