Checking and refilling levels
CThe oil level is too low. Add oil up to zone
B.
Before opening the bonnet, read and observe
the warnings ›››page325, Working in the en-
gine compartment.
Check the oil level
The engine oil dipstick indicates the level of the
oil.
Park the vehicle in a horizontal position.
Briefly run the engine at idle speed until the
operating temperature is reached and then
stop.
Wait for about two minutes.
Locate the oil level dipstick. It can be recog-
nized by its coloured upper end.
Pull out the dipstick. Wipe the dipstick with a
clean cloth and insert it again, pushing it in as
far as it will go.
Then pull it out again and check the oil level
›››Fig.233. Top up with engine oil if necessary.
The oil should leave a mark between the areas
A and C. It must never exceed zone A.
Depending on how you drive and the conditions
in which the vehicle is used, oil consumption
can be up to 0.5 l/1000 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.
Topping up engine oil
Locate the engine oil filler cap. It can be
recognized by the symbol on the cover
›››Fig.234.
Unscrew cap from the oil filler mouth
›››Fig.234.
Carefully add oil in small quantities (no more
than 0.5 l).
To avoid adding too much oil, whenever you
add a certain amount, wait about 2 minutes
and recheck the oil level ›››page336.
If necessary, add some more oil.
When the oil level reaches at least zone
›››Fig.233 B, carefully screw on the engine
oil filler cap ››› .
Engine oil specification ›››page334.
WARNING
Any work carried out in the engine compart-
ment or on the engine must be carried out
cautiously.
When working in the engine compart-
ment, always observe the safety warnings
›››page325.
WARNING
Oil is highly inflammable! Ensure that no oil
comes into contact with hot engine compo-
nents when topping up.
NOTICE
If the oil level is above zone A, do not start
the engine. This could result in damage to
the engine and catalytic converter. Contact
a Technical Service.
For the sake of the environment
Under no circumstances should the oil level
be above zone A. Otherwise oil can be
drawn in through the crankcase breather and
leak into the atmosphere via the exhaust sys-
tem.
Note
Before a long trip, we recommend finding an
engine oil that conforms to the correspond-
ing VW specifications and recommend keep-
ing it in the vehicle. This way, the correct en-
gine oil will always be available for a top-up
if needed.
Engine oil change
We recommend that you have the engine oil
changed by a Technical Service.
