24 Overview of the vehicle
In ve hicles with fixed service, services ta ke place
at prede fin ed int ervals .
The service intervals are calculated on an individu­
al basis in ve hicles with flexible service. Advan­
c es in technology have brought about a considera­
ble redu ction in servi cing re quirements . An oil
chang e service must only be carried out when re ­
quired by the vehicle. The individual conditions in
which the ve hile is used , as the driver's pe rsonal
driv i
ng style , are taken into account. The se rvice
reminder is displayed 30 da ys befor e the service is
due . The dista nce is round ed to the nearest
100 km ; th e re maining time is rounded to full days.
Service warning
If an oil change service or inspection is due soon,
a service warning
will appear th e next time the ig­
nition is switched on

• Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away
from moving traffic and so that no part of the
exhaust system can come into contact with
any inflammable material underneath the ve­
hicle, e .g . dry grass, fuel, oil etc.
• Broken-down vehicles increase the risk of
accidents both for you and for other road
users. If necessary, switch on the hazard
warning lights and set up the warning trian­
gle to warn other road users.
Failure to observe illuminated indicator lamps

Changes to the functioning of the rain
sensor
Possible causes for faults and misinterpretations
concerning the sensitive surface~ Fig. 90 of the
rain sensor include:
• Damaged wiper blades: a film of water or
smears caused by damaged wiper blades
can in­
crease the length of time for which the wipers are
switched on, shorten the length of the intervals be­
tween wipes, or cause the wipers to run continu­
ously.
• Insects: insects hitting the surface can cause
the wipers to be activated.
• Salt deposits : in winter, salt deposits can cause
the wiper to continue to wipe the windscreen when
it is almost dry.
• Soiling : dry dust, wax, windscreen coatings (lo·
tus effect) or detergent deposits (automatic car
wash) can cause the rain sensor to become less
sensitive and react too slowly or even not at all.
• Crack
in the windscreen : when the windscree~

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Engine oil specification
r-T'n First read and observe the introductory
L-WJ information and safety warnings~ on
page 281.
The engine oil used must correspond exactly to
specifications .
The correct engine oil is important for the function
and service l
ife of the engine . A special high quali­
ty multigrade oil has been filled at the factory and
th is can
normally be used as an all-season oil.
If possible , only use Volkswagen-approved engine
o il
~CD. To comply with the requirements of the
flexible service, only use approved flexible service
engine oil that
complies with the corresponding
VW standard (~table on page 282). The engine
o ils listed are
multigrade high-lubricity oils.
Engine oils are constantly being developed and
im­
proved . A Volkswagen dealership is always kept
up to date on innovations . Volkswagen therefore
recommends having engine oil changes done by a
Volkswagen dealership. The
qu
ality of the engine oil is not only ta ilor ed to
the requirements of engines and exhaust gas treat.
ment systems, but also to fuel quality . Due to the
way
in which a combustion engine works, engine
oil always comes into contact with combustion
resl­
dues and fuel, which has a kno ck-o n effect on the
ageing process of the oil.
The quality of fuels can var y gr ea tly between lndl·
vidual markets and this must be take n Into account
when selecting the correct engine oil.
The use of engine oils compliant with the
VW
504 00 und VW 507 00 specific ations requires
a fuel quality compliant with EN 228 (petrol) and
EN 590 (diesel). Engine oils compliant with
VW
504 00 und VW 507 00 are therefore unsult·
able for use in a large number of markets.
