Cooling system (Freelander 2)

CAUTION: Antifreeze concentration should be maintained at 50%.

1. Check the specific gravity of the coolant using a density meter.

NOTE: A suitable density meter can be ordered through the equipment program (part number 511 3302 001 00).

2. Top up with coolant if necessary. For more information, refer to the chapter: Specifications (303-03B Engine Cooling - 2.2L Duratorq - Td4, Specifications).

Check/top up

WARNING: Never remove the coolant expansion tank cap when the system is hot, as steam or coolant released from the cap could cause serious injury, such as scalding.

Coolant may damage paintwork if it comes into contact with it. If coolant is spilled, remove it immediately and wash the area with water.

Always top up the system with a 50% mixture of antifreeze and water.

• Check the coolant level in the expansion tank. When the engine is cold, the coolant level should reach the UPPER LEVEL mark above the COLD FILL RANGE inscription on the wall of the expansion tank. You should not pay attention to traces of coolant in the upper part of the tank.
• If it is necessary to top up the coolant, remove the expansion tank cap and top up the coolant to the UPPER LEVEL mark. For more information, refer to the chapter: Specifications (303-03B Engine Cooling - 2.2L Duratorq - Td4, Specifications).
• Replace the expansion tank cap and close it until it clicks.

Replacing the coolant

Every 10 years: Replace the coolant. For additional information, refer to the chapter: Draining/Filling Coolant and Bleeding the Cooling System (303-03B Engine Cooling - 2.2L Duratorq - Td4, General Procedures).
