ter) in the windshield washer reservoir.
All-season Windscreen ClearG 052 164 A2 or equivalent. Mixing
ratio in winter to 0 °F (-18 °C) about 1:2 (1 part concentrate to 2 parts

Filling capacity
The windshield washer fluid reservoir holds about 3.1 qts. (3 liters); in
vehicles with a headlight cleaning system about 6.3 qts. (6 liters).
WARNING
Never mix antifreeze or similar additives into the windshield
washer reservoir. This could produce an oily film on the wind-
shield, which would considerably reduce visibility.
Use clear water with a cleaning solution recommended by
Volkswagen.
If necessary, blend with a suitable windshield washer fluid
antifreeze agent.
NOTICE
Never mix cleaning solutions recommended by Volkswagen
with other cleaning agents. If you do, this could cause sedi-
ments or other by-products that can clog the windshield washer
nozzles.
When refilling, do not confuse one type of operating liquid
with another! Otherwise serious malfunctions and engine dam-
age can occur!

WARNING
Operating fluids and some materials in the engine compartment
can catch fire easily, causing burns and other serious personal
injuries!
Never smoke near the engine compartment.
Never work next to open flames or sparks.
Never pour or spill operating fluids or other flammable liq-
uids on the engine. These fluids can ignite on hot engine parts
and cause injuries.
If work on the fuel system or the electrical system is neces-
sary:
– Always disconnect the 12 Volt vehicle battery. Make sure
the vehicle is unlocked when you disconnect the battery, or
the alarm will go off. Never touch the electrical wiring of the
ignition system.
– Never work near heaters, water heaters, or other open
flames.
Always have a functional, approved fire extinguisher nearby.
NOTICE
When changing or topping off fluids, make sure that you pour
the fluids into the correct reservoirs. Adding the wrong type of
operating fluids will cause serious malfunctions and engine
damage.
Fluid leaks and spills are harmful to the environment. Regularly
check the ground underneath your vehicle for this reason. If you find
spots of oil or other fluids, have your vehicle checked by your author-
ized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Dispose of leaked operating fluids properly.

fig. 165 Required action according to the respective en-
gine oil level:
Range (A) Do not refill oil ⇒ .

may go into the (A) range, but not above the (A)
range.
Range (C) You must add oil (about 1 quart / 1.0 liter). After add-
ing oil, make sure that the oil level is about in the
middle of the (B) range.

WARNING
Engine oil can ignite when it touches hot engine parts. This can
cause fires, burns, and other severe injuries.
Never spill oil on the engine. Oil spilled on a cold engine can
also cause a fire when the engine warms up.
Always make certain that you screw the cap of the engine oil
filler opening back on tightly after adding oil and that the dip-
stick has been pushed all the way back into the in the guide
tube. This helps prevent engine oil from leaking onto the hot
engine when the engine is running.

(A). Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility. Otherwise the catalytic converter
and engine can be damaged!
When changing or topping off fluids, make sure that you pour
the fluids into the correct reservoirs. Adding the wrong type of
operating fluids will cause serious malfunctions and engine

oil can be drawn in by the crankcase ventilation system and enter the
atmosphere via the exhaust system.

options. If necessary, have the cleaning done by a professional.
Treating stains
When treating stains, it may be necessary to clean the entire surface
and not just the stain itself. This is especially true if the entire surface
has become dirty from normal use. Otherwise, the area that is treated
may become lighter than the untreated area. If you have questions or
concerns, consult a professional cleaner.
