2. Remove the cap from the expansion tank.
3. Remove the engine splash guard.
4. Place a container under the vehicle to collect the coolant.
5. Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator or disconnect the supply hose from the radiator. To ensure maximum coolant drainage, additionally do the following:
6. Four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. Disconnect the large diameter hose located on the left side of the engine, when viewed in the direction of travel, going from the radiator to the thermostat housing, as well as the thin hose from the heater radiator to the thermostat (see illustrations).
7. Five-cylinder engine. Disconnect the hose going to the heater radiator, located behind the rear end of the engine.
8. Disconnect the lower coolant circulation hose.
9. Six-cylinder engine. Drain the coolant through the additional drain hole at the bottom of the cylinder block at the junction between the engine and the gearbox (see arrow in illustration).
Warning! Coolant is toxic. It must not be poured into the sewer. The liquid must be disposed of at the nearest collection points.
Refueling
Due to the fact that when draining, a certain amount of coolant still remains in the system, when refilling it may turn out that the filled volume is less than the nominal one.
10. Unscrew the vent plug on the coolant hose to the heater radiator (see illustrations).
11. Six-cylinder engines only: Remove the vent plug on the coolant hose at the front end of the engine
12. First add antifreeze, then water, preferably distilled, so that the liquid level is at the top edge of the expansion tank.
13. Fill with coolant until it starts to come out through the vent hole.
14. Four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. Raise the coolant supply hose to the radiator slightly, without stopping the coolant filling.
15. Close the filler cap of the expansion tank.
16. Start the engine and leave it running at idle until the electric radiator fan starts up.
17. Turn off the engine and top up the coolant. Its level in the expansion tank should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks. When the engine is hot, the level is slightly higher.
