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
CAUTION
If the oil level is above area
, do not start
the engine. This could result in damage to
the engine and catalytic converter. Contact
a Technical Service.

Topping up engine oil
●
Unscrew cap from engine oil filler opening
.
●
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
●
If necessary, add some more oil.
●
When the oil level reaches at least zone
B
, unscrew the engine oil filler
cap carefully
The position of the oil filler opening is shown
in the corresponding engine compartment

Engine oil specification
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
,
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
. 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.
