Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the engine is cool before starting. Drain any existing coolant to avoid spills.
2. Remove Old Flange: Loosen and remove the old cooling flange using a socket wrench. Clean the mating surface thoroughly.
3. Apply Gasket: Place a new gasket on the flange’s sealing surface, aligning it with the bolt holes.
4. Attach V25-0686 Flange: Position the flange onto the coolant passage and secure it with bolts. Tighten in a cross-pattern to ensure even pressure.
5. Refill Coolant: Refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant mixture, then bleed air from the system following manufacturer guidelines.
6. Check for Leaks: Start the engine and monitor the temperature gauge. Inspect the flange area for any signs of leakage.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the gasket surface for wear or damage, especially after extended use.
• Flush the cooling system at least once a year to remove sediment and maintain optimal flow.
• Use high-quality coolant that meets OEM specifications to prevent corrosion and scale buildup.
