Fuel
consumption

Passenger
vehicle
models

The consumption figures are determined
according to EC guideline 80/1268 EEC.
Three different conditions are used for the
test:
• The measurements for 90 km/h (56 mph) and • 120 km/h (75 mph) are carried out at

a
constant test
speed.

• For the
urban
measurement normal town
traffic
driving is simulated. Depending on driving style, road and
traffic

conditions, environmental influences and
vehicle condition, the figures obtained in actual practice may differ from those given.

All
figures were measured
with
standard
tyres. On vehicles
with
other tyres the fig­ ures will vary accordingly.

These consumption figures were deter-
Tiined
in accordance with DIN 70030 Part 2
(July 1978 Edition) with half payload at a
constant 3/4 of top speed (but not more
than 80 km/h) plus 10 %. Depending on driving style, road and traffic
conditions, environmental influences and
vehicle condition, the figures obtained in
actual practice may differ from those given. All figures were measured with standarc

tyres.
On vehicles with other tyres the
fig­

ures will vary accordingly.

Spark
plugs

V-belts

The
spark plugs are renewed during the

Volkswagen
Inspection Service If the spark plugs have to be renewed be­
tween the Inspection
Services,
the follow­ ing should be noted:
• Engine, spark plugs and ignition system are matched to one another. To avoid faulty
operation and even engine damage only the
Genuine
Volkswagen spark plugs for the en­
gine concerned should be
used.
Important,

among other things, are the number of elec­
trodes, the heat value and if necessary the radio suppression.
• The plugs may be, for technical reasons,
changed
at short notice during the current model year. It is therefore advisable to ob­
tain plugs only from Volkswagen dealers -
they have the latest information

ly stressed parts of a vehicle. The belts
must therefore be subjected to very high
quality requirements.
• When renewing a belt it is not sufficient to use
just
any belt of the same
size.
For
safe
operation only the special Genuine

Volkswagen
belt for the vehicle concerned
should
be
used.
The correct belts can be ob­
tained from Volkswagen dealers under the
Genuine
Part number given.
• The V-belts may be, for technical
rea­
sons,
changed at short notice during the
current model year. It is therefore advisable
to obtain V-belts only from Volkswagen
dealers
- they have the latest information.

Wheels

The tyre/wheel combinations in the table are valid for steel and alloy wheels. Details
on whether other tyres or wheels can be
used
can be obtained from Volkswagen

dealers.

For
winter tyres the most suitable tyre/
wheel combination is given. The winter
tyre
recommendation applies also to All-
weather tyres. Further remarks on the use of winter tyres are given on page 114.
Attention

If you
wish
to fit
your
car

Attention

The

must
be
checked
at
least
once
a
month.

They
are
very
important
particu­
larly
at
high
speeds-see
page

These
pressures are for cold tyres. When
tyres are warm the pressure is higher but do
not reduce it.
The inflation pressures are given on a sticker on the inside of the driver's door lock pillar. As the pressures may be altered at
short notice fortechnical reasons there may

• Other model versions

tras
-
e.g.
air
conditioner, automatic gear­box, sliding
roof,
towing bracket
etc. and

service
installation
of
accessories
in­

creases
the unladen weight and the payload
has
to be
reduced
by
this amount.
•
The
load must
be
stowed
so
that
it
can­
not slide about
or fly
forward when
the

brakes
are
applied.
If
necessary
use the
lashing eyes provided. • When carrying heavy loads,
the
load

should,
in
the
interests
of
good handling,
be
placed,
where possible, between
the
axles.
The permissible axle
and
gross vehicle weights must
not be
exceeded
on any
ac­
count. Bear
in
mind also
that
the
load will
alter
the
vehicle handling. Driving style
and
speed
must therefore
be
adapted
to
suit. Without driver

Use
only
the
roof load carrying system
ap­

proved
by us.
Distribute load evenly.
Do not

exceed
permissible roof load including roof rack
- and
permissible vehicle weight.
For

further
details see page
75

On
vehicles
with
a
pop-up roof
the
unladen
weight
is
increased
by 60 kg
and which corre­
spondingly reduces
the
payload.
