Bleed screw on top of thermostat (OHC engine)
The air bleed screw is indicated by the arrow.
If a mixture of Super Plus 4 concentrate and water is used as a coolant, there is no need to replace the coolant.
The coolant level must be checked regularly, but at least once a month.
For topping up, use only coolant, i.e. a mixture of distilled water and antifreeze.
Attention! In emergency cases, you can also add clean water, but in this case, you must correct the density of the coolant or replace it as soon as possible.
The coolant level in the expansion tank should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on a cold engine.
Add cold coolant only to a cold engine.

1. Unscrew the expansion tank cap.
Warning! The lid can only be unscrewed at temperatures below 40°C, otherwise you may get serious burns.
2. Place a suitable container under the radiator.
3. In the car, set the heater temperature control to the maximum temperature position.
4. Unscrew the coolant drain plug at the bottom of the radiator and drain the fluid.
5. Place a suitable container under the cylinder block.
6. On the cylinder block, unscrew the coolant drain bolt and drain the liquid.
7. After draining is complete, flush the cooling system by directing a stream of clean water through the expansion tank and continue flushing until clean water appears from the outlet of the lower radiator tank.
8. After flushing the system, screw the drain plugs back into place.
9. Fill the cooling system through the expansion tank neck until air bubbles stop being released.
10. Start the engine and warm it up to operating temperature. During engine warm-up, check the coolant level and top it up if necessary.
11. Install the expansion tank cap.
12. After the engine has cooled down, check the coolant level.
