GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
Care
of car

Regular
and
careful
care
helps
to

maintain
the
value
of the
vehicle.

Furthermore
it can be one of the

stipulations
for the
upholding
of

warranty
claims should corrosion

damage
and
paint
defects
occur.

Every
Volkswagen dealer carries stocks
of

suitable car care materials. The instructions
for use on the container should be followed.

Attention

•
If
misused,
car
care
materials
can
be
injurious
to
health.

•
Car
care
materials
must
al

ways
be
stored
in a
safe
place

where
they
are out of the
reach
of
children.

When
buying
car
care
materials

one
should
select
products

which
do not
damage
the
environ

ment.
Empty
containers
which
these
materials
were in do not be

long
with
household
waste.
Washing

The
best protection against environmental

influences
is frequent washing and waxing.

How
often this treatment
is
required
de

pends,
amongst other things on
how
much
the vehicle is
used,
how
it
is parked (garage, in open under trees etc.),
the
seasons,

weather conditions
and
environmental
in
fluences.

The
longer bird droppings, insects, tree
resin,
road
and
industrial grime,
tar
spots,
soot, road salt
and
other aggressive
ma

terials remain on
the
vehicle paint the more lasting their destructive effect will be. High
temperatures e.g. from strong sunlight
in

tensifies
the
corrosive effect.
In certain circumstances weekly washing

can
be
necessary,
in
other conditions monthly washing
with
appropriate waxing
may
be
fully adequate.
After
the
period when salt
is put on the

roads
the underside
of
the vehicle should al

ways
be
washed thoroughly.
Automatic
wash
plants

The
vehicle paint
is so
durable
that
the ve

hicle
can normally be washed without prob

lems
in an
automatic wash plant. Howeve'
the influence on the paint depends
to
a large extent
on the
design
of the
plant,
the
filter
ing
of
the wash water, the type
of
wash anc

care
material, etc.
If
the paint has a
matt
ap
pearance
after going through
the
wash
plant
or is
even scratched this should
be

brought
to the
notice
of the
plant operate
immediately.
If
necessary
a
different wash
plant should
be
used.

Notes

• Before going through
the
wash plant, apart from
the
usual precautions (closing
windows and sliding roof, retracting the aerial) there
is
nothing further
to
note. How

ever,
to
prevent damage
the
door mirrors

should
be
folded
in.

•
If
there are special
fittings
on the vehicle - such as spoilers, roof rack, two-way radio
aerial
etc.
it is
best
to
speak
to the
plant operator.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Paint damage

Small marks in the paint such as scratches
or stone damage should be touched up im mediately with paint (Volkswagen touch-up
stick or spray can) before the metal starts to rust.
However, should rust be found at any time
it must be removed thoroughly and then the
area treated first with an anti-corrosion primer and then the correct paint applied.
You can of course have this work done by a
Volkswagen dealer.
The number of the original vehicle paint is given on the data sticker (see page 154 ).

Windows
Remove snow and ice from windows and
mirrors with a plastic scraper only. To avoid
scratches due to dirt on the glass, the
scraper should only be pushed in one direc
tion and not moved to and fro.
Traces of rubber, oil, wax, grease or silicone
can be removed with a window cleaning
sol
ution or a silicone remover.
The windows should also be cleaned on the inside at regular intervals. Do not dry the windows with the leather
used for the paintwork because traces of
paint cleaner will cause streaks to appear on
the glass.
To avoid damaging the
heating element
wires
in the rear window do not put
stickers over the wires on the inside.

Door, boot
and
window
weatherstrips

The weatherstrips will remain flexible and last longer if they are rubbed lightly with a
rubber protective compound from time to

time.
This will also stop the weatherstrips
from freezing on in the winter.

Plastic parts
and
leatherette

Exterior plastic parts are cleaned with nor
mal washing and interior parts with a damp

cloth.
If this is not sufficient, these parts and leatherette may only be cleaned with

special solvent-free
plastic cleaners.
Curtains

The curtains may only be cleaned chemi cally. They should not be washed as the.
could shrink, and/or the fire-resistant properties could be washed out.

Upholstery cloth
and
textile
trim

Upholstery cloth and textile trim on doc-
panels, parcel shelves, luggage compart ment covers, headlining etc. must be
cleaned with special cleaners or dry foarr
and a soft brush.

Cleaning seat belts Keep belts clean
because they may nc:
retract properly if very dirty.
Dirty belts can be cleaned by washing with
a mild soap solution without taking the belt; out of the vehicle.

Note
Inertia reel belts should be completely dr.
before they are allowed to roll up.
