Checking and refilling levels
● Zone
A
: do not add oil.
●
Zone
B
: you can add oil but keep the level
in that zone.
●
Zone
C
: add oil until zone
B
.
Depending on how you drive and the condi-
tions in which the vehicle is used, oil con-
sumption can be up to 0.5 l/1000 km. Oil
consumption is likely to be higher for the first
5,000 km. For this reason the engine oil level
must be checked at regular intervals, pref-
erably when filling the tank and before a
journey.
WARNING
Any work carried out in the engine com-
partment or on the engine must be carried
out cautiously.
●
When working in the engine compart-
ment, always observe the safety warnings
›››
page 316 .
CAUTION
If the oil level is above area
A
, do not start
the engine. This could result in damage to
the engine and catalytic converter. Contact
a Technical Service.

Fig. 258 .
●
Carefully add oil in small quantities (no
more than 0.5 l).
●
To avoid adding too much oil, whenever
you add a certain amount, wait about 2 mi-
nutes and recheck the oil level
›››
page 320 .
●
If necessary, add some more oil.
●
When the oil level reaches at least zone
›››

WARNING
Oil is highly inflammable! Ensure that no oil
comes into contact with hot engine com-
ponents when topping up.
CAUTION
If the oil level is above area
›››
Fig. 257
A
,
do not start the engine. This could result in
damage to the engine and catalytic con-
verter. Contact a specialised workshop.
For the sake of the environment
The oil level must never be above zone
›››
Fig. 257
A
. Otherwise oil can be drawn in
through the crankcase breather and leak
into the atmosphere via the exhaust sys-
tem.
Note
Before a long trip, we recommend finding
an engine oil that conforms to the corre-
sponding VW specifications and recom-
mend keeping it in the vehicle. This way,
the correct engine oil will always be availa-
ble for a top-up if needed.
