headlights

When the vehicle is used in a country which drives on the opposite side
of
the road to the
home country,
the
asymmetric dipped neadlights
will
dazzle oncoming
traffic.

To prevent this,
the
wedge-shaped sector on the headlight lenses must be covered
up

with
an
opaque adhesive strip.
The illustration shows
the
strip installed
for

the change
from
right
hand
to
left
hand
traffic.
Installing
radio

When service installing
a
radio
or
replacing
a
set
installed
by the
factory
the
following points should
be
noted:
•
The
connection*
in the
vehicle
is for
Genuine
Volkswagen radios11
from
Model

Year
1988. The supply plug has the following
wire colours and connections:
Red/white Permanent positive
(+)

Brown Negative
(-)
vehicle earth
Grey/blue
Instrument
panel lighting
Brown/red* Control wire
for
"Ignition
key" switching radio
on/

off. On no account use this
connection
for
operating
voltage supply.
Blue/white*
Speed
signal
for
automatic volume control
•
Radios
with
other connections must
be
connected
with
an adapter cable which can

also
be obtained
from
a Volkswagen dealer.
11 Not available
in all
export markets
Attention

On
no account cut wires off and
leave
them
without
insulation. If

necessary
use a proper adapter.
Otherwise the wiring can be
overloaded or short circuits can
occur
- Fire danger!
Apart from this important elec­
tronic components can be damaged or the functioning impaired. If for
example the speed signal is
dis­

turbed this can lead to
faulty
man­ agement of engine, automatic gear­box, ABS etc.

Even
connecting the speed signal to
radio sets
with
speed dependent
vol­
ume control from other manufac­
turers can cause
such
faults.

DO-IT-YOURSELF
• The radios from the Genuine Volks­ wagen Accessory Programme11 are similar
to those used in the factory and ensure
trouble-free installation. These sets are in keeping
with
the advanced technology and
well-planned easy-to-operate design. In
Germany
there is also an Exchange Service
for these radios so
that
even after years of
use
a set requiring repair can be exchanged

cheaply
for a completely reconditioned,

good-as-new
set by a Volkswagen dealer.
• Loudspeakers,
fitting
parts, aerials and
suppression
kits should also be taken from
the Genuine Volkswagen Accessory
Pro­

gramme11. These parts have all been

specially
developed for each vehicle model. • When installing the aerial it is essential to
ensure
that
the hole provided by the factory
where the aerial enters the body is sealed
very carefully. In addition the aerial cable,
the connecting wires and the loudspeaker
wires must be routed so
that
they cannot
chafe,
rattle
or get tangled up
with
moving parts (e.g. pedals, steering, heating controls
etc.). Otherwise the operation of the
con­

trols may be affected or vehicle safety im­
paired.

In
cases
of doubt, exact information can be
obtained from Volkswagen dealers.

A
- Flat battery
B
- Boosting battery
The battery is located in the engine com­ partment.
If the engine will not start because the ba:-
tery is
flat,
jumper
cables can be
con­
nected to the battery of another vehicle tc
start the engine. The following points
should be noted:
• Both batteries must be of the 12 Volt var­ iety and the capacity (Ah) of the booster bat­
tery must be approximately the same as

that
of the
flat
battery.
• The jumper cables must be heav enough to carry the load. Note cable manu­
facturer's data.

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

5 ET • The V-belts are among the most severe­
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.
