Delivery inspection:
At delivery inspection coolant level must be at
max. mark on expansion tank (engine cold).
Inspection service:
Coolant level between min. and max. markings.
With engine cold, coolant level must be between
min. and max. markings of reservoir; with engine
warm, level may be slightly above max. marking.
If coolant level is too low but antifreeze protection
is adequate, add required amount of mixture.
If coolant level is too low but antifreeze protection
adequate, add missing quantity according to
following mixing ratios:

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.

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 pad thickness, checking
Inspection service:
Dimension -a- = pad thickness including backing plate. Wear limit = 7 mm
(0.28 in.).
Thoroughly remove all dirt from wheels.
If pad thickness including backing plate is 7 mm (0.28 in.) or less the
brake pads have reached or exceeded wear limit and must be replaced. - Determine thickness of outer and inner pads by inspecting visually.
View through opening in wheel. Use a flashlight and mirror if necessary.
- Tighten wheel bolts to 110 Nm (81 ft lb).

Inspection service:
- Always consider brake pad wear when checking
brake fluid level. When driving, a slight drop in
brake fluid level results from normal wear and
automatic adjustment of brake pads.
- If brake fluid level is at minimum marking or
slightly above, brake pads are close to wear
limit, it is not necessary to add fluid.
- If brake pads are new or well away from wear
limit, brake fluid level must be between min. and
max. markings.
- If brake fluid level has dropped below min.
marking, check brake system before adding
brake fluid.
