Never spill fluids on the engine or exhaust system when refilling. Spilling fluids onto hot parts
of the engine or exhaust system can cause a fire. Under some conditions, the ethylene glycol
in engine coolant can catch fire.
NOTE
Use distilled water only when adding coolant! All other types of water contain chemical com‐
pounds that can cause extensive corrosion damage to the engine. This can even lead to en‐
gine failure. If you have added non-distilled water, take the vehicle immediately to an autho‐
rized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility to have the coolant sys‐
tem drained, flushed, and refilled completely with the proper coolant.
Refill engine coolant only up to the top edge of the marked fill range ⇒Fig.182 . Excess en‐
gine coolant may be forced out of the engine cooling system when it gets hot and cause
damage.
In the case of significant engine coolant loss, refill engine coolant only when the engine is
completely cooled down. Significant engine coolant loss is a sign of leaks in the cooling sys‐
tem. Have the engine cooling system checked immediately by an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Otherwise the engine may be damaged!
Do not refill engine coolant if there is no coolant in the expansion tank. Air could enter the
cooling system. Do not drive the vehicle! Seek expert assistance. Failure to do so can result in
engine damage.
When changing or topping off operating fluids, make sure that you pour the fluids into the cor‐
rect reservoirs. Serious malfunctions and engine damage can result if you pour operating flu‐
ids into the wrong reservoir.
