Cooling system antifreeze protection
and coolant level, checking
CAUTION!
Part numbers are for reference only. Always
check with your Parts Dept. for the latest
parts information.
Coolant antifreeze, Part No. G 11 prevents frost
and corrosion damage, lime deposits, and also
raises the boiling temperature. Cooling system
must be filled year round with antifreeze and
corrosion protection agent.
Concentration of coolant must not be reduced by
adding wa ter, even during summer or in warmer
climates. Coolant antifreeze percentage must be
at least 40%.
Because of its high boiling point, coolant
contributes to safe operation at high engine load,
especially in warmer climates.
- Check concentration of coolant antifreeze.
Antifreeze protection must be approximately
-25 C (-13 F) for US and -35 C (-31 F)
for Canada.
For antifreeze protection down to

The transmission may be damaged by over-
filling.
CAUTION!
If the oil level is too low, the transmission must be checked for leaks
and repaired. It is not sufficient to just top off oil.

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.
