Checking and topping up fluids
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.
You will need to know whether
- 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).

If the oil grades specified in the table are not
available, you can use one of the
folLowing
grades as a substitute. To prevent damage to
the engine, this should not be done more
than once between oil changes and no more
than 0.5 litres should be used.

Checking and topping up the engine oil
level
The
oil dipstick differs depending on the type of
engine.

Please refer to the safety notes
opage
295,
Working on components in the engine compart
ment.
Checking engine oil level
- Park the vehicle on a level surface.
- Switch off the warm engine. Wait for
a
few mi
nutes for the oil to drain back into the sump.
- Open the bonnet

-
PuLl
out the oil dipstick
^>page
297, Fig. 245,
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 299.
- If the oil level is too Low, add more engine oil.

oilfill
er opening
^>page
297, Fig. 245.
-Carefully add 0.5 Litres of suitable engine oil
^>
page 297.
- 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 (5)
<^Fig.

<=>©.
- Screw the oil filler cap
*£/;
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.
- The engine oil must never drop below the
marking®
^>Fig.
246- risk of engine dam
age!
- When topping up the engine oil, make sure
that the oil level is not above the marking
@
^Fig.
246, 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
(3)^
Fig. 246: 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
E
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
34.
- 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 environmen
- 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
Itr./lOOO
km. Oil consump
tion is likely to be higher for the first 5,000
km.
The engine oil Level must be checked at
regular intervals, preferably when refuelling
and before setting off on a long trip.
Cooling system
Coolant
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory
with a mixture of conditioned water and coolant
additive. This coolant must not be changed.
The coolant level is monitored by a warning lamp
|
<^page
30. However, we recommend that it
should be checked occasionally.
If you do need to top up the coolant, use a mix
ture of water and coolant additive. We recom
mend mixing coolant additive with distilled wa
ter.

Wheels
- Incorrect tyre pressures increase tyre wear
and adversely affect vehicle braking and
handling - risk of accident!
(7) CAUTION
Replace any lost valve caps to prevent dam
age to the tyre valves.
(#) For
the sake of the environment
- Under-inflated tyres will increase the fuel
consumption.
- Driving with the tyre pressures adjusted to
the comfort setting* may also result in in
creased fuel consumption.
©
We recommend always using the tyre pres
sure setting
(T)
for partial loads and the set
ting
(?) for
full loads.
Wheel bolts and rims
Wheel bolts
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn easily.
A special adapter is required to turn the
anti-
theft wheel bolts*
^
page 321.
Rims
Rims with a bolted rim flange* or bolted trim
parts*
consist of several components. A special
technique is applied to bolt these components
together. Never attempt to repair or dismantle
them
o
A-
A,
WARNING
If the wheel bolts have not been tightened or
serviced correctly, they can come loose, and
you could lose control of the vehicLe - risk of
accident! For the correct tightening torque,
refer to
^page
324, After changing a wheel.
- Make sure that the wheel bolts and threads
in the wheel hubs are always clean and free
from grease.
- Only use wheel bolts that are designed to
match the rims on your car.
- Always have damaged rims repaired by a
qualified workshop. Never attempt to repair
or dismantle rims yourself - risk of accident!
Winter tyres
In winter road conditions winter tyres will consid
erably improve the car's handling. Due to their
type of construction (width, rubber compound,
tread pattern), summer tyres give less grip on ice
and snow.
•
Winter tyres must be fitted on all four wheels.
•
Only use winter tyres of the correct type ap
proved for your vehicle.
•
Please note that the maximum permissible
speed for winter tyres may be lower than for
summer tyres
•=> A-
Your specialist retailer can
advise you of the maximum speed
for
your
tyres.
•
After fitting the wheels you must always check
the tyre pressures
^>page
307.
Winter tyres Lose their effectiveness when the
tread is worn down to a depth of 4 mm. The per
formance of winter tyres is also severely impaired
by ageing, even if the tread is still much deeper
than 4 mm.
A WARNING
- Never exceed the maximum approved speed
for your tyres. This causes the tyres to over
heat and can even result in a blow-out - risk
of accident!
- Always adapt your driving style to the pre
vailing road and traffic conditions. Drive
carefully and reduce your speed on icy or
slippery roads. Even winter tyres lose their
grip on black ice.
(^)
For the sake of the environment
Summer tyres should be fitted again as soon
as possible; they give better handling on
roads which are free of snow and ice. They are
quieter, do not wear so quickly and reduce
fuel consumption. •
