Inspecting engine oil level
When inspecting, pay attention to the following points:
Before inspecting, warm up the engine to normal temper-
ature.
Wait at least 3 minutes after switching off the engine to al-
low the oil to flow back into the oil pan.
–Withdraw dipstick, wipe off with a clean cloth and re-
insert dipstick fully.
–Withdraw dipstick once again and read off oil level.

The oil level in area -a-
–The oil must be topped up. It is sufficient when the oil
level rises to the area -b-.
The oil level in area -b-
–The oil can be topped up. It is possible that the oil level
will rise to the area -c-.
The oil level in area -c-
–The oil must not be topped up.
♦The oil level must not, under any circumstances, be
above area -a- - danger of damage to the catalytic
converter.
♦The vehicle must be standing on level ground when
measuring the oil level. Wait a few minutes after
switching off the engine to allow the oil to flow back
into the oil pan.
Change engine oil
♦The engine oil should always be changed, if possible,
when the engine is at normal operating temperature.
♦If the engine oil is drained, replace the seal of the oil
drain plug.

necessary.
–Wait at least 3 minutes after topping up the oil again
before inspecting the oil level again.
–Install the noise insulation.
The oil level must not be above the -max- marking to
avoid damage to the catalytic converter. See Inspecting
engine oil level ⇒02-3 page 8.
Inspecting antifreeze protection, replen-
ishing coolant additive if necessary
♦Collect drained coolant for proper disposal.
♦Observe the disposal instructions for the drained cool-
ant.

used for inspecting the antifreeze protection of the
coolant.
Note
WARNING!
Coolant additives are toxic!
Do not inhale coolant vapours, do not swallow
coolant, avoid contact with skin and eyes; haz-
ardous if consumed!

–Perform a test drive and again check the coolant anti-
freeze protection.
Inspecting coolant level (volume)
–The coolant expansion reservoir is located on the right
of the engine compartment.
–Inspect coolant level only when the engine is not run-
ning.
Specified coolant level for the Inspection Service:
•Engine cold: between„MAX“ and „MIN“ marking.
•Engine warm: slightly above the „MAX“ marking.
♦The cooling system is filled all year round with a mix-
ture of water and antifreeze/anti-corrosion agent.
Coolant additives prevent damage from frost and cor-
rosion and the accumulation of lime scale while also
raising the boiling point of the coolant. For these rea-
sons the cooling system must always be filled all year
round with radiator antifreeze and anti-corrosion
agent offering these properties.
♦Coolant additive G12 - red in colour, complying with
standard TL VW 774 D, must not be mixed with other
coolant additives which comply with standard TL VW
774 C(B) -bluish-green in colour-. If these two coolant
additives are mixed the coolant will turn brown. Brown
coolant must be drained immediately, the cooling sys-
tem flushed out with drinking water and filled with
fresh coolant. If this is not done the engine and cooling
system may suffer damage. Engine Coolant capacity

♦Coolant additives complying with standard TL VW
774C (G11) -bluish-green in colour-, must only be
used for topping up on vehicles fitted with a cooling
system which is already filled with this coolant.
♦Vehicles produced as of MJ 03 are filled with coolant
additive G12 PLUS which has a lilac colour and con-
forms with the standard TL VW 774 F.
♦Coolant additive G12 PLUS must only be mixed with
coolant additives G12 and G11.
♦Coolant additive G12 PLUS is recommended for use
on all vehicles when changing the coolant.
Do not use coolant additives that have not been recom-
mended by ŠKODA AUTO a.s.
Other coolant additives may specifically impair the pro-
vided corrosion protection.
The resulting corrosion damage may lead to a loss of
coolant and subsequently cause major engine damage.
Coolant additives conforming to the standard TL VW 774
D (G12) or TL VW 774F (G12 PLUS) prevent frost and
corrosion damage, as well as the formation of scale, and
also increase the boiling point of the coolant.
For these reasons you must use coolant additives 12
months a year.
The engine's reliability is also increased when the engine
is stressed, especially in countries with a tropical climate.

Ribbed V-belt: Inspect condition
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and
auxiliary items required
♦Wrench socket
Perform the following procedure:
–Raise vehicle.
–Remove bottom engine compartment cover at right.
–Use a socket wrench to crank the engine at the belt
pulley -2-.
–Check ribbed V-belt for:
♦Splits in the carcass (initial splits, splits in core, splits
across carcass).
♦Separation of layers (top layer, cords).
♦Sections of carcass broken out.
♦Fraying of cords.
♦Wear to sides (abrasion of material, frayed sides,
hardening of sides, glazed and hardened surfaces).
♦Traces of oil and grease.
♦Correct tension (vehicles without tensioning pulley).
♦It is essential to replace the V-ribbed belt if defects are
found. This will help prevent any operational prob-
lems. Replacing the ribbed V-belt is a repair measure.
♦Engines fitted with an AC compressor are equipped
with a double ribbed V-belt.
