17 Start the insert into the threaded hole.
CAUTION
If the insert will not thread down until the
flange contacts the counter-bored surface,
remove the insert immediately with a screw
extracting tool and inspect the tapped hole
for any remaining swarf and/or incorrect
tapping.
18 Install the insert until the flange of the insert contacts
the counter-bored surface.

Engine Cooling – V6 Engine Page 6B1–16

3 Service Operations
3.1 Service Notes
Safety

• To avoid serious personal injury, never
remove the coolant filler pressure cap on
the coolant outlet housing when the
engine is hot, even if the cooling system
should require filling. Sudden release of
cooling system pressure is very
dangerous.
• The vehicle is fitted with an electric
radiator cooling fan. When working around
the engine compartment, keep clear of the
fan as it may start without warning.
Before removing the coolant filler cap, allow the engine to cool, then place a shop rag over the coolant filler cap and then
slowly turn the cap anticlockwise, approximately 1½ turns, until the pressure relief position is reached. The pressure
relief position will allow any remaining pressure within the system to escape into the coolant recovery reservoir. Continue
to rotate the cap anticlockwise until the cap can be safely removed.
Periodic Servicing
The cooling system requires little attention except for maintaining the coolant to the correct level in the recovery reservoir
and periodic servicing at the time or distance intervals as outlined in 0B Lubrication and Service.
Periodic servicing includes:
1 Checking coolant level. Refer to 3.3 Draining and Filling Cooling System in this Section.
2 Checking coolant concentration. Refer to 3.2 Coolant Maintenance – Testing Coolant Concentration in this Section.
3 Pressure test cooling system and coolant filler cap. Refer to 3.7 Pressure Testing in this Section.
4 Tighten hose clamps and inspect all hoses. Refer to 3.6 Coolant Hoses in this Section. Replace hoses if swollen or deteriorated.

Always wear protective safety glasses when
working with spring type hose clamps. Failure
to do so could result in eye injury.
5 Clean out cooling system, refer to 3.4 Cleaning Cooling System – Cooling System Flush, in this Section and refill. Refer to 3.3 Draining and Filling Cooling System in this Section.
Environmental Issues
To reduce environmental impact and maintenance cost, whenever the coolant is drained from any engine, the service
records are to be checked to determine when the coolant was last changed. If more than six months life is left before the
next coolant change, then the following procedure is to be followed:
1 W hen draining the coolant from the engine, use a clean container to hold at least 12 litres of coolant and ensure that the coolant is not contaminated in the draining process.
2 After repairs have been completed, refill the engine cooling system with the drained coolant.
