2021 AUDI Q2 dipstick

Checking and topping up fluids
A WARNING
- To avoid the risk of being scalded, never
open the bonnet if
you
see steam or coolant
escaping from the engine compartment.
Wait until no steam or coolant can be seen
before opening the bonnet.
- For safety reasons the bonnet must always
be completely closed when the vehicle is

moving.
After closing it always check that it
is properly secured. It should not be possi­
ble to
lift
the front edges of the bonnet.
Should you notice that the bonnet is not
safely secured when the vehicle is moving,
stop the vehicle immediately and close the
bonnet properly, otherwise it could cause an
accident.

Engine oil
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. •

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).

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.

oilfill­

er opening

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.
