Inspection and maintenance operations on the engine

Check before and after drive

check the engine oil level, for proper check be sure the engine temperature is at least 70°C, turn the engine off and after two minutes
read the indicator, the level should be in the upper half of MIN/MAX range
check the coolant level in the expansion tank
check the tightness and any leaks of petrol hose connection in supply to a high pressure pump
while engine is running check for any leaks of all uid circuits
check the automatic switch of fan cooler when the temperature reaches 75 °C (the fan turns on gradually while the temperature reaches approx. 70°C)
do not put load on the engine while the temperature is below 80°C
after the engine load always cool down the turbocharger in idling mode for about 2-4 minutes
do not turn the engine off while the temperature is higher than 85°C
minimum amount of fuel in the tank for safe operation is 12 l, operation below this level could cause damage of the engine

Oil exchange intervals

Oil exchange intervals

Engine: maximum mileage 1000 km. BENET recommends oil VMP 5W30 (5,6l)
Transmission: maximum mileage 3000 km. BENET recommends oil RAVENOL DSG/DCT (7,3l)

Transmission lling instructions:

It is necessary to ll the new transmission (e.g. after its revision) with 7,3 l of prescribed oil with use of DSG transmission lling device.
After lling it is necessary to lift at least the front axle and shift all gears (reverse included).
When this step is done it is necessary to drain out all the excessive oil via draining screw no.1 without turning the engine off. This means loosen the screw, let
the excessive oil to drain out and then tighten the screw.

For transmission oil exchange follow these steps: Loosen the draining screw no.1, let the oil drain out and then loosen draining screw no.2 to drain all residual oil
out (using 8 mm Allen key, inside the transmission). When previous step is done remove oil lter and replace it with a new one (original VW spare part).
Next step of transmission lling is identical to the “new transmission lling” procedure.
