Checking filling quality  
Special tools and workshop equipment required  
♦ adapter -VAS 691 005/5-  
♦ cooling system tester -V.A.G 1274 B-  
Note  
It is necessary to make sure that there is no air in the cooling  
system. If there is any air in the cooling system, the coolant  
level will drop far below the permissible level in the course of  
time. Overheating of the motor is also possible.  
CAUTION  
The cooling system may be under pressure. Risk of scalding  
due to hot steam and hot coolant  
Danger of scalding skin and other parts of the body  
– Put on protective gloves.  
– Put on safety goggles.  
– Cover filler cap on expansion tank with a suitable cloth and  
open carefully to release pressure.  
– Open sealing cap of coolant expansion tank -arrow-.  
– Check coolant level. It must be approx. 10 mm above the  
max. marking or be at the max. marking -1-. If necessary,  
top up with coolant.

– Fit cooling system tester -V.A.G 1274 B- -3- with adapter  
-VAS 691 005/5- -1- onto coolant expansion tank -2-.  
– Build up pressure of 1.5 bar using hand pump of cooling  
system tester.  
– Observe coolant level in expansion tank.  
If the coolant level in the coolant expansion tank has dropped  
more than 20 mm, this is an indication of an air bubble in the  
cooling system.  
– Carry out function “Bleed cooling system” using ⇒ Vehicle  
diagnostic tester ⇒ Rep. gr. 00; Access to diagnoses.  
– Repeat filling quality check.  
If the coolant level in the coolant expansion tank has dropped  
less than 20 mm, the cooling system has been filled correctly.
