Note
The layout of parts may vary depending on
the engine. Engine oil
General notes The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil that can be used all year round.
Because the use of high-quality oil is essen-
tial for the corr
ect oper
ation of the engine
and its long useful life, when topping up or
changing oil, use only those oils that comply
with VW standards.
We recommend that the oil change be done
by a technical service or specialised work-
shop.
If the engine oil level is too low
You can get information about the correct en-
gine oil for your vehicle at your workshop.
If the recommended engine oil is not availa-
ble, in the event of an emergency you can
change the oil once with a maximum of 0.5 L
of the next oil until the next oil change:
