Only use engine oils:
QGO, QG2
Specification VW 505 01 or VW 505 00 (oil according
to VW 505 00 cannot be used for TDI PD - engines)
Oils may be intermixed when topping up.
In exceptional cases:
Multigrade oils according to ACEA B3 or B4. Such oils
must only be used once for topping up within the speci-
fied oil change interval if, in exceptional cases, no ap-
proved engine oil is available.
QG1
Specification VW 506 01 or VW 506 00 (oil according
to VW 506 00 cannot be used for TDI PD - engines)
–Close the oil filler opening again.
–Start engine and check for leaks.
–Check the engine oil level again and top up with oil if
necessary.
–Wait at least 3 minutes after topping up the oil again
before inspecting the oil level again.
–Install the noise insulation.
The oil level must not be above the -max- marking to
avoid damage to the catalytic converter. See Inspecting
engine oil level ⇒02-3 page 8.
Inspecting antifreeze protection, replen-
ishing coolant additive if necessary
♦Collect drained coolant for proper disposal.
♦Observe the disposal instructions for the drained cool-
ant.
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and
auxiliary items required
♦Refractomer -T10007-
Inspecting antifreeze protection of the coolant
♦The refractometer -T10007- may, for example, be
used for inspecting the antifreeze protection of the
coolant.
Note
WARNING!
Coolant additives are toxic!
Do not inhale coolant vapours, do not swallow
coolant, avoid contact with skin and eyes; haz-
ardous if consumed!

–Perform a test drive and again check the coolant anti-
freeze protection.
Inspecting coolant level (volume)
–The coolant expansion reservoir is located on the right
of the engine compartment.
–Inspect coolant level only when the engine is not run-
ning.
Specified coolant level for the Inspection Service:
•Engine cold: between„MAX“ and „MIN“ marking.
•Engine warm: slightly above the „MAX“ marking.
♦The cooling system is filled all year round with a mix-
ture of water and antifreeze/anti-corrosion agent.
Coolant additives prevent damage from frost and cor-
rosion and the accumulation of lime scale while also
raising the boiling point of the coolant. For these rea-
sons the cooling system must always be filled all year
round with radiator antifreeze and anti-corrosion
agent offering these properties.
♦Coolant additive G12 - red in colour, complying with
standard TL VW 774 D, must not be mixed with other
coolant additives which comply with standard TL VW
774 C(B) -bluish-green in colour-. If these two coolant
additives are mixed the coolant will turn brown. Brown
coolant must be drained immediately, the cooling sys-
tem flushed out with drinking water and filled with
fresh coolant. If this is not done the engine and cooling
system may suffer damage. Engine Coolant capacity

Ribbed V-belt: Inspect condition
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and
auxiliary items required
♦Wrench socket
Perform the following procedure:
–Raise vehicle.
–Remove bottom engine compartment cover at right.
–Use a socket wrench to crank the engine at the belt
pulley -2-.
–Check ribbed V-belt for:
♦Splits in the carcass (initial splits, splits in core, splits
across carcass).
♦Separation of layers (top layer, cords).
♦Sections of carcass broken out.
♦Fraying of cords.
♦Wear to sides (abrasion of material, frayed sides,
hardening of sides, glazed and hardened surfaces).
♦Traces of oil and grease.
♦Correct tension (vehicles without tensioning pulley).
♦It is essential to replace the V-ribbed belt if defects are
found. This will help prevent any operational prob-
lems. Replacing the ribbed V-belt is a repair measure.
♦Engines fitted with an AC compressor are equipped
with a double ribbed V-belt.
