DO-IT-YOURSELF

Lifting
vehicle

Trolley
jack

To
prevent damage to the underside of the vehicle it is essential to use
a
suitable rubber

On
no account should the vehicle be
lifted
under the engine, gearbox,
rear axle or
front
axle as this can

cause
serious damage.
Attention
• With the vehicle
lifted
never start the engine - danger of
acci­

dent!
• If work has to be done under­ neath the vehicle, the vehicle
must be supported on suitable

stands.
Vehicle
lift

Before driving over the vehicle
lift,

ensure
that
there is adequate clear­

ance
between
lift
superstructure
and low parts on underside of ve­
hicle.

To
lift
the Caravelle/Transporter only
twin
column/pillar hoists
with
sufficiently long
support arms should be
used.

Only
as an exception - for short wheel base

vehicles
in unladen condition - can a single
column hoist be
used.

Hoists
with
fluid cushions (Repair reception hoists) must not be used
to
lift
this vehicle.

The vehicle may only be

DESCRIPTION

Attention
Due to high temperatures which
can occur in the catalytic
con­

verter in very unfavourable conditions, the vehicle should not be parked so that the catalyt­
ic converter can come into
con­

tact with inflammable materials.
If whilst driving, the engine mis­
fires, loses power and runs uneven­ ly,
this
could be due to a fault in the ignition system. In a
case
like this,
unburnt fuel can enter the exhaust
system and then escape to atmos­
phere.
Furthermore, the catalytic
converter could become damaged
due to overheating. The vehicle
speed must be reduced immediately
and the defect should be eliminated
at the nearest Volkswagen dealer.
Note
Even
in the
case
of a
perfectly working
ex­

haust emission control system there can, under certain engine operating conditions,
be
a
sulphur-type exhaust
smell.

This
depends upon
the
sulphur content
in
the fuel being
used.
Quite often this can
be
remedied
by
select­
ing another brand
of
fuel
or,
filling
up
with

unleaded premium petrol.
50
kW
Diesel
engine

An
oxidation catalytic converter
is
fitted
in

the exhaust system
of
this Diesel engine.
It
consists
of
a steel-cased ceramic body
con­

taining
a
multitude
of
longitudinal
passages

which are vapour coated
with
platinum. The catalytic converter largely eliminates
the
unpleasant smelling hydrocarbons
and

turns carbon monoxide
into
carbon dioxide.
In addition
an
exhaust
gas
turbocharger
forces
air
into
the
cylinder, causing
the
en­
gine
to
operate
with
a high
excess
of
air. The
fuel which is then injected in is so complete­ ly
burnt,
that
under
full
load soot is no longer
visible
in the
exhaust.

As
the
diesel engine catalytic converter
does
not get
hotter than
a
conventional
ex­
haust system, under normal conditions
there
is
nothing special
to be
noted, this

applies
also
to
parking.
The system does
not
require any additional

care
or
maintenance.
Activated
charcoal
filter*

Vehicles
with
a
regulated catalytic
con­

verter,
in
Germany
and
other export countries, have
a
fuel system which
in­

cludes
an activated charcoal
filter
(petrol va­pour accumulator).
The activated charcoal
filter
prevents
the

fuel vapour escaping
into
the
atmosphere.

These
vapours
pass
into
a
container filled

with
activated charcoal and, when
the en­
gine
is
stationary they
are
accumulated
in

the activated charcoal. When
the
engine
is
running,
the
container
is
automatically
ventilated
by
opening
a
valve
and the
fuel
vapour
is fed
into
the
engine
for
combus­
tion.
The system works completely automati­

cally
and
is
maintenance-free.

DESCRIPTION

Body
• Unitary construction body/ chassis • Floor frame reinforced by side and cross members
• Long term body protection
with
special high-quality materials-this makes possible
the long warranty period for paint defects
and
rust penetration (see Service Schedule)
Environment
compatibil­

ity Protection of the environment played a de­

cisive
role in the construction, selection of materials and manufacture. Amongst other
things special attention was given to the fol­ lowing points:

Constructive
measures
for econ­
omic recycling
• Disassembly-friendly design of joints
•
Easier
disassembly by modular
con­
struction methods
• Improved
purity
of materials
• All larger plastic parts marked in accord­
ance
with
VDA recommendation 260.

Selection
of
material

• Refrigerant for air conditioner*
CFC
free
• Materials which can be recycled are
used
as far as possible
• Use of similar plastic
within
an assembly group
• Use of materials which have been re­
cycled

• PVC not
used,
when possible to use an alternative material
• No Cadmium
• No Asbestos
• No leaded paint
• Reduction in vapours emitted by plastics
Manufacture

• Recycled material used for the manufac­
ture
of plastic parts
• Solvents abandoned for the cavity
seal­
ing
• Use of water based paints
• Solvent free transport preservation • Use of solvent free bonding agents
•
CFCs
abandoned as far as possible dur­ ing manufacture
• Surplus material recycled as far as
poss­
ible to gain energy and manufacturing sup­

port
materials
• The water required during manufacture
is
reprocessed.

etc. and

service
installation

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

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