COOLING SYSTEM - Radiator
RADIATOR | |
CLEANING
OF RADIATOR Using water or a steam cleaner, remove any mud and dirt from the radiator core. Notice: If using a high pressure type cleaner, be careful not to deform the fins of the radiator core. If the cleaner nozzle pressure is 30-35 kg/cm2 (427 - 498 psi, 2942 - 3432 kPa), keep a distance of at least 40-50 cm between the radiator core and cleaner nozzle. |

INSPECTION
OF RADIATOR 1. INSPECT RADIATOR
(WATER FILLER) CAP Standard opening pressure: Minimum opening pressure: |
|
If the opening pressure is less
than minimum, replace the radiator cap. 2. INSPECT COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS (a) Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a
radiator cap tester to the radiator (water filler) cap. If the pressure drops, check for leaks on the hoses, radiator or water pump. If no external leaks are found, check the heater core, cylinder block and head. |
