Video tutorial

If a repair has been carried out that required draining the engine coolant (such as replacing the water pump or radiator), it will be necessary to refill the cooling system with suitable antifreeze, paying particular attention to avoid air bubbles in the circuit; once the coolant mixture is prepared (a ready-to-use mixture can also be chosen), apply a tube to the bleed valve located just below the filler cap and open it while slowly filling the circuit: you will notice bubbles escaping; at the end of the filling, start the engine, activating the cabin heating so that the fluid circulates throughout the system and recheck the level.
