CAUTION!

Too much or too liffle ATF will affect the
operation of the transmission. The ATF level
must be checked at regular intervals.

The oil level is correct if only a slight amount of oil runs out when ATF
temperature is between 30 C (86 F) and 45 C
1) (113 F) (caused by
increase of oil level when heated).
WARNING!
Wear protective glasses.

The ATF temperature is measured temperature using the VAG 1551 Scan
Tool. - Hang filled ATF reservoir VAG 1924 as high as possible (example:
radiator grill).
- Shift lever in "P", engine running at idle.
- Place oil drip pan under transmission oil pan.
- Connect VAG 1551 as described on Page 19
.
- Press key -1- for " Rapid Data Transfer " mode.

Tires, checking


Delivery inspection:

- Check treads and side walls for signs of
damage, if necessary, remove any foreign
bodies, such as nails and glass splinters.

- Check that tires are the same type and tread
pattern.

Inspection service:

- Measure tread depth.


Minimum tread depth: 1.6 mm (0.0625 in.)
If tread depth is close to legal permissible
minimum, i.e. if the 1.6 mm high wear indicator
spaced around tire circumference no longer has
any tread pattern, the customer must be in
formed.
Tires should also be checked for scuffing, wear
on one side, porous side walls, cuts, and
fractures.
Any defects found must be reported to the
customer.

When installing a wheel, do not torque down
the first wheel bolt immediately (for instance,
with an impact wrench). This would prevent the
other bolts from centering the wheel properly
when they are threaded in; the rim could then
come loose, even though the bolts have been
tightened to the specified torque.
Before installing the wheels, examine the seats
of the wheel bolts and the contact surfaces
between the rims and the hubs for rust and
corrosion. Clean off these parts if necesary,
otherwise this can affect the clamping force of
the bolts after installation, and the rims can
come loose.

WARNING!
If the points listed above are not observed,
the wheel mountings can come loose and the
wheel bolt seats can become distorted.
This distortion may be very slight and not
visible to the naked eye.
Even this slight distortion of the wheel bolt
seats can prevent the rims from being held
firmly and the wheels will come loose
repeatedly.

Brake system - visual inspection


WARNING!

Any defects found must be repaired.

- Inspect brake master cylinder, vacuum brake
booster, hydraulic unit, brake pressure regulator,
and brake calipers for leaks and damage.

- Brake hoses must not be twisted.

- Brake hoses must not make contact with any
part of vehicle when steering is at full lock.

- Inspect brake hoses for porosity and
deterioration, brake hoses and brake lines for
chafing.

- Inspect the brake connections and attachments
for correct seating, leaks and corrosion.

Brake fluid level, checking


WARNING!

Use only new brake fluid confomning to US
Standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4. Genuine VW,
Audi brake fluid conforms to this
specification.
Brake fluid is poisonous. Do not ingest brake
fluid. Wash thoroughly with soap and water if
brake fluid comes into contact with the skin.

CAUTION!
Do not let brake fluid come into contact with
paint because of its caustic effect
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from
surrounding air and should always be stored
in airtight containers.

Delivery inspection:
Brake fluid level must be at max. marking at time
of delivery.

Note:
To avoid brake fluid over flowing do not exceed
the max. marking.

Adhesive residue removal

CAUTION!

Always read and follow manufacturer
Cautions and Warnings regarding use of
product.

If RAPGARD adhesive residue remains on
paint finish, remove with a non-abrasive polishing
product such as, (3M Part No. 5995) light colors
or (3M Part No. 5996) dark colors. Thick lines of adhesive residue can be removed
with general purpose adhesive cleaner (3M Part
No. 08987-aerosol, or Part No, 08984-qt. can) or
equivalent.

Note:
Paint discoloration (looks like shaded or dark
magic marker lines) can be removed with a heat
gun using the following procedure:

- Hold heat gun approximately 3 in. away from
affected paint surfaces and apply heat using
slow oscillating motions until discoloration is
gone.

- If discoloration remains, wipe the heated area
with Isopropyl alcohol and repeat procedure to
increase surface drying.
