The cooling system is standard thermostatically controlled, elevated pressure. The thermostat is located: on the M10 engine – in the lower hose of a radiator, on M20 – in the case, in a forward part of the engine and on M40 – under the top cover of a gear belt.

The stopper with the control valve on 4-cylinder engines is in a radiator stopper, on 6-cylinder – in the top part of a transparent plastic tank. Pressure of operation of the valve – either 1,0, or 1,2 atm.
