Starting
the
engine

General
hints
Attention

When
starting
the
engine
in con­

fined
spaces
there
is a
danger
of poisoning.
• Before starting, move gear lever to neu- ml
(with
automatic gearbox, selector lever -
"P"
or "N" position) and apply handbrake
I 'mly.
• On vehicles
with
a manual gearbox de-
:"9ss
the clutch pedal when operating

=:arter
so
that
starter only has to
turn
en­
gine.

• As soon as engine starts, release the gnition key so
that
starter can disengage.
• After starting a cold engine it may sound
_oisy
for a moment or two because the oil pressure has to build up in the hydraulic
tappets
first.
This is normal and no cause for
a
arm. Do not
warm
engine
up by run-
W>
ning
it
with
vehicle
stationary.
Drive
off
straight
away.

Do
not overrev or use
full
throttle
until the
engine has reached the normal operating
Temperature. • On vehicles
with
a
catalytic
con­

verter
the
engine
must
not be

started
by
towing
the
vehicle
in ex­

cess
of 50 m.
Otherwise
unburnt

fuel
can pass
into
the
converter
and
lead
to
damage.

•
Before
trying
to
start
engine
by
towing,
the
battery
from
another
ve­
hicle
should be used for
starting
if
possible - see
page
130.
Petrol
engines

These
engines are equipped
with
a cer: ~-
jection system
that
automatically s^c; es the correct fuel/air mixture at ail anc e~:
temperatures.

When
engine is cold or at
operating

temperature
do not accelerate before or
during the starting procedure.
Applicable to all engines:
If the engine does not start at once, stop

using
the starter after 10
sees,
wait about
half a minute and then try again. If the engine still does not start, the electric
fuel pump fuse may have blown - see page
122.

When
the engine is
very
hot it may be
necessary
to accelerate slightly after the
engine has started.

Diesel
engines

Glow plug system

The
engine is
fitted
with
a glow plug
sys­
tem.
The required glow plug warm-up time
is
indicated by a lamp which is controlled by
the coolant temperature - see page 49.
Cold
starting
aid

To
assist cold starting, there is a device (cold starting aid)
fitted
in the injection
pump.

The
cold starting aid is actuated when the knob on the
left
of the steering column is

fully
pulled out.
Starting
a cold
engine

• At ambient temperatures down to -15
degrees
C, pull the cold start knob our

fully
before operating the starter.
At lower temperatures, the knob should not
be
pulled out
until
engine
is
firing
reg­
ularly
- the engine will then start more
readily.
• Turn the key in the ignition lock to
posi­
tion 2 (see page 36) - the glow plug warning lamp comes on. It goes out when the igni­
tion temperature is reached (see page 49).

While
the
glow
plugs are
working
do not
switch
on any
other
heavy
cur­

rent
consumers because
this
would

place an unnecessary load on the

battery.

• When the warning lamp goes out, start the engine immediately.

Do
not depress the accelerator while start­

ing.

If the engine only fires irregularly, continue
to operate the starter a few seconds longer (30 seconds at maximum) until the engine runs under its own power.
If the engine does not start, switch the glow
plugs on again and try starting it again as de­

scribed.
If the engine still does not start the
fuse for the glow plugs may have blown -
page123.
•
Push
the cold start aid knob in fully as

soon
as the engine has reached its normal
operating temperature.

Starting
a
warm
engine

The
glow plug lamp does not come on - the engine can be started straight away. Do not pull the cold start aid knob and do not press
the accelerator pedal.

Warning
lamps

~ne layout of the warning lamps depends on
:ne model and the engine fitted. The sym-
: ols shown here are also on the actual warn-ng lamps.
|- Coolant temperature/ coolant level 47
1- Engine oil pressure 47
I- High beams 48
-- Turn signals 48

Brake system 48
V Alternator 49
" Glow plugs 49 Coolant
temperature/

Coolant level1'

This
lamp flashes for a few seconds as a
functional check when ignition is switched
on.

If the lamp does not go out afterwards or

flashes
when driving, either the coolant
temperature is too high orthe coolant level1'
too low:
Stop,
switch
engine
off and check

level.
Add coolant if necessary.
11 Only on vehicles
with
automatic coolant level monitor(see page 102).
Attention

• Be
careful
when
opening the

coolant
expansion
tank!
When
the
engine
is hot the cooling
sys­

tem is
under
pressure -
Danger
of scalding!
Therefore
let
engine
cool
down
before
unscrewing

the cap.
• Do not
touch
the fan. The fan can
switch
on suddenly -
even

when
ignition
is
switched
off.

For
further details see pages 102 and 103.
If the coolant level is in order the trouble
may be due to failure of the radiator fan.

Check
radiator fan fuse and renew if
necessary-seepage
122.
If the warning lamp does not go out al­
though coolant level and fan fuse are in order, do not
drive
on - call in expert as­

sistance.

If the trouble is only caused by the fan and

assuming
coolant level is in order and tem­ perature warning lamp is out - one can drive
on to the nearest Volkswagen dealer. In
order to make good use of the air stream for

cooling,
do not let engine idle or drive very
slowly.

Notes

Pools of
water
under
the
vehicle

• When the ambient temperature is high
and
the air very humid, condensed water

can
drip off the evaporator and form a puddle under the vehicle. This is quite nor­

mal
and does not indicate a leak.

Operating
faults

• Should the air conditioner not work at
any
time, either:
- the ambient temperature is below about + 5 degrees C,
- the fuse has blown.

Check
fuse and if necessary renew it - see

page
122. If the trouble is not due to
a
defec­
tive fuse, switch the system off and have it
checked.

- the air conditioner has switched off due to the coolant temperature being too high -
see
page 41
also.

• If the cooling
output
drops off, switch the
A/C
off and have the system
checked.
Using air
conditioner

economically
In cooling operation the air conditioner
com­

pressor
places demands on the engine and
therefore influences the fuel consumption.

To
keep the period switched on as short as
possible,
the following points should be

noted:

• If the inside temperature is very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun, it is recommended to open doors or win­

dows
briefly to enable the hot air to
escape.

• The air conditioner should not be
switched
on during a journey if the windows

or
sliding/tilting
roof*
are open.
• If the desired interior temperature can be attained
without
switching on the air condi­
tioner, the fresh air operation should be se­
lected.
Recirculating
air
switch

If badly contaminated air is to be prevented
from entering the vehicle, e.g. when driving
through a tunnel, the recirculating air switch in the instrument panel can be
pressed.

When
the recirculating air system is
switched
on, a small warning lamp lights up in the switch.

However,
the recirculating air system

should
only be used for a short period other­

wise
the windows will mist up.

DO-IT-YOURSELF

Fuses

The
individual current circuits are protected by fuses..

The
central electrics
with
the relays is on
the
left
in the footwell behind a hinged shelf. It is advisable to always carry a few spare

fuses
on the vehicle. These can be obtained
from any Volkswagen dealer. Changing a fuse
• Switch off the component concerned. • Take box or lid off by turning knob 90 de­
grees
to
right
or
left,
then pull and unhook box or lid out of retainers at the bottom.
• With the aid of the list of fuses (see next
page),
determine which fuse belongs to the
component
that
has failed. • Pull out the fuse concerned.
• Replace blown fuse - can be recognised
by the burnt metal strip -
with
a fuse of

same
amperage.
• Insert box or lid by turning knob again
905
to
right
or
left,
hook box or lid on at bot­
tom, swing up and press knob in.

Notes

• If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical system must be checked by
a
Volkswagen dealer as

soon
as possible.
• On no account should fuses be
patched
up because
this
can cause
serious
damage
elsewhere
in the

electrical
system.
• Some of the components listed are only found on certain models or are optional ex­
tras.
