If the oils specified above are not available, oils according to ACEA B3 or
ACEA B4 can be used once for refilling.
CAUTION
Only the above-mentioned oils can be used on vehicles with flexible service in-
tervals. We recommend always refilling with oil of the same specification since
this will maintain the properties of the oil. In exceptional cases, a maximum of
0.5 l of specification VW 502 00 (only for petrol engines) or specification
VW 505 01 (only for diesel engines) engine oil can be used to refill once. Other
engine oils must not be used - there is risk of engine damage.Checking the oil levelFig. 128
Principle sketch: Dipstick
Read and observe and on page 141 first.
The dipstick indicates the engine oil level » Fig. 128.
Checking the oil level
Ensure that the vehicle is positioned on a level surface and the engine has
reached its operating temperature.
›
Switch off the engine.
Wait a few minutes until the engine oil flows back into the sump.
›
Open the bonnet.
›
Pull out the dipstick.
›
Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth and insert it again to the stop.
›
Pull the dipstick out again and check the oil level.

The engine burns some oil. The oil consumption may be as much as 0.5 l/
1 000 km depending on your style of driving and the conditions under which
you operate your vehicle. Consumption may be slightly higher than this during
the first 5 000 kilometres.
The oil level must be checked at regular intervals. We recommend it be
checked after each time you refuel or prior to making a long journey. 

Mark for the lowest permissible level of coolant.
The coolant level should be kept between the marks A

Check the level of coolant at the coolant expansion vessel » Fig. 129.
Check the coolant level only when the engine is cold.
If the engine is warm, the test result may be inaccurate. The stand can also be
above the mark

ant . We still recommend inspecting the coolant level directly at the reservoir
from time to time.
Loss of coolant
A loss of coolant is first and foremost an indication of a leak in the system. Do
not merely top up the coolant. Have the cooling system checked by a specialist
garage.
Replenishing
Read and observe
and on page 143 first.
Only top up with new coolant.
›
Switch off the engine.
›
Allow the engine to cool.

Do not continue your journey if the fluid level has fallen below the MIN
marking » Fig. 130 on page 145 - there is a risk of an accident. Seek help
from a specialist garage.

Read and observe and on page 145 first.
The brake fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment » Fig. 130.
›
Switch off the engine.
›
Open the bonnet.
›
Check the level of brake fluid in the reservoir » Fig. 130.
The level must be between the “MIN” and “MAX” markings.
A slight drop in the fluid level results in operation due to normal wear and tear
and the automatic adjustment of the brake pads.
There may be an indication of a leak in the brake system, however, if the fluid level drops significantly within a short time or if it drops below the “MIN” mark-
ing.
If the brake fluid level is too low, this is indicated by the indicator light

Brake fluid absorbs moisture. Over time it therefore absorbs moisture from theenvironment.
Excessive water in the brake fluid may be the cause of corrosion in the brake
system.
The water content lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid.
The brake fluid must comply with the following standards or specifications: › VW 50114;
› FMVSS 116 DOT4.
