GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
Checking
coolant
level
The
expansion tank
is in the
engine
com
partment on the bulkhead
-
see Fig.
The
correct coolant level
is
essential
to
the satisfactory operation
of
cooling system.
For
this reason, the coolant level should
be
checked
regularly,
and
this
is
best done
when refueling.
The
level
can
only
be
checked properly
when engine
is
not running.
The
coolant level must be between the MIN
and
MAX marks
on the
expansion tank
when engine
is
cold
and can be
slightly
above
the MAX mark when
it
is warm.
When
the
coolant level
is too low on ve
hicles
with
an automatic coolant level moni
toring device,
it is
indicated by the coolant
temperature/coolant level warning lamp
flashing continuously (see page 47).
Coolant
losses
Coolant
loss normally indicates leaks in the
system.
In
this
case
the
cooling system
should
be checked by a Volkswagen dealer
without
delay.
It is
not sufficient merely
to
add
coolant.
In
a
sealed system
losses
can only occur
if
the boiling point
of
the coolant is exceeded
as
a
result
of
overheating, and coolant
is
forced out
of
the system.
Overheating can occur
if:
• the flow
of
cooling air is reduced, e.g.
by
a
radiator
muff,
very
dirty
radiator fins
(leaves,
dust, insects)
or
additional driving
lights
in
front
of
the cooling air intake.
• the boiling point
of
the coolant has been lowered by an incorrect mixture
-
see previ
ous
page.
•
the
radiator
fan is not
working
- see
"Fan"
on next page
-
or, • the vehicle
is
driven up
a
long hill
in too
low a gear
with
engine speed very high and
at very high ambient temperatures
-
see
"Fan"
on
next page.
If
the
cause
of the
overheating cannot
be
found
and
eliminated, contact
a
Volks
wagen dealer
as
soon
as
possible other
wise
serious damage may
be
done
to the
engine.
Topping
up
coolant
Switch
engine
off
and let
it
cool down. Then
cover
expansion tank cap
with
a
cloth and
turn
cap carefully
to
the
left
and remove.
Attention
Do
not
remove
expansion
tank
cap
when
engine
is
hot
-
Danger
of scalding.
System
is
under
pressure.
If, in an
emergency only water
can be
added,
the
correct mixture concentration must be restored
with
the specified coolant
additive (see previous page)
as
soon
as
possible.
