Land Rover Discovery: Engine Cooling - Ingenium i4 2.0l Diesel Cooling System Partial Draining,
Filling and Bleeding (G1879553) / General Procedures
DRAINING
CAUTIONS:
- The engine cooling system must be maintained with the correct
concentration and type of anti-freeze solution to prevent corrosion
and frost damage. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
damage to the engine.
- Engine coolant will damage the paint finished surfaces. If spilt,
immediately remove the coolant and clean the area with water.
WARNING:
Make sure to support the vehicle with axle stands.
Raise and support the vehicle.
WARNINGS:
- Release the cooling system pressure by slowly turning the
coolant expansion tank cap a quarter of a turn. Cover the
expansion tank cap with a thick cloth to prevent the
possibility of scalding. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in personal injury.
- Be prepared to collect escaping fluid.
- Since injury such as scalding could be caused by escaping
steam or coolant, make sure the vehicle cooling system is
cool prior to carrying out this procedure.
