When the engine is warm, the cooling system is under


pressure.

Hot steam/hot coolant can escape - risk of scalding.

Cover filler cap on coolant expansion tank with a cloth and


open carefully to dissipate pressure.

– Open filler cap on coolant expansion tank.

– Screw adapter for cooling system tester -V.A.G 1274/8- into


coolant expansion tank.

– Clamp connector -V.A.G 1274 B/1- into adapter for cooling


system tester -V.A.G 1274/8-.

– Join connection piece -V.A.G 1274 B/1-


to cooling system tester -V.A.G 1274 B-
using connecting hose supplied.

– Build up pressure of approx. 1.5 bar


using hand pump of cooling system
tester.

l The pressure must not drop by more than


0.2 bar within 10 minutes.

– If the pressure drops by more than


0.2 bar, locate and rectify leaks.

Note

The pressure drop by more than 0.2 bar


within 10 minutes is caused by the coolant
which cools down. The colder the engine, the
smaller the pressure drop. If necessary
repeat the test with the engine being cold.

DANGER!

Risk of scalding! Before disconnecting


cooling system tester -V.A.G 1274 B-
from connecting hose or connector -
V.A.G 1274 B/1-, always relieve existing
pressure. To do this, press pressure
relief valve on cooling system tester -
V.A.G 1274 B- until pressure gauge
displays value of »0«.

Checking pressure relief valve in filler


cap:

– Screw cap into adapter for cooling


system tester -V.A.G 1274/9-.

– Clamp connector -V.A.G 1274 B/1- into


adapter for cooling system tester -V.A.G
1274/9-.

Join connection piece -V.A.G 1274 B/1-


to cooling system tester -V.A.G 1274 B-
using connecting hose supplied.

– Build up pressure using hand pump.

l The pressure relief valve should open at


a pressure of 1.4 ... 1.6 bar.

– Renew filler cap, if pressure relief valve


does not open as described.
