2021 VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC oil

With the engine at operating temperature, park the vehicle on a level surface to ensure that the
engine oil reading is correct.

Switch off the engine and wait a few minutes for the engine oil to flow back into the sump.

Open the bonnet In the engine compartment.

Identify the engine oil filler cap and oil dipstick. The engine oil filler opening can be recognised by
the symbol on the cap and the oil dipstick has a coloured handle. If you cannot find the cap and
dipstick, please contact a qualified workshop.

Pull the dipstick out of the guide tube and wipe it off with a clean cloth.

Insert the oil dipstick into the guide tube again as far as it will go. If there is a marking on the upper
end of the oil dipstick, this marking must fit into the corresponding groove at the top end of the
guide tube upon insertion.

qualified workshop . Ⓑ Do not fill any engine oil . Continue with step 16. Ⓒ Engine oil level OK.
Engine oil can, e.g. in the case of high engine loads , be filled up to the upper limit of this range.
Continue with step 8 or 16. Ⓓ Engine oil level is too low. Engine oil must be filled. Continue with
step 8.

After reading off the oil level, push the oil dipstick back into the guide tube as far as it will go.

Unscrew the cap of the engine oil filler opening .

Using only the engine oil approved by Volkswagen expressly for this engine, fill oil gradually in small
amounts (no more than 0.5 l).

In order to avoid overfilling, wait for approximately one minute after each refill step to allow the
engine oil to flow into the sump up to the marking on the engine oil dipstick.

Read the engine oil level from the dipstick again before refilling with a further small quantity of
engine oil. Never overfill engine oil .

After refilling, the engine oil level should be in the middle of area Ⓒ. It should not be above Ⓒ, in
area Ⓑ, and must not be in area Ⓐ .

If too much engine oil has been added unintentionally and the engine oil level is in area Ⓐ, do not
start the engine. Inform a qualified workshop and seek expert assistance if necessary.

Close the engine oil filler opening with the cap after filling.

Insert the oil dipstick into the guide tube as far as it will go. If there is a marking on the upper end of
the oil dipstick, this marking must fit into the corresponding groove at the top end of the guide tube
upon insertion.

Close the bonnet In the engine compartment.

Engine oil can ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine components. It can cause fires, burns
and other serious injuries.

The coolant additive is dyed purple. The mixture of water and a coolant additive offers anti-freeze
protection down to -25°C (-13°F), protects the alloy parts in the cooling system against corrosion,
prevents limescale deposits and significantly increases the boiling point of the coolant.
When refilling the coolant, a mixture of distilled water and at least 40% coolant additive - G 13 - or -
G 12 plus-plus - (TL-VW 774 G) (both of which are dyed purple) must be used in order to obtain the
optimum corrosion protection ⇒ .
Mixing - G 13 - with the coolant additives - G 12 plus - (TL-VW 774 F), - G 12 - (dyed red) or - G 11 -
(dyed blue-green) will significantly decrease the level of corrosion protection and should therefore
be avoided ⇒ .

WARNING
Insufficient anti-freeze in the coolant system can cause the engine to break down and cause serious
injuries.
ive used must be sufficient for the lowest
ambient temperature that you expect the vehicle to be exposed to.
Vehicle occupants with inadequate winter clothing could then freeze to death as the heating will

NOTICE
Never mix genuine coolant additives with other coolants that have not been approved by
Volkswagen.

coolant additive with distilled water) but for example, brown instead of purple, - G 13 - has been
mixed with an unsuitable coolant additive. The coolant must be changed as soon as possible if this is
the case. Failure to observe this warning can result in serious malfunctions or damage to the engine
and cooling system.

Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment. Spilt service fluids must be collected and
then disposed of properly and in an environmentally responsible way.
Checking the coolant level and refilling coolant

Refill only with distilled water. All other types of water can cause corrosion in the engine due to
the chemical components contained in the water. This can also lead to engine failure. If any other
type of water apart from distilled water has been refilled, the fluid in the cooling system should be
completely replaced immediately by a qualified workshop.

be forced out of the cooling system when the engine is hot and could cause damage.

Brake fluid

Fig. 190 In the engine compartment: cap on the brake fluid reservoir.
Brake fluid will gradually absorb water from the surrounding air over the course of time. The brake
system will be damaged if there is too much water in the brake fluid. The boiling point of the brake
fluid is also considerably reduced by the water content. Heavy use of the brakes and full braking may
cause a vapour lock in the brake system if the water content is too high. Vapour locks reduce levels
of braking power, considerably increase braking distance and can even cause the brake system to fail
completely. Your own safety and that of other road users depends on having a brake system that
functions properly at all times ⇒ .
Brake fluid specification
Volkswagen has developed a brake fluid that has been optimised for the brake system in the vehicle.
To ensure optimal operation of the brake system, Volkswagen expressly recommends the use of
brake fluid compliant with VW standard 501 14.
Before using a particular brake fluid, check that the brake fluid specifications printed on the
container correspond to the vehicle requirements.

On wheels with a wheel cover, the anti-theft wheel bolt must be screwed into position

If the wheel bolts are corroded and difficult to turn, they must be replaced before the tightening
torque is checked and the wheel hub threads cleaned.
Never grease or oil the wheel bolts or the threads of the wheel hub.
The tightening torque should be checked with a properly functioning torque wrench immediately
after changing a wheel.
