mal. The coolant does not have to be sucked
off.
— Check the coolant level at the side mark-
ings of the coolant expansion tank when
the electric drive is cold → Fig. 179 . The
coolant level must be between the marks.
— Refill coolant if the liquid level in the cool-
ant expansion tank is below the minimum
marking (“min”). When the engine is
warm, the engine coolant level may be
slightly above the upper mark.
Adding coolant
The warning lamp for the coolant will light up
if the coolant level is too low. In this case,
seek specialist assistance immediately.
Observe the following if the coolant level is
too low and there is no qualified workshop in
the near vicinity:
— Always protect your face, hands and arms
from hot coolant or steam by placing
a suitable cloth on the cap of the coolant
expansion tank.
— Unscrew the cap carefully → .
— Refill only new coolant according to the
Volkswagen specification → page 315.
— Only refill coolant if there is still a remain-
ing quantity of coolant in the expansion
tank. If this is not observed, the engine
could be damaged. If you cannot see any
coolant in the expansion tank do not drive
on. Seek expert assistance.
— If there is still a residual quantity of cool-
ant in the coolant expansion tank, add
coolant up to the upper level marking and
check after one day. If the level drops
again, please visit a qualified workshop
and have the cooling system checked.
— The coolant level must be between the
marks on the coolant expansion tank
→ Fig. 179 . Do not fill above the top edge
of the marked area → .
— Screw the cap closed tightly.
— If in an emergency you do not have access
to coolant with the required specification,
do not use any other coolant additive
→ page 315! Instead, initially refill with
distilled water → only. Then add the
correct proportion of the specified coolant
additive as soon as possible → page 315.
WARNING
Hot steam and hot coolant can cause seri-
ous burns.
·
Never open the bonnet if you can see or
hear steam or coolant coming out of the
front compartment. Always wait until
you can no longer see or hear escaping
steam or coolant. Hot components can
burn the skin.
·
The following must be observed before
opening the bonnet:
— Switch on the electronic parking
brake.
— Always keep children away from the
front compartment and never leave
them unsupervised.
·
The cooling system is under pressure
when the engine is hot. Never open the
cap of the coolant expansion tank when
the engine is hot. Coolant may spray out
and cause serious burns and other inju-
ries.
— Turn the cap slowly and very carefully
anticlockwise while exerting gentle
downward pressure on the cap.
— Always protect the face, hands and
arms from hot coolant or steam with
a large, thick cloth.
NOTICE
·
Refill only with distilled water. All other
types of water can cause corrosion in the
engine due to the chemical components
contained in the water. This can also lead
to engine failure. If any other type of wa-
ter is refilled, the fluid in the cooling sys-
tem should be completely replaced imme-
diately by a qualified workshop.
·
Do not fill coolant above the top of the
marked area → Fig. 179 . Otherwise the ex-
cess coolant will be pressed out of the
Coolant 317
