Choosing the correct engine oil grade
The service interval display in the instrument
cluster of your vehicle will inform you when it is
time for an oil change. We recommend having
the oil changed by a qualified workshop.
If you have to top up the oil between oil changes,
use the grades of oil specified in the table in ac
cordance with VW standards.
- the vehicle is being serviced based on the flexi
ble or fixed oil change service (see last service
record).
- the vehicle has a petrol or diesel engine (see
sticker on inside of fuel tank flap).

and topping up fluids
- Switch off the warm engine. Wait for a few mi
nutes for the oil to drain back into the sump.
- Open the bonnet ¢page 245.
- Pull out the oil dipstick ¢page 246, Fig. 214,
wipe it with a clean cloth and insert it again,
pushing it in as far as it will go.
- Then pull the dipstick out again and check the
oil level ¢table on page 248.
- If the oil level is too low, add more engine oil.

NOT add engine oil.
Drive to a qualified workshop without delay
and have the engine oil changed ¢0.
Topping up the engine oil
- Unscrew the cap "E::71 ¢Fig. 216from the oil fill
er opening ¢ page 246, Fig. 214.
- Carefully add 0.5 litres of suitable engine oil
¢page 247.
-After two minutes check the oil level once
again.
- If the oil level is too low, add a smaller quantity
of engine oil. The level must always be below
the marking @¢Fig. 215 ¢0.
- Screw the oil filler cap "E::71 back on and push
the dipstick all the way in.
A WARNING
- Ensure that no engine oil comes into contact
with hot engine components when topping
up: this could cause a fire.
- The oil filler cap must be properly closed to
prevent oil from squirting onto the hot en
gine or exhaust system while the engine is
running -risk of fire!
- Wash your skin thoroughly if it comes into
contact with engine oil.
248 CD
CAUTION
- The engine oil must never drop below the
marking (!)¢ Fig. 215 -risk of engine dam
age!
- When topping up the engine oil, make sure
that the oil level is not above the marking
@ ¢Fig. 215, as this may result in damage
to the catalytic converter or to the engine.
Do NOT start the engine. Contact a qualified
workshop to extract the engine oil if neces
sary.
- Applies to vehicles which have an oil dip
stick with area® ¢Fig. 215: If you run your
vehicle on diesel fuel of poorer quality than
EN 590 standard fuel, the fuel can get into
the engine oil. In this case, the oil Level
gradually rises and the quality of the engine
oil decreases. Once the oil level has reached
the marking @or the indicator lamp II
has come on, the engine oil level must not
be corrected by extracting the surplus oil -
risk of engine damage! The engine oil must
be changed ¢ page 18.
- No additives should be used with engine oil.
Any damage caused by the use of such addi
tives would not be covered by the factory
warranty.
® For the sake of the environment
- Never pour engine oil down drains or into
the ground.
-Always observe statutory requirements
when disposing of empty oil canisters.
@ Note
Depending on how you drive and the condi
tions in which the car is used, oil consumption
can be up to 0.5 Ltr./1000 km. Oil consump
tion on RS models can be up to 0.8 ltr./1,000
km. Oil consumption is likely to be higher for
the first 5,000 km. For this reason the engine
oil level must be checked at regular intervals,
preferably when filling the tank and before a
journey.
