ENGINE COOLING – Thermostat14-4
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
ATHERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
(1) Install the thermostat so that the jiggle valve is facing
straight up.
Caution
Make absolutely sure that no oil is adhering to the
rubber ring of the thermostat. If the rubber ring is
damaged, replace the thermostat.
(2) When assembling the thermostat, be careful not to fold
over or scratch the rubber ring.
BRADIATOR LOWER HOSE CONNECTION
(1) Insert each hose as far as the projection of the water
inlet fitting.
(2) Align the mating marks on the radiator hose and hose
clamp, and then connect the radiator hose.
INSPECTION
THERMOSTAT CHECK
(1) Immerse the thermostat in water, and heat the water while
stirring. Check the thermostat valve opening temperature.
Standard value: 76.5 ± 1.5
C
(2) Check that the amount of valve lift is at the standard
value when the water is at the full-opening temperature.
Standard value:
Full-opening temperature: 90
C
Amount of valve lift: 8.5 mm or more
NOTE
Measure the valve height when the thermostat is fully
closed, calculate the valve lift by subtracting this
measurement from the valve height when the thermostat
is fully open.

3-2 TORQUE TRANSFER MECHANISM
(1) Remove the drain plug to discharge the gear oil.
(2) Fit the drain plug and tighten it to the specified torque.
(3) Remove the filler plug and add the specified gear oil
up to the bottom end of the filler plug hole.
Specified gear oil:
MITSUBISHI GENUINE DIA QUEEN SUPER AYC
FLUID
Quantity used: 0.70
0
0.05dm3{0.700
0.05}
(4) Fit the filler plug and tighten it to the specified torque.
4. FLUID LEVEL CHECK
(1) Remove the maintenance lid located in the luggage
compartment.
(2) If the vehicle has been run, leave it for 5 min. or more
in an ordinary temperature (10
C to 30
C) to allow the
accumulator internal pressure to drop.
NOTE
If the ambient temperature is less than 10
C or less,
allow more time to leave the vehicle to stand idle.
(3) Check that the fluid level in the oil reservoir is in the
range between MAX and MIN.
(4) If the fluid level is lower than MIN, add the specified
fluid.
Specified fluid: MITSUBISHI DIA QUEEN ATF-SPII
(5) Reinstall the maintenance lid.
5. BLEEDING
(1) Lift up the vehicle.
(2) Remove the cap of the left bleeder screw on the torque
transfer differential and connect a vinyl hose.
(3) Gradually turn the steering wheel clockwise from the
straight-ahead position. At this time, loosen the left bleeder
screw and check that fluid is discharged with air.
(4) After air has been completely discharged, tighten the
bleeder screw.
Caution
While the system is being bled of air, add fluid as
necessary to ensure that it is left in the oil reservoir
during the entire procedure.
(5) Repeat steps (3) and (4) two to three times until no air
bubbles are recognized in the fluid that comes out. Then,
tighten the bleeder screw to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 9 Nm {0.9 kgf
m}
(6) Perform steps (2) through (5) for the right bleeder screw.
Note, however, that the steering wheel should be turned
counterclockwise.
