Checking the level and adding coolant BMW X5 F15 2013 - 2016

Parts and consumables:

• Coolant
• Funnel (if necessary)

Notes:

To check the liquid level, we place the car on a flat horizontal platform. We carry out the check on a cold engine.

Coolant consists of water and a coolant additive. Use only suitable additives, otherwise engine damage may occur. Additives are harmful to health. Not all additives sold are suitable for the vehicle. Ask a service center for suitable additives.

Do not open the cooling system when the engine is hot, otherwise you may get burned by the escaping coolant.

Checking the level and adding coolant BMW X5

1. To add coolant, open the hood.

The filler neck of the coolant reservoir is located at the rear of the engine compartment, on the left in the direction of travel of the vehicle.

2. Turn the coolant reservoir cap counterclockwise until excess pressure is released, then the cap can be removed.

Note:

The coolant level is correct if it is between the minimum and maximum marks in the filler neck.

3. If the coolant level is below the shoulder in the neck, add coolant.

4. Tighten the plug until it clicks. The arrows on the coolant reservoir and the cap must point towards each other.

USEFUL TIPS:

It is convenient to use a funnel to make adding liquid easier. If there is no funnel for adding liquid, you can make a funnel from the neck of a plastic bottle.

If the coolant level in the expansion tank is constantly decreasing, then there is most likely a leak in the cooling system. In this case, it is necessary to check the tightness of the cooling system and eliminate the malfunction.
