type of service.
With immediate effect, these PR numbers only denote whether
an engine oil level sensor is installed or not and no longer have
an influence on the oil change interval.
2.1.2 Flexible service

The flexible service enables long service intervals, depending on
individual driving style and the conditions under which the vehicle
is used.
Note
For the flexible service, special LongLife engine oil is required.

⇒ page 12
Vehicles with PR number “QG1” or “QI6” are set up for flexible

service when they leave the factory. This means, these vehicles
have a flexible service interval display and are fitted with the fol‐
lowing components:
♦ Flexible service interval display in dash panel insert
♦ Engine oil level sensor
2. Service work 9
♦ Brake pad wear indicator (if fitted)

For vehicles with flexible service the service interval is determined
by the control unit and is indicated on service interval display
(SID) ⇒ page 11 .
Therefore the service intervals are flexible.
2.1.3 Fixed service

For vehicles with a fixed service, fixed services are calculated.
This means that the mileage or time values are already set by
Volkswagen. For normal operating conditions achieving these
service intervals is technically assured.
Therefore the service intervals are fixed.
For vehicles
♦ Which have not been delivered with extended servicing inter‐
vals (ESI) (PR numbers “QG0”, “QG2”, “QI1”, “QI2”, “QI3”,
“QI4”, “QI7”.
♦ or for which the extended servicing interval (ESI) was stopped
♦ or for which no LongLife engine oil was used

These non-flexible service intervals apply to all types of service
including an engine oil change.
Vehicles with PR number “QG0”
The vehicles are “not” factory-fitted with components for flexible
service. Fixed service intervals apply for maintenance.
The PR number is valid only to ►2012.

1)A new engine oil filter must be installed at every engine oil
change.
2) Only applies to diesel engines: in some countries, diesel has a
high sulphur content. The high sulphur content leads to excessive
wear of cylinders and it considerably reduces the cleanliness of
pistons. Therefore change the engine oil every 7,500 km in coun‐

cted agen
Prote AG.
WARNING
♦ Before driving onto a lifting platform, ensure that there is

sufficient clearance between low-lying vehicle compo‐
nents and lifting platform.
♦ Before driving a vehicle onto a lifting platform it must be
ensured that the vehicle weight does not exceed the per‐
missible lifting capacity of the platform.
♦ Vehicle may be lifted only at points indicated in figure to
avoid damaging vehicle underbody or tipping vehicle.
♦ Never start engine and engage a gear with vehicle lifted
as long as even one driven wheel has contact with the
floor! Disregarding these warnings risks the danger of an
accident!
♦ If work is to be performed under vehicle, it must be sup‐
ported by suitable jack stands.

3.9 Countries where diesel has a high sul‐

phur content
Applies only to diesel engines, as diesel fuel in some countries
has a high sulphur content The high sulphur content leads to ex‐
cessive wear of cylinders and it considerably reduces the clean‐
liness of pistons. Therefore change engine oil every 7,500 km in
countries where the diesel has a high sulphur content.

– Check also suspension link mountings -arrow- for following

damage:
♦ Large cracks, perforating cracks or cuts in rubber material.
♦ Complete separation of rubber and metal parts.
♦ Large play between mounting and suspension link, which has
a considerably negative effect on the function of the mounting.

♦ Superficial cracks and cuts as well as minor separations of the

rubber element from the metal part do not significantly affect
the operation of the elasto-kinematic mounting and do not
constitute a basis for a complaint.
♦ Damage to the thin rubber skin over cavities due to construc‐
tion is also permissible.
♦ Play between bearing and axle component is permissible as
long as there is no negative effect on the function of the bear‐
ing.

4.21 Cooling system: Checking frost protec‐

tion and coolant level
Note
♦ The water used for mixing has a major influence on the effec‐
tiveness of the coolant. Because the water quality differs from
country to country and even from region to region, the quality
of the water to be used in the cooling system has been speci‐
fied by Volkswagen. Distilled water fulfils all requirements. It
is therefore recommended to use distilled water when mixing
coolant for topping up or replacing coolant.

the engine to start quickly after parts have been renewed, it is
important to observe the following:

Note
♦ Self-tapping bolts are the standard means of fastening the up‐

per part of air filter to the lower part of air filter and to the intake
connection. If these bolts are loosened or tightened with a
cordless screwdriver, it is possible that the thread in the upper
part of air filter will be damaged.
♦ For this reason it is only permitted to use a power screwdriver,
if the following prerequisites are fulfilled:
♦ The speed of cordless screwdriver must not exceed 200 rpm.
♦ A torque setting must be adjustable.

4.27 Engine oil level: Checking

Note the following:
– After shutting off engine, wait at least 3 minutes so that the oil
can flow back into the sump.
– Pull out dipstick, wipe with a clean cloth and push dipstick in
again to limit stop.
– Pull dipstick out again and read oil level.

Version 1
Note
♦ The oil level must always be in the upper third of area -B- for
the delivery inspection. This way, you will achieve the greatest
possible customer satisfaction.
♦ The oil-change quantity in the service table was determined
experimentally and is sufficient for the technical functionality
of the engine in all operating conditions. During all other serv‐
ice events, the oil level must be checked and corrected as
necessary if the customer requests this. This enables an ad‐
ditional topping-up to the specified oil quantity to the upper limit
of the dip stick. Due to tolerances, the oil temperature and the
drip time, various quantities may be required for topping up.

of anti-theft coding and storing local ra‐
dio stations to station buttons
The anti-theft coding electronically prevents unauthorized per‐
sons from operating the unit after it has been removed from

vehicle. The anti-theft codes are also called radio codes or se‐
curity codes. Security code means that each unit with an anti-theft
coding is programmed with its own code number. This security
code is not active when leaving the factory. The security code is
found on the unit card, if fitted. If the unit card is not fitted, the
security code can be read using vehicle diagnostic tester of a
central database ⇒ page 132 .
Note
If an incorrect code number is entered when releasing the elec‐

tronic lock, the whole procedure can be repeated once. If an
incorrect code number is entered again, the unit is locked for
about one hour. That means, it cannot be used. After one hour,
during which time the unit must remain switched on, the display
extinguishes. The electronic lock can be released as described
above. The cycle two attempts, one hour lock applies again.
Procedure

system "RCD 500" → Electronic anti-theft coding → Deactivating

Note
For vehicles for North America the side adjustment of headlight

is not permitted and has therefore an adjustment screw secured
against turning.
Inclination information in “%” is stamped into trim above headlight.

Headlights must be adjusted according to this information. Per‐
centage given is based on a projection distance of 10 metres.
Example: Converting a dip setting of e.g. 1.0 % is equivalent to
10 cm.
The inclination of headlights of vehicles in the North American
market is to be set to 0.7 %.
The inclination for fog lights is 2.0%.
Note
For certain export markets, halogen headlights with manually

regulated headlight range control are not offered.
– Check headlight height adjustment by setting the maximum

level and monitoring the headlights' light.

– If fitted, then set the headlight range control thumb wheel to

position “0”.
Loading: with one person or 75 kg on the driver seat and the ve‐
hicle otherwise unloaded (unladen weight).
The unladen weight is the weight of vehicle ready for operation
with fuel tank at least 90% full including weight of all equipment
normally carried (e.g. spare wheel, tools, jack, fire extinguisher
etc.).
If the fuel tank is not at least 90% full, then load as follows:
– Read fuel level in fuel tank on fuel gauge. Determine additional
weight from following table and place weight in luggage com‐

Note
In countries and regions where no frost occurs due to the local

climatic conditions, the anti-freeze protection does not need to be
checked.
Read precise value for the following tests at light/dark boundary.

Using a pipette, place a drop of water on the glass to improve the
readability of the light/dark boundary. The bright/dark boundary
can be clearly recognised on the “WATERLINE”.
– Check concentration of anti-freeze additive using refractome‐
ter - T10007 A- .
The scale -4- of the refractometer is applicable for the anti-freeze
protection of the window wash/wipe system.

♦ All vehicle functions which are not necessarily used during
vehicle transportation and require no-load voltage or battery
capacity are switched off with the activated transportation
mode, with regard to the service life of battery.
♦ These are especially all functions in the vehicle which can re‐
duce the battery capacity when being misused.
♦ Examples are radios, electronically operated flaps and attach‐
ments and anti-theft alarm systems which can produce faults
during transportation.

4.64 All-wheel drive coupling: Change oil
Note
♦ On vehicles with all-wheel drive coupling the drain plugs and

sealing plugs of both systems are often interchanged owing to
the integrated housing construction of all-wheel drive coupling
and final drive. Caution must be exercised during maintenance
and servicing as incorrect fitting can cause the all-wheel drive
coupling and the final drive to fail.
♦ The all-wheel drive coupling and the final drive are one system
with separate oil systems.
♦ -1- Sealing plug for filler hole of all-wheel drive coupling oil
♦ -2- Drain plug for all-wheel drive coupling oil
♦ -3- Sealing plug for gear oil filler hole
♦ -4- Drain plug for gear oil

WARNING
For reasons of safety, service and maintenance of the natural

gas system may only be meticulously carried out by specially
trained personnel.
Natural gas is highly flammable and, in combination with air,
creates a combustible mixture.
There must be no open flame or source of ignition near the
natural gas system.
Inhaling natural gas can lead to light-headedness and lung
damage. High concentrations may lead to suffocation due to
lack of oxygen.
Natural gas is NOT odourless because a gas having a strong
odour is added.
