Engine losing coolant
Upon identifying a steady coolant loss in the above-mentioned vehicles, check all coolant hose connections and the radiators for leaks. We recommend pressurising the cooling system with a suitable tool according to the manufacturer's specifications.
When identifying the leak, pay special attention to the thermostat housing. Coolant loss here may be caused by a faulty O-ring. When replacing the O-ring, make sure that the contact surfaces on the thermostat housing and engine block are sufficiently cleaned.
The cooling system must then be filled and vented according to the manufacturer's specifications.
Simultaneously also replace the thermostat when replacing the O-ring (06B1211119B)
