PROCEDURE TO ADJUST THE CONCENTRATION OF THE COOLANT
To adjust the concentration of coolant according to temperature, find the proper engine coolant concentration in the diagram 1 and replace the necessary amount of coolant with an undiluted solution of engine coolant (concentration 50%).
The amount of engine coolant that should be replaced can be determined using the diagram 2.
[Example]
Assume that the engine coolant concentration must be increased from 25% to 40%. Find point A, where the 25% line of engine coolant concentration intersects with the 40% curve of the necessary engine coolant concentration, and read the scale on the vertical axis of the graph at height A. The quantity of coolant to be drained is 2.1 l (2.2 US qt, 1.8 lmp qt). Drain 2.1 l (2.2 US qt, 1.8 lmp qt) of coolant from the cooling system and add 2.1 l (2.2 US qt, 1.8 lmp qt) undiluted engine coolant solution.
If a coolant concentration of 50% is needed, drain all the coolant and refill with the undiluted solution only.

- Check the water pump bearing for smooth rotation.
- Check the water pump pulley for abnormalities.
- Make sure the impeller is not deformed or damaged.
- Inspect the clearance between impeller and pump case. Clearance between impeller and pump case: Standard 0.5 - 1.5 mm (0.020 - 0.060 in)
- After water pump installation, check pulley shaft for engine coolant leaks. If leaks are noted, replace the water pump assembly.
