Changes to the functioning of the rain

Possible causes  for faults  and misinterpretations 
concerning  the sensitive surface~ Fig. 90 of the 
rain  sensor  include: 
• Damaged  wiper blades:  a film of water  or 
smears  caused by damaged  wiper blades 
can in
crease  the length of time  for which  the wipers are 
switched  on, shorten  the length of the intervals be
tween  wipes, or cause  the wipers  to run continu

• Insects:  insects hitting the surface  can cause 
the wipers  to be  activated. 
•  Salt deposits : in winter,  salt deposits  can cause 
the wiper  to continue  to wipe  the windscreen when 
it is  almost  dry. 
•  Soiling : dry dust,  wax, windscreen  coatings (lo· 
tus effect) or detergent  deposits (automatic car 
wash) can cause  the rain  sensor  to become less 
sensitive  and react  too slowly or even  not at all.

r-T'n First read and observe the introductory 
L-WJ information and safety warnings~ on 
page 281. 
The  engine  oil used  must correspond  exactly to 
specifications . 
The  correct  engine oil is important  for the  function 
and  service l
ife of the  engine . A  special  high quali
ty multigrade  oil has  been filled at the  factory  and 
th is  can 
normally be  used  as an all-season  oil. 
If possible , only  use Volkswagen-approved  engine 
o il 
~CD. To comply  with the requirements of the 
flexible  service, only  use approved  flexible service 
engine  oil  that 
complies with  the corresponding 
VW standard (~table on page  282). The  engine 
o ils  listed  are 
multigrade high-lubricity oils. 
Engine  oils are constantly  being developed  and 
im
proved . A  Volkswagen  dealership is always  kept 
up to date  on innovations . Volkswagen  therefore 
recommends  having engine  oil changes  done by a 
Volkswagen  dealership.  The 
qu
ality of the engine  oil is not  only  ta ilor ed to 
the  requirements of engines  and exhaust gas treat. 
ment  systems,  but also  to fuel quality . Due to the 
way 
in which  a combustion  engine works, engine 
oil  always  comes into contact  with  combustion 
resl
dues  and fuel,  which  has  a kno ck-o n effect on the 
ageing  process of the oil. 
The quality of fuels can  var y gr ea tly  between lndl· 
vidual  markets  and this must  be  take n Into account 
when  selecting  the correct  engine oil. 
The use of engine oils compliant  with the 
VW 
504  00 und VW 507  00 specific ations requires 
a fuel  quality  compliant  with EN 228 (petrol) and 
EN 590 (diesel). Engine oils compliant with 
VW 
504  00 und VW 507  00 are therefore unsult· 
able for use in a large number of markets.
