Diesel engines
Diesel fuel
to DIN 51 601. eN1) not lower than 45.
Driving in winter
When using summer Diesel trouble may be experienced at temperatures below Ooe because the fuel thickens due to wax separ­
ation.
For this reason, w inter Diesel which
is more
resistant to cold is sold during the winter in Germany, and this works satisfactorily
down to between -15 and -22°e, depend­
ing on the type of fuel used.
In countries with different climatic condi­
tions the Diesel fuels offered have a differ­
ent temperature characteristic. Check with
Volkswagen dealers or filling stations
in the
country concerned regarding the character­
istic s of Diesel fuels.
Filter preheating
The vehicle is fitted with a filter preheater.
This will ensure , that the fuel system re­mains operational down to about -25°e provided that winter Diesel which is cold re­sistant down to -15°e is used. Diluting with
petrol is then no longer necessary under
these conditions.
If, at temperatures below -25°e the fuel is waxed to such an extent that the engine w ill
not sta rt it is sufficient to place the vehicle in a warm room for a while .
Fuel additives (anti-waxing agents) and
similar fluids must not be mixed with the
Diesel fuel.
