7.16.2 Engine coolant – Level check

WARNING Preconditions

☑ Engine is stopped and starting disabled. ☑ MTU Fluids and Lubricants Specifications (A001061/..) are available.

Coolant is hot and under pressure. Risk of injury and scalding! • Let the engine cool down. • Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles / safety mask.

Checking coolant level at filler neck

1. Turn breather valve of filler neck on coolant expansion tank counterclockwise to first stop and allow pressure to escape. 2. Continue to turn breather valve counter‐clockwise and remove. 3. Check coolant level (coolant must be visible at the lower edge of the cast-in eye).

Checking coolant level at remote cooler

1. Check coolant level (coolant must be visible at marking plate). 2. Top up with treated coolant as necessary (→ Page 135). 3. Check proper condition of breather valve and clean sealing faces. 4. Place breather valve on filler neck and close.

Coolant level check by means of level sensor:
