Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Cooling System
Water Hose and Pipe Inspection (coolant leak, damage,
installation condition)
The high pressure inside the water hose can cause
coolant to leak [A] or the hose to burst if the line is not
properly maintained.
•
Visually inspect the hoses for signs of deterioration.
Squeeze the hoses. A hose should not be hard and
brittle, nor should it be soft or swollen.
Replace the hose if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges [C]
are noticed.
•
Check that the hoses are securely connected and clamps
are tightened correctly.
Torque - Water Hose Clamp Screws: 3.0 N·m (0.31 kgf·m,
