Important notes:
Due to the constant increase in the use of electronic equipment, the complication of the fuel system and the exhaust gas control system, along with the general technical improvement of modern cars, there is less and less opportunity for their independent maintenance and repair by the owners themselves. To carry out maintenance, adjustments and repair work, special tools, control devices and other equipment are usually required along with high professionalism in order to ensure safe, reliable operation of the car and many of its systems.
Carrying out poor-quality repairs, maintenance, adjustment operations leads to deterioration of the car's operation and even interruption of warranty obligations. Therefore, with strict adherence to the maintenance schedule, there is a possibility of warranty repair of the car's malfunction during the warranty period.
In case of any difficulties connected with the maintenance of your vehicle, please contact a Volkswagen dealer or other highly qualified specialists. In any case, it is strongly recommended that you leave the maintenance and repair of your vehicle to a dealer officially authorized by Volkswagen. They have all the necessary equipment, spare parts and highly qualified specialists to ensure that your vehicle operates properly.
Below is a description of a limited range of operations that do not require special tools or highly qualified workers to perform them.
Caution: Failure to follow maintenance schedules or improper adjustments or repairs may result in serious injury.
The engine compartment of any mobile vehicle is a potentially dangerous area.
Do not attempt to perform any operations related to maintenance, repair and performance control of the vehicle yourself if you do not have sufficient knowledge and skills to do so. In this case, contact your Volkswagen dealer or a highly qualified auto repair shop.
If you need to perform any work under the car, be sure to place it on safety stands. The jack supplied with the car is not suitable for these purposes.
If you are working under a vehicle without safety stands and with the wheels on the ground, always make sure the vehicle is on a level surface, the wheels are chocked and the ignition key is removed.
When working on a vehicle, exercise extreme caution. Observe all safety precautions.
Changing the engine's adjustment parameters will result in a deterioration in the cleanliness of the exhaust gases, which will ultimately contribute to more intense environmental pollution and increased fuel consumption.
When disposing of used motor oil, brake fluid, coolant, old tires, batteries, always follow the environmental protection regulations.
