ures or operational problems. Replacing the timing belt is
a repair measure.

for camshaft drive (1.9 SDI engines)
–Removing and installing the toothed belt
⇒Rep. Gr. 13; 1.9/47 SDI engine, Mechanics.
Inspecting engine oil level
When inspecting, pay attention to the following points:
Before inspecting, warm up the engine to normal temper-
ature.
Wait at least 3 minutes after switching off the engine to al-
low the oil to flow back into the oil pan.
–Withdraw dipstick, wipe off with a clean cloth and re-
insert dipstick fully.
–Withdraw dipstick once again and read off oil level.
Fig. 1: Oil dipstick version I
Fig. 2: Oil dipstick version ll
The oil level in area -a-
–The oil must be topped up. It is sufficient when the oil
level rises to the area -b-.
The oil level in area -b-
–The oil can be topped up. It is possible that the oil level
will rise to the area -c-.
The oil level in area -c-
–The oil must not be topped up.
♦The oil level must not, under any circumstances, be
above area -a- - danger of damage to the catalytic
converter.
♦The vehicle must be standing on level ground when
measuring the oil level. Wait a few minutes after
switching off the engine to allow the oil to flow back
into the oil pan.
Change engine oil
♦The engine oil should always be changed, if possible,
when the engine is at normal operating temperature.
♦If the engine oil is drained, replace the seal of the oil
drain plug.
