Oil Change Service every 15.000 km1) (QG0)
An Oil Change Service need only be carried out if the vehicle has covered 15 000 km before one year has
elapsed1). If the Oil Change Service is due only a few months prior to the Annual Inspection, it is recommend-
ed to carry out the Annual Inspection at the same time.
Annual Inspection (every 12 months) (QG0)
1)The 7500 km interval applies for diesel operation with high sulphur content - it does not apply for the Czech Republic (for further information
refer to Technical Service Handbook)
Work involvedChapter
–Change engine oil
–Replace engine oil filter02-3
–Disc brake pads: Inspect thickness02-5
–Reset service interval display02-6
–Drain away water from the fuel filter (diesel engine with fuel operation, which does not
comply with DIN EN 590-standard)
After each oil change
–Complete „Next service date“ sticker (max. 1 year or 15 000 km) and affix sticker to the
side of the dash panel (on the driver's side)
–Complete and attach service mirror tag to the interior rear-view mirror
–Hand customer the completed and signed form
Chapter
♦For vehicles with a high mileage carry out an Oil Change Service no later than after 15
000 km1). Carry out Annual Inspection after 30 000 km prior to the scheduled date02-3
♦Every 2 years - in addition change brake fluid 02-5
♦Every 4 years - in addition, change air filter element and clean air filter housing - vehicles
driven less than 60 000 km within 4 years - replace contents set for tyre repair 02-3
♦Every 5 years - replace the emergency battery for the alarm 02-6

The timing belt must most definitely be replaced if any
shortcomings are found. This will help prevent any fail-
ures or operational problems. Replacing the timing belt is
a repair measure.
Replacing toothed belt and guide pulley
for camshaft drive (1.9 SDI engines)
–Removing and installing the toothed belt
⇒Rep. Gr. 13; 1.9/47 SDI engine, Mechanics.
Inspecting engine oil level
When inspecting, pay attention to the following points:
Before inspecting, warm up the engine to normal temper-
ature.
Wait at least 3 minutes after switching off the engine to al-
low the oil to flow back into the oil pan.
–Withdraw dipstick, wipe off with a clean cloth and re-
insert dipstick fully.
–Withdraw dipstick once again and read off oil level.
Fig. 1: Oil dipstick version I
Fig. 2: Oil dipstick version ll
The oil level in area -a-
–The oil must be topped up. It is sufficient when the oil
level rises to the area -b-.
The oil level in area -b-
–The oil can be topped up. It is possible that the oil level
will rise to the area -c-.
The oil level in area -c-
–The oil must not be topped up.
♦The oil level must not, under any circumstances, be
above area -a- - danger of damage to the catalytic
converter.
♦The vehicle must be standing on level ground when
measuring the oil level. Wait a few minutes after
switching off the engine to allow the oil to flow back
into the oil pan.
Change engine oil
♦The engine oil should always be changed, if possible,
when the engine is at normal operating temperature.
♦If the engine oil is drained, replace the seal of the oil
drain plug.
