Replacement of cooling liquid

The cooling system of the Audi cars of all models are filled at manufacturer with mix of water and antifreeze (G 11) with anticorrosive additives. Such cooling mix can be used all the year round.

The antifreeze which is not containing phosphates increases frost resistance, prevents corrosion and scaling, and, besides, raises a boiling point. Increase in a boiling point of cooling liquid improves operational parameters during the work with the maximum load, especially in tropical conditions.

When replacing cooling liquid in the Audi cars of all models irrespective of a year of release it is necessary to fill the cooling system with the ZVW237 102 antifreeze which is not containing phosphates.

Discharge of cooling liquid

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1) transfer the handle of management of a heater to situation warm
2) remove a stopper of a broad tank
	3) merge cooling liquid or through hoses 1, or via the thermostat 2 union

Gas station

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1) establish into place and fix hoses
	2) fill a broad tank with cooling liquid to maximum tag
3) close a tank a stopper
4) start the engine and warm up it before the first operation of the fan
5) check the level of cooling liquid, if necessary restore

The recommended mixes

Freezing point	Antifreeze volume	Water volume
- 25 °C	2,8 l	4,2 l
- 35 °C	3,5 l	3,5 l

Prevention

When the engine is heated-up up to the normal working temperature, the level of cooling liquid in a broad tank has to be a little higher than maximum tag. When the engine cold, the level of cooling liquid in a broad tank has to be between tags of minimum and maximum.

It is forbidden to touch fan blades. The fan can spontaneously turn on at operation of a timer. In a heated motor compartment the cycle of turning on of the fan can repeatedly be repeated after an engine stop.

Automatic turning on of the fan after an engine stop

Modern cars are equipped with system of automatic start of the fan for cooling of a fuel pipe and injectors after an engine stop that facilitates the subsequent launch of the hot engine.

Principle of work of system

If temperature in space of a motor compartment after a stop of the engine is above 110 °C, then the thermoswitch includes a timer which in turn turns on the fan.

When temperature becomes below 103 °C, the relay switches-off the fan. Such cycle can repeatedly be repeated, for 10–12 min.

System details

Thermoswitch

It is mounted on an arm which fastens to a block head between the 1st and the 2nd cylinders (from an injector).

Timer

After operation of a thermoswitch, a timer turns on the fan on the first speed of rotation for 10–12 min. after an engine stop.

Timer

It is mounted on an auxiliary guard under the dashboard on the left side.

Turn the ignition key in position of ON and OFF.

Connect a thermoswitch wire to the mass of the car.

The fan has to turn on at the first speed of rotation.

Prevention

Test has to be executed within 10–12 minutes after an engine stop as the timer works during this period.

Thermoswitch

Position of ON – closes contact on the weight when temperature in a motor compartment is above 110 °C.

Position of OFF – contacts are opened when temperature in a motor compartment is below 103 °C.

Electrical wiring

By search of malfunctions of an electric chain you watch subsection 14.3.2.

Calibrating of the areometer for antifreeze

For ensuring accuracy of measurements, it is necessary to check calibrating of the areometer periodically.

In a small vessel mix antifreeze and water in the ratio 1:1.

The indication of the areometer has to be -35 °C. If the indication differs, then put the tag corresponding of -35 °C.

Check of level of cooling liquid

When the engine is heated-up up to the normal working temperature, the level of cooling liquid in a broad tank has to be a little higher than maximum tag.

When the engine cold, the level of cooling liquid in a broad tank has to be between tags of minimum and maximum.

The antifreeze which is not containing phosphates increases frost resistance, prevents corrosion and scaling, and, besides, raises a boiling point. Increase in a boiling point of cooling liquid improves operational indicators of the engine during the work with the maximum load, especially in tropical conditions.

When replacing cooling liquid, or at restoration of level, it is necessary to fill the cooling system with the ZVW237 102 antifreeze which is not containing phosphates. It belongs to all models of the Audi cars, irrespective of a year of release.
