ENGINE OIL: Approximate quantities! Use API SERVICE SJ.", ACEA A2 or ACEA A3. Do not overfill! Overfilling engine oil can cause misfire DTC’s to be
stored in Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-. To prevent overfilling, add approx. 0.5L less than capacity, start engine and let run until engine operating tempera-
ture is approx. 60_C (140_F), turn OFF ignition, wait approx. 3 minutes, check dipstick, then fill to MAX. See Repair Manual for details and owners manual for
viscosities.
* 1.8T (AMB) MUST use oil meeting VW 502 00 standard ONLY(0W40 or 5W40 or 5W30), and oil filter Pt. No. 068 115 561B. See TB in Grp 17.
 MANUAL TRANS.: Use synthetic oil, SAE 75W90 Part No. G 052 911 A1. Use gear oil GL 5 SAE 90 for 01R rear final drive.
 AUTOMATIC TRANS.: Life-time filling, new fill quantities are for reference only. Only replace after repair (i.e. when removing oil pan). See Repair Manual
(AESIS) for details. Use VW ATF, Part No. G 052 162 A2 for 01V. CVT Only: use G 052 180 A2.
 AUTOMATIC TRANS. DIFF: Use synthetic oil, SAE 75W90, Part No. G 052 145 A2 . Use G 052 190 A2 for CVT, Use gear oil GL 5 SAE 90 for 01R final drive.
 COOLING SYSTEM: Use only phosphate free coolant G 012 A8F A4 ( PURPLE COLORED). DO NOT INTERCHANGE OR MIX older G 011 A8C or G 012 A8D
with G 012 A8F A4. This can result in serious damage to the engine. Frost protection is required down to approximately -25_C (-13_F). In countries with arctic
climates, frost protection is required down to approximately –35_C (–31_F). The anti-freeze ratio must be a minimum of 40%, as otherwise frost protection is
reduced. The recommended mixture ratio is 50:50. If greater frost protection is required (very cold climates), the amount of G 012 A8F A4 can be increased, but
only up to 60%. This provides frost protection to approx. -40_C (–40_F). Do not reduce the coolant concentration by adding water, even in warmer seasons and
in warmer countries, as cooling effectiveness will be reduced.
 POWER STEERING: Hydraulic oil G002 000 . Do not use ATF. Do not reuse drained fluid.

BRAKE FLUID: Use new brake fluid in accordance with US standard FMVSS 116 Dot 4, Part No. B000 700A. Always siphon some brake fluid from reservoir
before replacing brake pads. Refer to Cautions and Warnings in Repair Manual (AESIS).
CAUTION! Part numbers are for reference only. Always check with your Parts Dept. for the latest parts information.
