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!
Note
