Checking and topping up fluids
A WARNING
- To avoid the risk of being scalded, never
open the bonnet if
you
see steam or coolant
escaping from the engine compartment.
Wait until no steam or coolant can be seen
before opening the bonnet.
- For safety reasons the bonnet must always
be completely closed when the vehicle is
moving.
After closing it always check that it
is properly secured. It should not be possi
ble to
lift
the front edges of the bonnet.
Should you notice that the bonnet is not
safely secured when the vehicle is moving,
stop the vehicle immediately and close the
bonnet properly, otherwise it could cause an
accident.

Checking and topping up fluids
If
you
have to top up the oil between oil changes,
use the grades of oil specified in the table in ac
cordance with VW standards.
You will need to know whether
- the vehicLe is being serviced based on the
flexi
ble or fixed oil change service (see last service
record).
- the vehicle has a petrol or diesel engine (see
sticker on inside of fuel tank flap).

<=>©.
- Screw the oil filler cap
*£/;
back on and push
the dipstick all the way in.
A WARNING
- Ensure that no engine oil comes into contact
with hot engine components when topping
up:
this could cause a fire.
- The oil filler cap must be properly closed to
prevent oil from squirting onto the hot en
gine or exhaust system while the engine is
running - risk of fire!
- Wash your skin thoroughly if it comes into
contact with engine oil.
- The engine oil must never drop below the
marking®
^>Fig.
246- risk of engine dam
age!
- When topping up the engine oil, make sure
that the oil level is not above the marking
@
^Fig.
246, as this may result in damage
to the catalytic converter or to the engine.
Do NOT start the engine. Contact a qualified
workshop to extract the engine oil if neces
sary.
- Applies to vehicles which have an oil
dip
stick with area
(3)^
Fig. 246: If you run your
vehicle on diesel fuel of poorer quality than
EN 590 standard
fuel,
the fuel can get into
the engine oil. In this case, the oil level
gradually rises and the quality of the engine
oil decreases. Once the oil level has reached
the marking
@
or the indicator lamp
E
has come on, the engine oil level must not
be corrected by extracting the surplus oil -
risk
of engine damage! The engine oil must
be changed
^>page
34.
- No additives should be used with engine oil.
Any damage caused by the use of such
addi
tives would not be covered by the factory
warranty.
© For the sake of the environmen
- Never pour engine oil down drains or into
the ground.
-Always observe statutory requirements
when disposing of empty oil canisters.
© Note
Depending on
how
you drive and the condi
tions in which the car is used, oil consumption
can be up to 0.5
Itr./lOOO
km. Oil consump
tion is likely to be higher for the first 5,000
km.
The engine oil Level must be checked at
regular intervals, preferably when refuelling
and before setting off on a long trip.
Cooling system
Coolant
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory
with a mixture of conditioned water and coolant
additive. This coolant must not be changed.
The coolant level is monitored by a warning lamp
|
<^page
30. However, we recommend that it
should be checked occasionally.
If you do need to top up the coolant, use a mix
ture of water and coolant additive. We recom
mend mixing coolant additive with distilled wa
ter.
299
Page 304 of 364
Checking and topping up fluids
Coolant additive
The coolant additive contains anti-freeze and cor
rosion protection agent. Only use one of the
fol
lowing coolant additives. It is possible to mix
these additives.

The amount of coolant additive which needs to
be mixed with the water depends on the temper
atures to be expected in the winter season. If the
anti-freeze concentration is too Low, the coolant
can freeze and cause engine damage.

CAUTION
- Have your qualified workshop check the
cooling system before the winter season to
make sure that the anti-freeze concentra
tion is adequate for the conditions to be ex
pected.
This applies particularly if
you
drive
into a colder climate zone.
- To prevent damage to the engine, do not
use a different type of anti-freeze additive if
the approved type of additive is not availa
ble.
In this case use only water and bring
the coolant concentration back up to the
correct level as soon as possible by putting
in the specified additive.
- Always top up with fresh, unused coolant.
- Radiator sealants must not be added to the
coolant.

ment.
Checking coolant level
•
Park the vehicle on a level surface.
•
Switch off the ignition.
•
Read off the coolant level on the coolant ex
pansion tank
^>Fig.
248. When the engine is
cold,
the coolant level should be between the
marks. When the engine is warm, it may be
slightly above the top mark.
Topping up coolant
Important: The coolant expansion tank must not
be empty
•=>([).
•
Wait for the engine to cool down.
•
Cover the cap on the expansion tank with a
cloth,
and carefully unscrew the cap
anti-clock
wise
<=>
/K.
*-
Add coolant in the correct concentration
tapage
299 up to the top mark.
•
You should make sure that the fluid level re
mains stable. If necessary, add more coolant.
•
Screw the cap on again tightly.
Any loss of coolant normally indicates a Leak in
the cooling system. Drive to a qualified workshop
without delay and have the cooling system
checked.
If there are no leaks in the system, a
loss of coolant can only occur if the coolant boils
and is forced out of the system as a result of
overheating.

-The anti-freeze concentration must be
matched to the climate of the country in
which you are driving. If the concentration
is too
high,
damage to the car may result.
- Never put in radiator anti-freeze or other
additives.
- Never use washer fluid which contains paint
thinners or solvents as it can damage the
paintwork.
Service interval display
The
service interval display detects when the
next
service
is due
for
your vehicle.
There are two service interval dispLay levels:
- Inspection or oil change reminder: After a cer
tain mileage, a service reminder will appear in
the instrument cluster dispLay each time the ig
nition is switched on/off. The distance or time
remaining will be shown briefly.
- Inspection or oil change due: When your
vehi
cle is due for an inspection, oil change or
both,
the corresponding reminder Inspection
due!,
Oil change due! or Oil change and inspection
due!
will appear briefly after you switch the ig
nition on/off.
Checking the service intervals
On the infotainment system, you can look up the
distance and time remaining until the next oil
change or next service inspection. Select the
fol
lowing on the infotainment system:
|MENU|
but
ton > Car
>
left control button > Servicing &
checks
>
Service intervals.
Applies
to: vehicles with flexible oil change service
You cannot check the service interval on a new
vehicle until it has been driven for about 500 km.
Qualified workshops reset the service interval af
ter the oil is changed. The distance to the next oil
change is initially displayed based on the driving
profile prior to the oil change. Your own personal
driving profile is used subsequently to calculate
the remaining distance. Frequent cold starts or
short trips place extra demands on the engine oil
with the result that the oil has to be changed
more often.
Resetting the display
Your qualified workshop resets the service inter
val display after each service.
It is very important that you reset the oil change
dispLay if
you
change the oil yourself. The
next
oil
change will be due after
a
fixed service interval.
To reset the display, select the following on the
infotainment system:
|MENU|
button > Car
>
left
control button > Servicing & checks
>
Service in
tervals
>
Reset oil change interval.
(J) CAUTION
- Do not reset the oil change interval display
unless you have changed the oil.
- Keeping to the correct service intervals is
crucial for the operation, service life and re
sidual value of the vehicle (and especially
for the life of the engine). Services must al
ways be carried out promptly, even if the
mileage is Low.
