Check of level of oil

Establish the car on a horizontal surface.

Stop the engine and wait few minutes while oil will not merge in the pallet.

Open a cowl

Take out oil щуп.

Wipe oil щуп a pure obtirochny material and insert it back against the stop.

Take out again щуп and consider the indication of level of oil.

Again move щуп into place against the stop.

Fig. 1.126 . Oil щуп

If oil is in a zone A (fig. 1.126) oil it is not necessary to add.

If oil is in a zone B, it is possible to add oil (about 0,5 l).

If oil is in a zone C, oil is necessary to add (about 1,0 l).

The consumption of oil is the normal phenomenon. The expense can make to one liter on 1000 km of run. Therefore level of oil should be checked regularly – best of all at each fuelling and before a distant trip.

In special service conditions, for example, at long high-speed movement in the summer, at towage of the trailer or at movement in mountains, try to support oil level in a zone A but not above.

Dolivka of oil in the engine

Fig. 1.127 . Cover of a maslozalivny mouth

Unscrew a cover of a maslonalivny mouth (fig. 1.127) .

Add oil in the small portions.

From time to time stop to pour oil, wait a little and check oil level not to pour too much.

Only level of oil will appear in a zone A carefully wrap a cover.

Cooling liquid

In system of cooling of the engine the mix of water and our low-temperature concentrate of G12 or a concentrate with the TL-VW 774 F specification (lilac color) should be filled in.

NOTE Cooling liquid represents a mix of water and a low-temperature concentrate (not less than 40 %).

This mix not only allows to maintain the car to temperature of-25 °C, but also protects details of system of cooling from corrosion. Besides, this mix prevents adjournment of lime and has the increased temperature of boiling.

The share of a low-temperature concentrate should be always not less than 40 %, as well during a summer season.

At especially low temperatures it is possible to increase a share of a low-temperature concentrate of G12. The share of a concentrate should be no more than 60 %, differently the mix becomes less cold-resistant. Engine cooling Besides, worsens. The mix from 60 % of a concentrate allows to maintain the car to temperature about-40 °C.

ATTENTION Other low-temperature additives can cause corrosion of parts of system of cooling. Further refusal of system of cooling of the engine, and, as a result, essential breakage of the engine is possible.

You can mix a low-temperature concentrate of G12 (lilac color) with G12 concentrates (red color) or G11. You can distinguish G12 structure on lilac color of cooling liquid in a broad tank. If cooling liquid in a broad tank of brown color, means, the structure of G12 is mixed with other low-temperature concentrate. In this case it is necessary to replace cooling liquid surely. Otherwise there can be serious violations in operation of the engine up to its breakage.

Check of level and dolivka of cooling liquid

Switch off the engine and let's to it cool down.

Fig. 1.128 . Cover of a broad tank

For protection against a burn put a big piece of a dense matter on a tank stopper (fig. 1.128) and carefully unscrew a stopper.

Check level of cooling liquid in a broad tank.

If level is lower than "MIN" mark, add cooling liquid.

Add only new cooling liquid.

Do not add liquid above «MAX» mark.

Reliably wrap a stopper.

Liquid for stekloomyvatel and a brush of screen wipers

Fig. 1.129 . In a motor compartment: a tank cover for liquid for stekloomyvatel

To screen wipers and cleaners of headlights liquid arrives from a tank in a motor compartment.

One at its finest has not enough for high-quality purification of glasses. It is recommended to add constantly in water original means G 052 164 Volkswagen. This means not only well clears glass, but also interferes with its icing therefore it should be mixed all the year round. Follow instructions on packing.

Replacement of brushes of screen wipers

Before replacement of brushes switch off screen wipers.

NOTE Regularly check a condition of brushes of screen wipers and if necessary replace them.

Take away a screen wiper lead from glass. Thus do not undertake a brush.

Turn a brush counter-clockwise to the left against the stop and remove it.

Pull a new brush of the same length and execution over a lead and turn a lead clockwise to the right against the stop.

Put a lead into place.

If brushes smear dirt on glass, in the presence of damages replace them, and dirty brushes clear.

If it does not help, probably, it is necessary to adjust a tilt angle of leads – address in a workshop for check and correction of a tilt angle of leads.

Check of level of brake liquid

Fig. 1.130 . A tank cover with brake liquid

Turn both locks (fig. 1.130) , for example, a coin, on 90 ° and take out a cover forward And.

Define level of brake liquid in a transparent tank. Level of liquid should be between «MIN» and «MAX» marks.

Then move a cover in directing In and draw in both locks in the holder before their fixing.

Fig. 1.131 . A tank stopper with brake liquid

The tank with brake liquid has a cover of yellow color (fig. 1.131) .

In use the car level of brake liquid gradually falls in process of wear of brake shoes and automatic readjustment of their situation.

If level of brake liquid considerably decreased for a short time and became lower than "MIN" mark, it is possible to assume that the brake system is not tight. When level of brake liquid too low, about it STOP BREMSFLUSSIGKEIT ANHALTEN signal the warning message «!» («BRAKE LIQUID. STOP!») on the display of an instrument guard and burning of an alarm lamp of brake system. In this case it is necessary to look for urgently the service enterprise Volkswagen or any other workshop for check of brake system.

Change of brake liquid

Brake liquid is hygroscopic. It absorbs moisture from air. Over time water in brake liquid causes corrosion of details of brake system. Besides, the boiling point of brake liquid essentially goes down that at intensive braking causes formation of vials of steam in brake system, and it reduces efficiency of braking.

Brake liquid should be changed not less than each two years.

It is necessary to use only original brake liquid. US-Norm FMVSS 116 DOT 4 liquid specification.
