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.

Scheme 32: INSTALLATION
  1. Install the water pump onto cylinder block (LH). NOTE: Use a new gasket. When installing the water pump, tighten the bolts in two stages in alphabetical sequence as shown in figure. Tightening torque: First: 12 N.m (1.2 kgf-m, 8.9 ft-lb) Second: 12 N.m (1.2 kgf-m, 8.9 ft-lb)
  2. Install the hose to water pump.
  3. Install the tensioner bracket. Tightening torque: 24.5 N.m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.1 ft-lb)
  4. Install the belt cover No. 2 (LH). Tightening torque: 5 N.m (0.5 kgf-m, 3.6 ft-lb)

Scheme 33: INSPECTION
  1. Check the water pump bearing for smooth rotation.
  2. Check the water pump pulley for abnormalities.
  3. Make sure the impeller is not deformed or damaged.
  4. 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)
  5. After water pump installation, check pulley shaft for engine coolant leaks. If leaks are noted, replace the water pump assembly.
