–Bring ATF to test temperature.
Test temperature: 35 C to 45 C
–Remove screw plug for ATF inspection in the oil pan
-arrow-.
The ATF present in the overflow tube flows out.
If ATF drips out of the hole:
It is not necessary to top up with ATF.
–Fit new gasket ring on screw plug and tighten to 15
Nm.
Topping up ATF
–Lever off cap -arrow- for securing the screw plug with
a screwdriver.
The cap with the clip lock is destroyed in the process,
therefore always replace the cap.
–Pull off screw plug from the filler tube.
–Top up ATF with the ATF filling system -V.A.G 1924 -
until ATF flows out of the inspection hole -arrow-.
Too much or too little ATF filling impairs the gearbox func-
tion.

Inspecting thickness of front and rear
brake pads/linings
Front disc brake pads:
For a better assessment of the residual pad thickness re-
move wheels. Do not mix up wheels (mark).
–Release the wheel bolts and remove wheel.
-a- - the wear limit is reached at a pad thickness of 7 mm,
including the base plate.
If the thickness of the pad is less than 7 mm including
base plate, always replace the brake pads on both sides
(repair measure)
–Fit on wheels in the marked position and tighten the
wheel bolts to 120 Nm.
After replacing the brake pads depress brake pedal firmly
several times when the vehicle is stationary to ensure the
brake pads are properly seated in their normal operating
position.
Rear disc brake pads
For a better assessment of the residual pad thickness re-
move wheels. Do not mix up wheels (mark).
–Release the wheel bolts and remove wheel.
-a- - the wear limit is reached at a pad thickness of 7.6
mm, including the base plate.
If the thickness of the pad is less than 7.6 mm, always re-
place the brake pads on both sides (repair measure)
–Fit on wheels in the marked position and tighten the
wheel bolts to 120 Nm.
After replacing the brake pads depress brake pedal firmly
several times when the vehicle is stationary to ensure the
brake pads are properly seated in their normal operating
position.
Rear drum brake linings
–Inspect the thickness of the brake linings through the
inspection holes in the brake carrier plates.
–The wear limit is reached at a lining thickness -a- of 5
mm, without supporting shoe. If a wear case exists, al-

ways replace the brake linings on both sides (repair
measure).
Avoid soiling from brake fluid or grease flowing out.
Inspecting brake system for leaks and
damage
–Inspect master brake cylinder, brake servo unit (for
ABS: hydraulic unit), brake pressure regulator, brake
calipers for leaks and damage.
–Inspect brake hoses for twisting.
–Ensure that the brake hoses do not touch any parts of
the vehicle when the steering is turned to full left or full
right lock.
–Inspect the brake hoses for porous and brittle points.
Inspect the brake hoses and brake lines for chafing
points.
–Inspect the brake connections and attachments to en-
sure they are correctly fitted, free of leaks and corro-
sion.
Changing brake fluid (every 2 years)
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and
auxiliary items required
♦Extraction device
♦Brake pedal support, e.g. - V.A.G 1869/2-
Use only fresh genuine brake fluid FMVSS 571.116 DOT
4.
–Unscrew cap -1- from the brake fluid reservoir
Note
WARNING!
Any defects found must be rectified (repair meas-
ure).
WARNING!
Brake fluid must never come into contact with
fluids containing crude oils (oil, petrol, cleaning
agent). Crude oils damage the gaskets and
boots of the brake system.
Brake fluid is toxic. Because of its caustic effect
brake fluid must not come into contact with
paint.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs mois-
ture from the surrounding air . Therefore it
should always be stored in airtight containers.
Wash any parts stained with brake fluid with
large volumes of water.
Observe the disposal instructions!

–Remove strainer and clean.
–Use extraction device -1- to extract as much brake flu-
id as possible from the brake fluid reservoir.
–Fill the brake fluid reservoir with new brake fluid.
Vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox
–Fit hose of extraction device -Arrow- onto the bleeder
screw of the master cylinder -1-.
–Open the bleeder screw and by depressing the clutch
pedal allow approx. 0.1 litre of brake fluid to flow out.
–Secure the clutch with the brake pedal depressor, e.g.
-V.A.G 1869/2- in bottom position.
–Tightne bleeder screw and remove the hose.
–Put the clutch pedal in home position.
All vehicles
When changing the brake fluid it is necessary to replenish
the brake fluid reservoir with brake fluid.
–Fit hose of extraction device -1- onto the bleeder
screw of the rear right wheel.
1)
–Open the bleeder screw and by depressing the brake
pedal allow approx. 0.2 litres of brake fluid to flow out.
–Secure the clutch with the brake pedal depressor, e.g.
-V.A.G 1869/2- in bottom position.
–Tighten bleeder screw and remove the hose.
–Put the brake pedal in home position.
WARNING!
Drained (used) brake fluid must never be used
again.
Sequence: Wheel brake
cylinder, brale caliper,
clutch slave cylinderQuantity of brake fluid that
must flow out of the wheel
brake cylinders or brake
calipers and clutch slave
cylinder:
Rear right 0.2 litres
Rear left 0.2 litres
Front right 0.2 litres
Front left 0.2 litres
Clutch hydraulics 0.1 litres
1)On vehicles with right-hand steering: fit hose of extraction device onto the bleeder screw of the rear left wheel.

–Repeat the procedure for all wheels in the following
sequence: rear left, front right and front left.
1)
–Insert strainer in the brake fluid reservoir and fill with
brake fluid up to the specified level.
–Inspect pedal position and idle travel at brake pedal.
Idle travel: max. 1/3 of pedal travel.
Vehicles with ABS or ABS/EDL:
A road test on such models must be carried out after
bleeding the brake system. While doing so perform at
least one ABS adjustment!
Inspecting the brake fluid level
Use only fresh genuine brake fluid FMVSS 571.116 DOT
4.
The brake fluid must not be above the „MAX“ marking to
prevent fluid flowing out of the reservoir.
Delivery Inspection
The brake fluid level during the delivery inspection should
be at the „MAX“ marking.
Inspection Service:
–The brake fluid level (volume) must always be as-
sessed on the basis of the brake pad wear. When driv-
ing a slight drop in the brake fluid level occurs as a
result of wear-and-tear and the automatic slack ad-
justment of the brake pads.
–If the fluid brake level is on the „MIN“ marking or slight-
ly above, it is not necessary to top up the brake fluid if
the brake pads have practically reached their wear
limit.
–If the brake pads are new or far off the brake wear lim-
it, the brake fluid level must be between the „MIN“ and
„MAX“ markings.
–If the brake fluid level has dropped below the „MIN“
marking, it is necessary to inspect the brake system
before topping up the brake fluid ⇒02-5 page 2; car-
ry out repair measure if necessary.
1)for right-hand drive vehicles the following sequence applies: rear right, front left and front right
WARNING!
Brake fluid is toxic. Because of its caustic effect
brake fluid must not come into contact with
paint.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs mois-
ture from the surrounding air . Therefore it
