4444 (no faults indicated) or Code 0000 (end of output) appears. To
end code retrieval procedure, reconnect jumper cable to data link
connectors or turn ignition off.
3) To erase fault codes, turn ignition off. Connect jumper
cable and turn ignition on. Leave jumper cable attached for 5 seconds,
until CHECK ENGINE light begins to blink.
4) When light displays code 4444 (no faults indicated),
reconnect jumper cable to data link connectors or turn ignition off to
end code clearing procedure. Fault memory is now erased.Fig. 1: Retrieving Fault Codes (Typical)

1983-96 MAINTENANCE
Volkswagen Maintenance Reminder Light Reset Procedures
EGR MAINTENANCE LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
EGR light comes on at 15,000 mile intervals to indicate EGR
servicing is required. After checking EGR system, reset mileage
counter. See RESETTING MILEAGE COUNTER.
OXYGEN SENSOR WARNING LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
Oxygen sensor (OXS) light comes on at 30,000 mile intervals
to indicate oxygen sensor replacement. After installing new sensor,
reset mileage counter. See RESETTING MILEAGE COUNTER.
RESETTING MILEAGE COUNTER (IF EQUIPPED)
1) On some Rabbit and Pickup models, remove instrument panel
cover plate. Reach into opening at top left corner of speedometer and
pull release arm to reset counter. See Fig. 1. Left arm resets EGR
counter, right arm resets oxygen sensor.
2) On Vanagon models, locate mileage counter under spare tire
or under driver's floorboard (in-line with speedometer cable). Using a
pointed instrument, depress reset button. Ensure light is out.
3) On all other models, locate mileage counter (in-line with
speedometer cable) and push White reset button. See Fig. 1. Ensure
light is out.Fig. 1: Resetting Mileage Counters

flash for approximately 3 seconds in odometer display window as
ignition is turned on. When servicing becomes due (every 7500 miles),
appropriate service code will flash for approximately 60 seconds. The
four service codes available for display are as follows:
* IN 00 (No Service Necessary)
* OEL (Oil Change Service) Every 7500 Miles
* IN 01 (Inspection Service) Every 15,000 Miles
* IN 02 (Additional Servicing Work) Every 30,000 Miles
2) After performing required maintenance, each effected
service code displayed must be reset individually. For example, at 15,
000 miles service codes OEL and IN 01 will both need to be reset.
3) To reset service codes, turn ignition on. Press and hold
odometer reset button located below speedometer. While holding button,
press clock reset button (lower button for digital clock) located to
left of fuel gauge. Release buttons. Programming mode is now
activated. Service code OEL1.S (distance counter) should be displayed.
4) Press clock reset button once more. 7500 miles should now
be indicated on display. Desired mileage for reset may be attained by
pressing clock reset button. Mileage displayed will decrease in
increments of 500 miles each time button is pressed. This feature
should only be used to calibrate mileage when instrument cluster is
replaced. When desired mileage is displayed, press odometer reset
button.
5) Service code OEL2.S (time counter) should be displayed.
Press clock reset button. 6 (months) will be indicated on display.
Time counter for next oil change may be set by pressing clock reset
button if instrument cluster was replaced. When desired time is
displayed, press odometer reset button.
6) Service code IN 01.S (time counter) should be displayed.
Press clock reset button. 12 (months) will be indicated on display.
Time counter for next maintenance interval may be set by pressing
clock reset button if instrument cluster was replaced. When desired
time is displayed, press odometer reset button.
7) Service code IN 02.S (distance counter) should be
displayed. Press clock reset button. 30,000 (miles) will be indicated
on display. Desired mileage for reset may be attained by pressing
clock reset button. Mileage displayed will decrease in increments of
500 miles each time button is pressed. This feature should only be
used to calibrate mileage when instrument cluster is replaced. When
desired mileage is displayed, turn ignition off. Programming is now
stored in memory.

To avoid possible damage to vehicle use only ethylene-glycol
based coolants with a mixture ratio from 44-68% anti-freeze.
DO NOT use 100% anti-freeze as it will cause the formation
of cooling system deposits. This results in coolant
temperatures of over 300ø F (149øC) which can melt plastics.
100% anti-freeze has a freeze point of only -8
ø F (-22øC).
CAUTION: Propylene-Glycol Mixtures has a smaller temperature range
than Ethylene-Glycol. The temperature range (freeze-boil)
of a 50/50 Anti-Freeze/Water Mix is as follows:
Propylene-Glycol -26
ø F (-32øC) - 257ø F (125øC)
Ethylene-Glycol -35
ø F (-37øC) - 263ø F (128øC)
CAUTION: Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol Mixtures can cause the
destabilization of various corrosion inhibitors. Also
Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol has a different specific
gravity than Ethylene-Glycol coolant, which will result in
inaccurate freeze point calculations.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE (ESD) PARTS
WARNING: Many solid state electrical components can be damaged by
static electricity (ESD). Some will display a warning label,
but many will not. Discharge personal static electricity by
touching a metal ground point on the vehicle prior to
servicing any ESD sensitive component.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
WARNING: Contact with live components of ignition system while
engine is running could lead to a fatal electric shock.
ENGINE OIL
CAUTION: Never use non-detergent or straight mineral oil.
FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE
WARNING: Relieve fuel system pressure prior to servicing any fuel
system component (fuel injection models).
HALOGEN BULBS
Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if
overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare hands. Eye
protection should be worn when handling or working around halogen
bulbs.
RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the
