Coolant specifications
The engine cooling system is supplied from
the factory with a specially treated mixture of

40

The essentials

water and at least 40 % of the additive 

G13

(TL-VW 774 J), purple. This mixture gives the
necessary frost protection down to -25°C
(-13°F) and protects the light alloy parts of
the engine cooling system against corrosion.
It also prevents scaling and considerably rai-
ses the boiling point of the coolant.

To protect the cooling system, the percentage
of additive must always be at least 40 %,
even in warm climates where anti-freeze pro-
tection is not required.

If for weather reasons further protection is
necessary, the proportion of additive may be
increased, but only up to 60 %; otherwise an-
tifreeze protection will diminish and this will
worsen cooling.

When the coolant is topped up, use a mixture
of 

distilled water and at least 40 % of the

G13 or G12 plus-plus (TL-VW 774 G) additive
(both are purple) to obtain optimal anti-corro-
sion protection. The mixture of G13 with G12
plus (TL-VW 774 F), G12 (red) or G11 (green-
blue) engine coolants will significantly re-
duce anti-corrosion protection and should
therefore be avoided.

clear off the ground.

Removing and fitting a wheel

Change the wheel after loosening the wheel
bolts and raising the vehicle with the jack.

Taking off the wheel

●

Unscrew the wheel bolts using the box

spanner and place them on a clean surface.

●

Take off the wheel.

Putting on the spare wheel
When fitting tyres with a compulsory rotation
direction, observe the instructions in

››› 

page 49

.

●

Mount the wheel.

●

Screw on the wheel bolts in position and

tighten them loosely with a box spanner.

●

Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack*.

●

Tighten the wheel bolts in diagonal pairs

using the wheel brace.

The wheel bolts should be clean and turn
easily. Before fitting the spare wheel, inspect
the wheel condition and hub mounting surfa-
ces. These surfaces must be clean before fit-
ting the wheel.

Tyres with compulsory direction of ro-
tation

A directional tread pattern can be identified
by the arrows on the sidewall that point in
the direction of rotation. Always observe the
direction of rotation indicated when fitting
the wheel to guarantee optimum properties
of this type of tyres with regard to grip,
noises, wear and aquaplaning.

If it is absolutely necessary to fit the spare
tyre* against the direction of rotation, drive
with care as this means the tyre does not of-
fer optimum driving properties. This is of par-
ticular importance when the road surface is
wet.

Replace the punctured tyre as soon as possi-
ble and restore the obligatory and correct di-
rection of rotation of all tyres.

Subsequent work

●

Alloy wheels: replace the wheel bolt caps.

●

Plate wheels: replace the wheel hubcap

››› 

page 46

.

●

Return all tools to their proper storing loca-

tion.

●

If the replaced wheel does not fit in the

spare wheel housing, store it safely in the
luggage compartment 

››› 



page 137

.

●

Check the tyre pressure of the newly moun-

ted tyre as soon as possible.

●

In vehicles fitted with a tyre pressure indi-

cator, adjust the pressure and store it in
memory 

››› 



page 219

.

●

Have the tightening torque of the wheel

bolts checked as soon as possible with a tor-
que wrench (it should be 120 Nm). Mean-
while, drive carefully.

●

Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as

possible.

Snow chains

Use

Snow chains should only be used on the
front wheels.

»

49

The essentials

In winter road conditions, snow chains not
only help to improve grip but also improve
the braking capacity.

For technical reasons snow chains may only
be used on tyres with the following wheel
rim/tyre combinations.

Rim size

Remove the wheel trims before fitting snow
chains.

CAUTION

Chains must be removed when roads are free
of snow. Otherwise they will impair handling,
damage the tyres and wear out very quickly.

Tow rope or tow bar
The tow bar offers increased safety and a
lower risk of damage.

The tow rope is recommended when there is
no tow bar. It must be elastic so that it does
not damage the vehicle.

The essentials

Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle

●

The tow rope must be taut before you drive

off.

●

Release the clutch very carefully when start-

ing the vehicle (manual gearbox), or acceler-
ate gently (automatic gearbox).

Driving style
Towing requires some experience, especially
when using a tow rope. Both drivers should
realise how difficult it is to tow a vehicle. In-
experienced drivers should not attempt to
tow.

Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle
and take care to avoid jerking the tow rope.
When towing on an unpaved road, there is al-
ways a risk of overloading and damaging the
anchorage points.

The towline anchorages are located under
the floor panel in the luggage compartment.

Switch on the ignition so that the turn sig-
nals, windscreen wipers and windscreen
washer can work. Ensure that the steering
wheel is unlocked and moves freely.

Place the gear lever in neutral on vehicles
with a manual gearbox. With an automatic
gearbox, place the lever in 

N.

To brake, press the brake pedal firmly. The
brake servo does not work when the engine
is switched off.

The power steering only works when the igni-
tion is switched on and the vehicle is moving,
provided that the battery is sufficiently charg-
ed. Otherwise, it will need more force.

Ensure that the tow rope remains taut at all
times.

Tow-starting

If the engine will not start, first try starting it
using the battery of another vehicle

››› 

page 51

. You should only attempt to tow-

start a vehicle if charging the battery does
not work. This is done by leveraging wheel
movement.

When tow-starting a vehicle with a 

petrol en-

gine, do not tow it more than a short dis-
tance, otherwise unburned fuel can enter the
catalytic converter.

●

Engage 2nd or 3rd gear before moving off.

●

Press the clutch and hold the pedal down.

●

Switch the ignition on.

●

Once both vehicles are moving, release the

clutch.

●

As soon as the engine has started, press

the clutch and move the gear lever to neutral.

How to jump start

Jump leads

The jump lead must have a sufficient wire
cross section.

If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
charged battery, the battery can be connec-
ted to the battery of another vehicle to start
the engine.

Both batteries need to have nominal voltage
of 12 V. The 

capacity (Ah) of the back-up bat-

tery should not be notably less than the
drained battery.

Jump leads must comply with standard 

DIN

72553 (see cable manufacturer's instruc-
tions). The wire cross section must be at least
25 mm

2

 for petrol engines and at least

35 mm

2

 for diesel engines.

Jump leads
Positive cable – usually red

Negative cable – usually black

WARNING

●

A flat battery can also freeze at tempera-

tures slightly below to 0°C (32°F). Do not at-
tempt to start the vehicle with a frozen bat-
tery. Risk of explosion!

The essentials

●

Please note the safety warnings referring to

working in the engine compartment

›››

page 202

.

●

The non-insulated parts of the battery

clamps must not be allowed to touch. Addi-
tionally, the jump lead attached to the posi-
tive battery terminal must not touch metal
parts of the vehicle. Risk of short circuit!

●

Do not connect the negative lead to the

negative terminal of the discharged battery.
In the event of sparks when starting the en-
gine, the explosive gas given off by the bat-
tery could catch fire.

●

Position the jump leads in such a way that

they cannot come into contact with any mov-
ing parts in the engine compartment.

●

Do not bend over the battery. Risk of acid

burns!

●

The screw plugs on the battery cells must

be screwed in firmly.

●

Keep sources of fire (flames, lit cigarettes,

etc.) away from the battery. - Risk of explo-
sion!

●

Never use the jump leads on batteries in

which the electrolyte level is too low. Risk of
explosion and acid burns.

Note

●

The vehicles must not touch each other, as

electricity could flow as soon as the positive
terminals are connected.

●

The discharged battery must be properly

connected to the vehicle electrical system.

●

The jump leads should be checked in a spe-

cialist vehicle battery shop.
