– Connect coolant hose and lower right coupling -1- to the radi‐

ator. Refer to

⇒ Fig. ““Connect the Coolant Hose to the Coupling”“ ,

page 245

 .

– Fill the -VAS6096- with 10 liters (10.56 quarts) of coolant in

the correct mixture ratio, mixture ratio. Refer to 

⇒ page 219

 .

– Install the Cooling System Tester - Adapter - VAG1274/8- on

the coolant expansion tank.

– Secure the Cooling System Charge Kit - VAS6096- on the

adapter -VAG1274/8- .

– Place the air outlet hose -1- in a small container -2-.

Note

A small amount of coolant which should be collected is drawn off

with the discharged air.

– Close valves -A and B- by turning lever at a right angle to di‐

rection of flow.

– Connect the hose -3- to compressed air.
• Pressure: 6 to 10 bar (87.02 to 145.03 psi) positive pressure.
– Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester .
– Turn on the ignition and select the following menu items on the

Vehicle Diagnostic Tester :

♦

01 - Engine electronics

♦

Guided functions

♦

01 - Cooling system filling/bleeding

– Open valve -B- by turning level in direction of flow.
• The suction jet pump generates pressure in the coolant sys‐

tem; indicator on display instrument must move into green

area.

– Briefly open the valve -A- by turning the lever in the flow di‐

rection so that the hose on the Cooling System Charge Kit -

VAS6096- coolant expansion tank fills with coolant.

– Close valve -A- again.
– Leave valve -B- open another two minutes.
• More pressure is generated in the coolant system by the suc‐

tion jet pump; indicator on display instrument must stay in

green area.

– Close valve -B-.
– Remove pressurized air hose.
• Needle in the display instrument must remain in the green re‐

gion, then the sufficient vacuum in the cooling system is

obtained for the upcoming filling.

Note

♦

Repeat the procedure if the needle goes below the green

range.

♦

Check the cooling system for leaks if the pressure drops.

– Open the valve -A- slowly.
• Coolant is extracted from the Cooling System Charge Kit -

VAS6096- coolant reservoir by pressure in the coolant system

and the system is filled.

– Remove the Cooling System Charge Kit - VAS6096- from the

coolant expansion tank.

– Fill the coolant to the MAX marking.
– Install the noise insulation. Refer to ⇒  Body Exterior; Rep. Gr. 

66 ; Noise Insulation; Overview - Noise Insulation .

– If the vehicle has a parking heater, switch it on for about 30

seconds.

– Set the temperature at “HI”.
– Press the 

AC

 button to turn off the A/C compressor.

• The LED in the button must not come on.
– Start the engine and run it at approximately 1500 RPM for a

maximum of two minutes.

– With engine running, fill coolant up to overflow hole on coolant

expansion tank.

– Close the cap on the coolant expansion tank until it locks into

place.

– Let the engine run at idle until both large coolant hoses on the

radiator are warm.

– Turn off engine and allow it to cool off.

– Check the coolant level.
• The coolant level must be between the “min” and max mark‐

ings when the engine is cold.

• Coolant level may be at the MAX marking with engine at op‐

erating temperature.

– Add more coolant if necessary.
