Diesel B57: What To Fill In Where?

[emax]

I have not found any pictures or graphics in the manual which explains which liquids have to be filled in where.

I found
A) ... ?
B) ... ?
C) ... ?
D) motor oil
E) wiping water
F) ... ?

Questions:

1. Can you fill in the blanks?
2. If known: spec of the liquidf?
3. If known: amount?
4. Did I miss something?

I have asked about the type of diff oil too but no reply yet only the capacity.

 

[bmore_burnsy]

A and B are definitely for blinker fluid

 

[emax]

At first I wondered if I was the only clueless one here.

Obviously, I am not.

I thought BMWs didn’t have blinker fluid

I believe the table attached provides details of the liquids

Only Ineos brand fluid to be used apparently!

The table is unfortunately unreadable.

But even if, it's unclear to me which in which container - A,B,C,D,E,F - what goes.

 

[DCPU]

A) ... High pressure coolant tank
B) ... Low pressure coolant tank
C) ... Brake fluid reservoir
D) motor oil
E) wiping water
F) ...Power steering fluid ~ "the German green stuff" - CHF 11S

A) ... High pressure coolant tank - BMW green Frostox HT-12
B) ... Low pressure coolant tank - BMW green Frostox HT-12
C) ... Brake fluid reservoir - DOT4
D) motor oil
E) wiping water
F) ...Power steering fluid ~ "the German green stuff" - CHF 11S

"Frostox HT-12 anti-freeze and corrosion inhibitor was originally introduced from 03/2018 exclusively in technical campaigns for selected BMW vehicles. As of 07/2018, some series are factory-filled with Frostox HT-12 from new.

This coolant can be mixed with distilled or deionised water. The mixture ratio is 1:1. This provides antifreeze protection down to -40°C."

@DCPU Thanks a lot!

 

[DCPU]

My pleasure, I've learnt all about Frostox HT-12, a product I'd never heard about before and my life is all the richer for it.

Perhaps I can add a little to your knowledge (but may be you already know). It's a VW product as well and produced by Valvoline:

HT-12 Green Coolant - Valvoline™ Global Europe - EN

Das Kühlmittel Valvoline Multi-Vehicle ist ein Kühlschutzmittel das sich als universelle Lösung für PKWs und leichte Nutzfahrzeuge anbietet. Es ist als Konzentrat oder als einsatzbereites Kühlmittel erhältlich.

In Germany there is a supplier which a comparably low price:

BMW Kühlerfrostschutz Frostox HT-12 1,5l

<h2>Frostox HT-12 ist ein Hybrid-Kühlmittel mit Si-OAT Korrosionsschutztechnologie, bei der die Bauteile des Kühlsystems (Metalle, Elastomere und Kunststoffe) mit einer dünnen Schicht überzogen werden.</h2> <p>Das Kühlmittel schützt nachhaltig alle Bauteile des Kühlersystems und damit des Motors...

Yes, apparently there is even more I can know.

But no tests of retained knowledge please.

Thanks go out to the members who provided this information and imagery.
Message me with any errors and these can be rectified.

Likewise if someone gets an image of the petrol version we can get that created as well.

Apart from the engine oil spec then should be the same as filler caps are in the same position on my petrol model

Updated.

I don't know if it's worth noting that @emax's annotated photo is a RHD, and a LHD will have some things in different places?

Some things yes, others no, I guess not those cooling fluid reservoirs, you can compare two Petrol cars here, one RHD, the other LHD
