CONTROLS

EQUIPMENT

Notes

Pools of
water
under
the
vehicle

• When the ambient temperature is high
and
the air very humid, condensed water

can
drip off the evaporator and form a puddle under the vehicle. This is quite nor

mal
and does not indicate a leak.

Operating
faults

• Should the air conditioner not work at
any
time, either:
- the ambient temperature is below about + 5 degrees C,
- the fuse has blown.

Check
fuse and if necessary renew it - see

page
122. If the trouble is not due to
a
defec
tive fuse, switch the system off and have it
checked.

- the air conditioner has switched off due to the coolant temperature being too high -
see
page 41
also.

• If the cooling
output
drops off, switch the
A/C
off and have the system
checked.
Using air
conditioner

economically
In cooling operation the air conditioner
com

pressor
places demands on the engine and
therefore influences the fuel consumption.

To
keep the period switched on as short as
possible,
the following points should be

noted:

• If the inside temperature is very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun, it is recommended to open doors or win

dows
briefly to enable the hot air to
escape.

• The air conditioner should not be
switched
on during a journey if the windows

or
sliding/tilting
roof*
are open.
• If the desired interior temperature can be attained
without
switching on the air condi
tioner, the fresh air operation should be se
lected.
Recirculating
air
switch

If badly contaminated air is to be prevented
from entering the vehicle, e.g. when driving
through a tunnel, the recirculating air switch in the instrument panel can be
pressed.

When
the recirculating air system is
switched
on, a small warning lamp lights up in the switch.

However,
the recirculating air system

should
only be used for a short period other

wise
the windows will mist up.

GENERAL
MAINTENANCE

Checking
coolant
level

The
expansion tank
is in the
engine
com
partment on the bulkhead
-
see Fig.

The
correct coolant level
is
essential
to
the satisfactory operation
of
cooling system.
For
this reason, the coolant level should
be

checked
regularly,
and
this
is
best done
when refueling.

The
level
can
only
be
checked properly
when engine
is
not running.

The
coolant level must be between the MIN
and
MAX marks
on the
expansion tank
when engine
is
cold
and can be
slightly
above
the MAX mark when
it
is warm.
When
the
coolant level
is too low on ve

hicles
with
an automatic coolant level moni
toring device,
it is
indicated by the coolant
temperature/coolant level warning lamp
flashing continuously (see page 47).

Coolant
losses

Coolant
loss normally indicates leaks in the

system.
In
this
case
the
cooling system
should
be checked by a Volkswagen dealer

without
delay.
It is
not sufficient merely
to

add
coolant.
In
a
sealed system
losses
can only occur
if

the boiling point
of
the coolant is exceeded
as
a
result
of
overheating, and coolant
is

forced out
of
the system.
Overheating can occur
if:

• the flow
of
cooling air is reduced, e.g.
by
a
radiator
muff,
very
dirty
radiator fins
(leaves,
dust, insects)
or
additional driving
lights
in
front
of
the cooling air intake.
• the boiling point
of
the coolant has been lowered by an incorrect mixture
-
see previ

ous
page.
•
the
radiator
fan is not
working
- see
"Fan"
on next page
-
or, • the vehicle
is
driven up
a
long hill
in too

low a gear
with
engine speed very high and
at very high ambient temperatures
-
see
"Fan"
on
next page.
If
the
cause
of the
overheating cannot
be

found
and
eliminated, contact
a
Volks
wagen dealer
as
soon
as
possible other

wise
serious damage may
be
done
to the
engine.

Topping
up
coolant
Switch
engine
off
and let
it
cool down. Then

cover
expansion tank cap
with
a
cloth and

turn
cap carefully
to
the
left
and remove.

Attention
Do
not
remove
expansion
tank

cap
when
engine
is
hot
-
Danger
of scalding.

System
is
under
pressure.

If, in an
emergency only water
can be

added,
the
correct mixture concentration must be restored
with
the specified coolant
additive (see previous page)
as
soon
as
possible.
