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.

Test and setting conditions
•Tyre inflation pressure O.K.
•Lenses must neither be damaged nor soiled.
•Reflectors and bulbs O.K.
•Vehicle load must be achieved.
Load: With an individual or 75 kg on the driver's seat in an
otherwise unladen vehicle (dead weight).
The unladen weight is the weight of the vehicle with full
fuel tank (at least 90 %) including the weight of all the op-
erational equipment elements (e.g. spare wheel, tool kit,
jack etc.).
The vehicle must have rolled a few metres or have been
depressed a few times at the front and rear to allow the
springs to settle.
•Both the vehicel and headlight beam setting device
must be on a level flat surface.
•Align the vehicle and headlight beam setting device in
accordance with the device manufaturer's indications.
•Check the control system of vehicles equipped with
headlight beam control by repeatedly turning the
thumbwheel in the dash panel. Then turn the thum-
bwheel to basic position.
•Set the inclination value.
Inclination value:
The inclination value is marked in „%“ at the top of the
headlight housing. The main headlights must be set to
this value. The percentage value applies up to 10 metres
projection distance. This will be 12 cm for an inclination
value of e.g. 1.2 %.
Inspecting headlight beam setting and adjusting
if necessary
Main headlights:
–Check whether the horizontal light/dark limit touches
the separation mark -1- on the test surface when the
low beam light is on .
–Check whether the kink -2- between the left horizontal
part and the ascending right part of the light/dark limit
intersects with the central mark -3- on the vertical line.
The light core of the light beam must be located to the
right of the vertical line.132

The materials and the corresponding work instructions
are listed in the ⇒Technical Service Handbook, Part 6 -
Technology of paint repairs, chemical materials.
Inspecting plenum chamber and water
drain openings for dirt, cleaning if neces-
sary
Carry out a visual inspection for soiling through the cover
of the plenum chamber -arrows-. Remove the cover if it is
necessary to clean the plenum chamber (repair meas-
ure).
The water drain openings must not be blocked with wax
or underbody sealant.
Windscreen wiper/washer system:
Check for proper operation
Fluid in windscreen washer fluid reservoir
The fluid reservoir for the windscreen washer system
must be filled up to the brim.
♦If it is necessary to add fluid, always mix windscreen
cleaner to the water (in summer) or antifreeze agent
(in the winter).
♦If the vehicle is fitted with a headlight washing system
and the headlights have plastic - (polycarbonate) -
lenses, one must only use fluids for topping up the
headlight washing system which do not damage the
polycarbonate.
Inspecting setting of nozzles of windscreen
washer system, adjusting nozzles if necessary:
Nozzles of windscreen washer system
The nozzles on the windscreen washer system are set by
the manufacturer and cannot be subsequently altered.
–The water spray should strike the windscreen in a
cone-shaped pattern.
If the spray flows out unevenly, replace the spray nozzle
(repair measure).
Windscreen wiper arms: Inspecting park posi-
tion, adjusting if necessary
–Wiper arms are positioned relative to the round mark-
ings in the windscreen.
