General information about the cooling system

The cooling system includes a cross-flow aluminum radiator, thermostat, crankshaft pulley driven coolant pump, and connecting hoses and tubes. The fan of the radiator cooling system is mounted on the shaft of the coolant pump and is switched on from the fluid coupling. The fan shroud is mounted on the heatsink. The radiator filler cap is equipped with a control valve, which is activated at elevated pressure. The plastic coolant expansion tank is connected to the radiator with a hose. The thermostat is mounted in front of the intake manifold. When the engine warms up, the thermostat closes and cuts off the flow of fluid from the radiator, directing it from the cylinder block to the cooling channels of the cylinder head. After the engine warms up, the thermostat opens, as a result of which the liquid enters the radiator, in which the engine cools and re-enters.

On automatic transmission models, a transmission fluid cooler is integrated into the radiator.

The heater includes a separate radiator blown by an electric fan. The temperature is controlled by mixing hot air with cold air using a damper system.

The air conditioning system includes an evaporator installed next to the heater radiator, a condenser installed in front of the radiator of the cooling system, compressor and accumulator.
