Coolant — replacement Attention! If the coolant is drained as part of a vehicle repair, it must be collected for reuse. If the water pump, radiator or cylinder head is being replaced, the coolant must be replaced with a new one. Only fill...
Cooling system — leak test The tightness of the cooling system, as well as the performance of the exhaust valve on the radiator filler cap, can be checked using a special device. The leak test procedure is given with the RENAULT tool, although...
Thermal switch — check The thermal switch is screwed into the radiator and is located above the lower coolant hose. The thermal switch is designed to turn on the radiator fan when the coolant is heated to a certain temperature. Checking the...
Coolant temperature sensor — removal, installation and inspection The coolant temperature indicator sensor registers the current engine temperature and transmits this data to the engine control unit. The sensor consists of an NTC element that reduces the resistance of the sensor as...
Thermostat — removal, installation and inspection As the engine temperature rises, the thermostat opens a large coolant circuit. If, due to a malfunction, the thermostat does not work, the engine will overheat. This position is indicated by the coolant temperature...
Radiator — removal and installation During the operation of the car, the narrow channels of the radiator can become clogged with lime deposits, as well as sediments from the coolant. This reduces the cooling effect and the engine may overheat. In this...
Water pump — removal and installation The water pump is beyond repair. If a defect occurs, the pump must be replaced as a set. The reason for the leakage of coolant on the cylinder block near the water pump when the engine is hot, as a rule, is a defect in...
