Engine Noisy
Abnormal engine noise often consists of various
noises originating in rotating parts, sliding parts and
other moving parts of the engine. It is, therefore,
advisable to locate the source of noise systematically.
Condition Possible cause Correction
Noise from crank journals or from
crank bearings
(Faulty crank journals and crank
bearings usually make dull noise
that becomes more evident when
accelerating) Oil clearance increased due to
worn crank journals or crank
bearings Replace crank bearings and
crankshaft or regrind crankshaft

OPERATIONS ON COOLING SYSTEM
Caution!
Before working with the cooling system, be sure to confirm that
the temperature of the engine is cooled down.
Failure to observe this may cause burn.








Cooling System, Check for Leaks
Installation
1. Install commercially available coolant checking instrument onto compensation tank (Refer to section 6B;
Engine cooling).
2. Check coolant level.

Inspection
Use 5-8840-0277-0 tester & 5-8840-2603-0 adaptor.



Cooling System, Fill Up and Bleed
Important!
Radiator and heater core are made from alminium.
To avoid corrosion, use only anti-freeze with corrosion
protection.


Replace Coolant
1. Confirm the engine is cold enough.
2. Open the radiator cap, pour coolant to the filler neck level and close the cap.
3. Pour coolant into the reservoir until MAX line is reached.
4. Start the engine, run 2 ∼ 3 minutes at idling speed and
switch off the engine.
5. Refill coolant if the coolant level is lowered.

6A-64 ENGINE MECHANICAL (C24SE)
Important!
Do not loosen or open the radiator cap when coolant is hot.
Doing so may cause hot water or steam to splash out, resulting
in burn. W hen opening the radiator cap, be sure to confirm the
coolant is cold. Cover a thick cloth over the cap and loosen it
slowly to reduce pressure, then open the cap.
6. Close the radiator cap firmly and run the engine at approx. 2000 rpm. In addition, set the heater temperature
adjuster to the max position to circulate coolant in the
heater conduit system.
7. Confirm that the temperature gauge reads half or more of full scale and that the thermostat is activated.
Then continue idling 5 minutes more and switch off the
engine, and allow it to cool.
8. After the engine cools down, check the coolant level and refill it if necessary. W hen the level is lowered extremely,
check the coolant conduit system and reservoir hose for
leak.
9. Pour coolant into the reservoir to MAX level.






Refill Coolant
Important!
After closing the cooling system, let engine run warm until
thermostat opens (coolant approx. 92 °C/197.6F)

Inspection
Coolant level
Allow engine to cool. If necessary, refill coolant.

Check that cooling system self-bleeds during engine warming-
up phase.

6B-6 ENGINE COOLING

















Draining and Refilling Cooling
System
Before draining the cooling system, inspect the system and
perform any necessary service to ensure that it is clean, does
not leak and is in proper working order. The engine coolant
level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" lines of reserve
tank when the engine is cold. If low, check for leakage and add
engine coolant up to the "MAX" line. There should not be any
excessive deposit of rust or scales around the radiator cap or
radiator filler hole, and the engine coolant should also be free
from oil.
Replace the engine coolant if excessively dirty.
1. Completely drain the cooling system by opening the drain
plug at the bottom of the radiator.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE DANGER OF BEING BURNED,
DO NOT REMOVE THE CAP WHILE THE ENGINE AND
RADIATOR ARE STILL HOT. SCALDING FLUID AND
STEAM CAN BE BLOWN OUT UNDER PRESSURE.
3. Disconnect all hoses from the engine coolant reserve tank.
Scrub and clean the inside of the reserve tank with soap and water. Flush it well with clean water, then drain it. Install
the reserve tank and hoses.
4. Refill the cooling system with the engine coolant using a solution that is at least 50 percent antifreeze.
5. Fill the radiator to the base of the filler neck.
Fill the engine coolant reserve tank to "MAX" line when the engine is cold.
6. Block the drive wheels and firmly apply the parking brake and place the shift lever in the "NEUTRAL" position.
7. Remove the radiator cap. Start the engine and warm it up at 2,500 - 3,000 rpm for about 30 minutes.
8. W hen the air comes out from the radiator filler neck and the engine coolant level has gone down, replenish with the
engine coolant. Repeat this procedure until the engine
coolant level does not go down. Then stop the engine and
install the radiator cap. Let the engine cool down.
9. After the engine has cooled, replenish with engine coolant up to the "MAX" line of the reserve tank.
10. Start the engine. W ith the engine running at 3,000 rpm, make sure there is no running water sound from the heate
r
core (behind the center console).
11. If the running water sound is heard, repeat steps 8 to 10.

6B-12 ENGINE COOLING


Inspection
Radiator Cap
Measure the valve opening pressure of the pressurizing valve
with a radiator filler cap tester.
Replace the cap if the valve opening pressure is outside the
standard range.
Valve opening pressure kPa (psi) 88.3 – 103.0
(13.5 – 15.7)
Cap tester: 5-8840-0277-0
Adapter: 5-8840-2603-0
Check the condition of the vacuum valve in the center of the
valve seat side of the cap. If considerable rust or dirt is found,
or if the valve seat cannot be moved by hand, clean or replace
the cap.
Valve opening vacuum kPa (psi) 1.9 - 4.9
(0.28 - 0.71)



Radiator Core
1. A bent fin may result in reduced ventilation and overheating
may occur. All bent fins must be straightened. Pay close
attention to the base of the fin when it is being straightened.
2. Remove all dust, bugs and other foreign material.
Flushing the Radiator
Thoroughly wash the inside of the radiator and the engine
coolant passages with cold water and mild detergent. Remove
all sign of scale and rust.
Cooling System Leakage Check
Use a radiator cap tester to force air into the radiator through
the filler neck at the specified pressure of 196 kPa (28.5 psi)
with a cap tester:
• Leakage from the radiator
• Leakage from the coolant pump
• Leakage from the water hoses
• Check the rubber hoses for swelling.
Cap tester: 5-8840-0277-0
Adapter: 5-8840-2603-0

ENGINE COOLING 6B-13

Installation
1. Install radiator assembly, taking care not to damage theradiator core.
2. Install the radiator assembly.
3. Connect reserve tank hose.
4. Connect radiator inlet hose and outlet hose.
5. Pour engine coolant up to filler neck of radiator, and up to MAX mark of reserve tank.
Important operation (in case of 100% engine coolant change) procedure for filling with engine coolant.
• Remove radiator cap.
• Fill with engine coolant to the radiator filler neck.
• Fill with EC to the "MAX" line on the reservoir tank.
• Start the engine with the radiator cap removed and bring to
operating temperature by running engine at 2,500 - 3,000
rpm for 30 minutes.
• By engine coolant temperature gauge reading make sure
that the thermostat is open.
• If air bubbles come up to the radiator filler neck, replenish
with engine coolant. Repeat until the EC level does not drop
any further. Install the radiator cap and stop the engine.
• Replenish engine coolant to the "MAX" line on the reservoi
r
tank and leave as it is until the engine gets cool.
•
After the engine gets cool, start the engine and make sure
there is no water running noise heard from the heater core
while the engine runs at 3000 rpm.
• Should water running noise be heard, repeat the same
procedure from the beginning.
