Engine cooling system 1300 Turbo is closed type, with an expansion tank. The coolant pump is located on the right side of the engine and is driven by a V-belt. There is a thermostat on the left side of the head. When the engine is cold, it allows the fluid to flow from the pump directly to the hull and return through a bypass line. After the engine is warm, the thermostat closes the bypass line and fluid flows through the radiator. A heater and a recharging compressor are also connected to the cooling system. The cooling system components come from the engine 1300.

The second stage of the fan is turned on at a temperature of 90…94° C and turned off when the temperature drops to 85…89°C.
