The permitted oil consumption per 1000 km of run is no more than 1 l. Exceeding this volume indicates wear of the oil-deflecting caps and/or piston rings.
No special tools or devices are required.
Necessary consumables
Motor oil recommended by VW.
Examination
1. Warm up the engine and place the car on a horizontal surface.
The information is presented on the website VWmanual.ru
2. Turn off the engine and wait for about a few minutes to allow the oil to drain into the pan.
3. Remove the oil level indicator rod 2 (dipstick) and wipe it dry with a clean rag (see illustration).
4. Insert the dipstick all the way into place, then pull it out again and check the oil level.
The engine oil level is normal if it is within the B mark on the dipstick (see illustration 7.4).
If the oil level is near the mark indicated by the letter C in Illustration 7.4, then oil is needed.
If the oil level is within the limits indicated by the letter A, then there is no need to add oil.
Caution! If the oil level is above the A mark, the excess oil should be removed, as this may damage the sealing gaskets or the catalytic converter.
Under high operating loads on the engine, for example, during constant long-distance summer travel, operating the vehicle with a trailer or in mountainous terrain, the engine oil level should be at the top of the B mark on the dipstick (see illustration 7.4).
5. Fill the oil through the oil filler neck in the cylinder head cover (see illustration 7.4). Use only recommended types and brands of oils, do not use any additives, see chapter "Engine lubrication system".
6. Replace the dipstick and screw the filler cap onto the filler neck.
