Diesel
r'""'('n First read and observe the Introductory L-J,:.U Information and safety warnings & on page 343.
Diesel
Diesel fuel must comply with the European stand-ard EN 590 (in Germany DIN EN 590).
The service intervals are shorter if you use diesel with a high sulphur content =>Booklet Service schedule =>CD. A Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership will be able to tell you which countries have diesel with a high sulphur content.
Where diesel fuel complying with the EN 590 standard is not available, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealerships and filling stations will have information on which fuels do comply with the EN 590 standard.
Do not mix fuel additives (thinners. or similar addi-tives) with diesel.
Winter diesel
When using summer-grade diesel. difficulties may be experienced at temperatures below o•c (+32.F)
because the fuel thickens due to paraffin separa-tion. For this reason winter-grade diesel which can be used at temperatures below -2o•c (·4°F) is available in countries such as Germany during the cold months.
In countries with different climatic conditions the diesel sold generally has different temperature characteristics. Check with a Volkswagen Com-mercial Vehicles dealer or filling stations in the country concerned regarding the type of diesel fuels available.
it is not unusual for a cold diesel engine to be loud-er in cold temperatures that in warm weather. In addition, exhaust emissions may be tinged with blue while the engine starts and reaches operating temperature. The amount of exhaust fumes de-pends on the outside temperature.
CD
• Just one tankful of leaded fuel, or fuel con-taining other metallic additives, can seriously Impair the efficiency of the catalytic converter and can also cause considerable damage to the catalytic converter and engine. Filter preheater
Diesel vehicles are equipped with a filter pre-heat-er system. This ensures that the fuel system re-mains operational even down to approximately -24•c (-11.F) provided that winter-grade diesel which is safe down to -15•c (+5.F) is used.
However, if the fuel has thickened to such an ex-tent that the engine will not start at temperatures below -24•c (-11.F) simply place the vehicle in a warm garage or workshop for a while.
Supplementary heater
Vehicles fitted with a diesel engine may also be equipped with a fuel-driven supplementary heater. This heater is powered with fuel from the vehicle tank. In this case, odour and water vapour may es-cape from the vehicle, and there may be a greater quantity of smoke. This is quite normal when the system is in use, and does not indicate damage or a fault in the system.
The supplementary heater will be switched off au-tomatically if the level in the fuel tank is low (re-serve level).
A WARNING
Never use a start booster. Start boosters may explode or cause the engine to suddenly run at high revs, which can cause serious Injuries and engine damage.
CD
• Before filling up with diesel, check whether the fuel corresponds to the vehicle's require-ments according to the fuel standard Informa-tion at the pump.
• Only use fuel that complies with the EN 590 standard and has the correct cetane number. Otherwise, the engine and the fuel system can suffer considerable damage. The engine can al-so lose power or fall. ..,.

Automatic switch-off for electrical consumers
The intelligent vehicle electrical system automati-cally implements a range of measures to prevent the battery from discharging under high loads:
• The idling speed is increased so that the alter-nator provides more electricity.
• The performance of large electrical consumers may be reduced or they may be switched off com-pletely.
• The supply of electricity to the 12-volt sockets and the cigarette lighter is interrupted temporarily while the engine is being started.
The vehicle electrical system cannot always pre-vent the vehicle battery from discharging. For ex-ample, if the ignition is left on for an extended peri-od of time with the engine off, or if the parking light is left on when the vehicle is parked for an exten-ded period.
What can cause the vehicle battery to discharge?
• Long periods at a standstill in which the engine is not running, especially if the ignition is switched on.
• The use of electrical consumers when the en-gine is switched off.
• When the supplementary heater is in operation =>page 332.
A WARNING
Incorrectly attaching the battery and using In-correct vehicle batteries can cause short cir-cuits, fire and serious Injuries.
366 I Cleaning and maintenance
A WARNING (Continued)
• Always use maintenance-free and leak-proof batteries that have the same properties, specifications and dimensions as the factory-fitted vehicle battery.
A WARNING
A highly explosive mixture of gases Is given off when the vehicle battery is being charged.
• Vehicle batteries should only be charged in well-ventilated spaces.
• Never charge a vehicle battery once it has been frozen. Discharged vehicle batteries can even freeze at temperatures of around o•c (+32.FJ.
• The vehicle battery has to be replaced if it has ever been frozen.
• Incorrectly connected cables can cause a short circuit. First connect the positive cable and then the negative cable.

Removing wax
Car washes and care products could leave wax deposits on the glass surfaces. Wax residue can only be removed using a special cleaning product or cleaning cloths. Wax deposits on the wind-screen can cause the wiper blades to rub. Volks-wagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that a glass cleaning cloth G 052 522 A1 be used to re-move wax deposits from the windows and exterior mirrors each time the vehicle is washed.
A window cleaning agent specifically for removing wax will stop the blades rubbing if added to the windscreen wash water. Dilute the cleaner as in-structed. Grease-removing cleaners will not re-move wax deposits =-CD.
Special cleaners, glass cleaners and glass clean-ing cloths are available from Volkswagen Commer-cial Vehicles dealerships.
Removing snow
Use a small brush to remove snow from the win-dows and exterior mirrors.
Removing ice
The best method for removing ice is to use a de-icer spray. If you use an ice scraper, do not move it to and fro, but push it in one direction only. Mov-ing the ice scraper backwards can cause dirt to scratch the window.
