WARNING
Operating fluids and some materials in the engine compartment
can catch fire easily, causing burns and other serious personal
injuries!
Never smoke near the engine compartment.
Never work next to open flames or sparks.
Never pour or spill operating fluids or other flammable liq-
uids on the engine. These fluids can ignite on hot engine parts
and cause injuries.
If work on the fuel system or the electrical system is neces-
sary:
– Always disconnect the 12 Volt vehicle battery. Make sure
the vehicle is unlocked when you disconnect the battery, or
the alarm will go off. Never touch the electrical wiring of the
ignition system.
– Never work near heaters, water heaters, or other open
flames.
Always have a functional, approved fire extinguisher nearby.
NOTICE
When changing or topping off fluids, make sure that you pour
the fluids into the correct reservoirs. Adding the wrong type of
operating fluids will cause serious malfunctions and engine
damage.
Fluid leaks and spills are harmful to the environment. Regularly
check the ground underneath your vehicle for this reason. If you find
spots of oil or other fluids, have your vehicle checked by your author-
ized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Dispose of leaked operating fluids properly.

dipstick are located, see your authorized Volkswagen dealer or au-
thorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance.
5. Remove the dipstick from the guide tube and wipe the dipstick off
using a clean cloth.
6. Reinsert the dipstick into the guide tube and push it all the way in. If
there is an alignment tab on the engine oil dipstick, make sure it
lines up with the notch in the guide tube, and that the dipstick goes
all the way in.
7. Remove the dipstick again and read the oil level on the dipstick
⇒ fig. 165 as described below:
(A): Do not add any oil ⇒ . Continue with step 15.
(B): Oil may be added (about 1 pint / 0.5 liter). Continue with step 8
or step 15.
(C): You must add oil (about 1 quart / 1.0 liter). Continue with step
8.
8. After reading the oil level, reinsert the dipstick back into the guide
tube and push it all the way in.
9. Remove the cap on the engine oil filler opening ⇒ fig. 166.
10. Only add engine oil that Volkswagen has approved for that
engine. Add the oil gradually in small quantities (no more than
1 pint / 0.5 liter).
11. To help prevent overfilling, you must wait about 1 minute each
time you add oil so that the oil can flow into the oil pan up to the
marking on the dipstick.
12. Read the oil level on the dipstick again before adding another
small amount, if necessary. Never add too much oil ⇒ .
13. After adding oil, the level must at least be in the center of the
⇒ fig. 165 (B) area, but never above (A) ⇒ .
14. After adding oil, securely install the cap on the engine oil filler
opening. Otherwise, oil could leak out while the engine is running.

Engine oil level ranges

fig. 165 Required action according to the respective en-
gine oil level:
Range (A) Do not refill oil ⇒ .
Range (B) You may add oil (about 1 pint / 0.5 liter). The oil level
may go into the (A) range, but not above the (A)
range.
Range (C) You must add oil (about 1 quart / 1.0 liter). After add-
ing oil, make sure that the oil level is about in the
middle of the (B) range.

WARNING
Engine oil can ignite when it touches hot engine parts. This can
cause fires, burns, and other severe injuries.
Never spill oil on the engine. Oil spilled on a cold engine can
also cause a fire when the engine warms up.
Always make certain that you screw the cap of the engine oil
filler opening back on tightly after adding oil and that the dip-
stick has been pushed all the way back into the in the guide
tube. This helps prevent engine oil from leaking onto the hot
engine when the engine is running.
NOTICE
Do not start the engine if the engine oil level is above range
(A). Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility. Otherwise the catalytic converter
and engine can be damaged!
When changing or topping off fluids, make sure that you pour
the fluids into the correct reservoirs. Adding the wrong type of
operating fluids will cause serious malfunctions and engine
damage.
The engine oil level should never be above range (A). Otherwise
oil can be drawn in by the crankcase ventilation system and enter the
atmosphere via the exhaust system.

WARNING
Improper use of operating fluids and equipment can cause ac-
cidents, serious personal injuries, burns and/or poisoning.
Always store vehicle care products in a safe place in original
containers that are securely closed.
To reduce the risk of poisoning, never use empty food or
beverage containers that might mislead someone into drinking
from them.
Always keep vehicle care products out of the reach of chil-
dren.

on the package before using vehicle care products.
When using products that give off harmful fumes, always
work outdoors or in a well ventilated area.

other volatile fluids for vehicle care. They are poisonous and
highly flammable. They could cause fires and explosions!
NOTICE
Only refill with suitable operating fluids. When changing or
topping off fluids, make sure that you pour the fluids into the
correct reservoirs. Adding incorrect fluids will cause serious
malfunctions and engine damage! Under no circumstances
should you mix up operating fluids. Otherwise serious malfunc-
tions and engine damage can occur!
Accessories and other things installed in front of the cooling
air intakes impair the efficiency of the engine coolant. The en-
gine can overheat under high outside temperatures or under
high engine loads!
Leaking operating fluids can pollute the environment. Collect
leaking operating fluids in suitable containers and dispose of them
properly in accordance with applicable environmental laws and regu-
