–Extract a small quantity of coolant with the pipette and
place on the measuring glass. Hold unit against a light
source and read off the temperature down to which
antifreeze protection exists on the scale for ethylene
glycol.
♦Antifreeze protection must be ensured down to about
-25 C.
♦Down to about -35 C in countries with an arctic cli-
mate.
♦If a greater antifreeze concentration is required for cli-
matic reasons, the concentration may be increased up
to 60 % (i.e. antifreeze protection down to about -40
C). Any further increase in concentration increase
would reduce the antifreeze protection and impair
cooling efficiency.
Replenishing coolant additive
♦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.
♦Coolant additives complying with standard TL VW 774
C (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.
If the vehicle is filled with the recommended coolant and
the antifreeze protection is not adequate, drain part of the
coolant from the cooling system.
–After this, fill the cooling system with concentrated
coolant additive.

–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 are toxic!
Do not inhale coolant vapours, do not swallow
coolant, avoid contact with skin and eyes; haz-
ardous if consumed!

tion).
Draining the fuel filter (diesel engine)
♦Make sure no diesel fuel comes into contact with the
coolant hoses. If necessary clean the hoses immedi-
ately!
♦Collect fuel in a suitable vessel!
♦It is absolutely necessary to observe the oil disposal
instructions!
–Remove retaining clip -2- and remove regulating valve
-1- with the connected fuel hoses.
–Unlock hooks -arrows-.
–Loosen the fuel filter and remove.

The materials and the corresponding work instructions
are listed in the ⇒Technical Service Handbook, Part 6 -
Technology of paint repairs, chemical materials.
Inspecting plenum chamber and water
drain openings for dirt, cleaning if neces-
sary
Carry out a visual inspection for soiling through the cover
of the plenum chamber -arrows-. Remove the cover if it is
necessary to clean the plenum chamber (repair meas-
ure).
The water drain openings must not be blocked with wax
or underbody sealant.
Windscreen wiper/washer system:
Check for proper operation
Fluid in windscreen washer fluid reservoir
The fluid reservoir for the windscreen washer system
must be filled up to the brim.
♦If it is necessary to add fluid, always mix windscreen
cleaner to the water (in summer) or antifreeze agent
(in the winter).
♦If the vehicle is fitted with a headlight washing system
and the headlights have plastic - (polycarbonate) -
lenses, one must only use fluids for topping up the
headlight washing system which do not damage the
polycarbonate.
Inspecting setting of nozzles of windscreen
washer system, adjusting nozzles if necessary:
Nozzles of windscreen washer system
The nozzles on the windscreen washer system are set by
the manufacturer and cannot be subsequently altered.
–The water spray should strike the windscreen in a
cone-shaped pattern.
If the spray flows out unevenly, replace the spray nozzle
(repair measure).
Windscreen wiper arms: Inspecting park posi-
tion, adjusting if necessary
–Wiper arms are positioned relative to the round mark-
ings in the windscreen.
