Check the coolant level with the engine off.
The coolant level with a cold engine must be between the marks «MAX «And «MIN» expansion tank. When the engine is warm, the coolant level may be slightly above the mark «MAX».
Caution: When the engine is hot, open the expansion tank cap with care. Steam scalding hazard! Open the lid and put a cloth on it. If possible, open the cap when the coolant temperature is below +90°C.
When opening the cap, first unscrew only one turn to relieve excess pressure. After that, unscrew the cover to the end and remove.
To avoid engine damage, add cold coolant only when the engine is cold.
To replenish the coolant level, including in the warm season, use only a mixture of soft clean water and original VAG G-011-V8C antifreeze.
Attention: In order to be able to continue driving, it is also possible, especially in summer, to top up with clean water. However, after this, it is necessary to bring the concentration of antifreeze in the coolant to the required level as soon as possible.
If the coolant level drops below the mark in a short time «MIN», visually check the cooling system for leaks.
