Installation guide - Replacing a cooling system part
General guidance for this part type - always follow your device manual- Drain pan
- Pliers for hose clamps
- Correct coolant for your vehicle
- This is an advanced job: follow your vehicle's service manual, or have a qualified mechanic fit it.
- Recheck the coolant level after the first few drives as trapped air works out.
- 1Make it safe. Engine off and completely cold. Never open the radiator or reservoir cap on a hot engine.
- 2Drain the coolant. Open the drain plug or remove the lower hose into a drain pan, and keep coolant away from pets.
- 3Remove the old part. Undo the hose clamps and bolts, noting each hose's position, and clean the old gasket off the mating surfaces.
- 4Fit the new part. Use the new gasket or O-ring, tighten bolts evenly to your manual's values and refit hoses with their clamps.
- 5Refill and bleed. Refill with the coolant your manual specifies, run the engine with the heater on full to purge air, top up, and check for leaks once cool.
This is general guidance for the part type, not a model-specific procedure. If the part does not fit without force, stop and recheck compatibility.
