Coolant recommendations
Onlyethyleneglycolbasedcoolantwith
acorrosioninhibitorsuitedtoaluminium
alloy engine components should be
used in the cooling system. No further
additives or inhibitors should be used.
The coolant specific gravity should be
checked as prescribed in the mainte-
nance schedule to ensure adequate
frost and corrosion protection. In addi-
tion, the engine coolant must be re-
placed at the specified interval since
the corrosion inhibitor properties dete-
riorate with time.
NOTE:
It is imperative that vehicles fitted
withanairconditioningsystemhave
a coolant concentration of the rec-
ommendedstrengthatalltimes.The
use of the air conditioning system
when the cooling system is filled
with water only will result in the
heater matrix freezing and subse-
quentlybursting.
Petrol engine
It is important to note that whilst an
increase in the concentration of anti
freeze gives an increase in the level of
frost protection, a solution which is in
excess of 65% anti freeze will result in
reduced frost protection and engine
overheating. Therefore the recom-
mended concentration of 50% should
not be exceeded for general use.
The use of methanol based anti freeze
compounds may result in engine over-
heating and will invalidate the vehicle
warranty.
