DANGER!

Danger of injury! When removing upper part of sump, spring of

chain tensioner for oil pump drive jumps from upper part of

sump to lower timing chain cover. When removing upper part

of sump, do not grip between upper part of sump and lower

timing chain cover.

– Remove bolts -1 to 14- and lever off upper part of sump.

Caution

Lever off upper part of sump on gearbox side first. When lev‐

ering off, exercise caution to ensure the timing chain cover is

not bent in the process.

Installing
• Specified torque 

⇒ page 210

Note

Note expiry date of silicone sealant.

The sump (top section) must be installed within 5 minutes after

applying the silicone sealant.

– Remove sealant residue from cylinder block with a flat scraper.

WARNING

Risk of eye injury.

♦ Wear safety goggles.

     Rep. gr.17 - Lubrication

– Remove remaining sealant on sump (top section) and lower

timing chain cover e.g. using rotating plastic brush.

Note

Check timing chain cover for deformation. To do this, fit sump

upper part first without sealant and check gap between cover and

sump upper part. If deformation is evident and cover cannot be

aligned, renew cover after top section of sump has been installed.

– Clean sealing surfaces. They must be oil and grease free.
– Check oil passages in top section of sump and in crankcase

for soiling.

– Cut off nozzle on tube at front marking (∅ of nozzle approx. 3

mm).

Caution

Danger of lubrication system becoming clogged due to excess

sealant. Do not apply sealant bead thicker than specified.

– Apply silicone sealant onto clean sealing surface of upper part

of sump, as illustrated -arrow-.

– Apply some additional silicone sealant between cylinder block

and timing chain cover -arrows-.

• Thickness of sealant bead: 2 to 3 mm

Note

After applying the silicone sealant, the top part of the sump

must be fitted within 5 minutes.

The bead of sealant must not be thicker than specified, other‐

wise excess sealant can enter the sump and obstruct the

strainer in the oil intake pipe.

• Sump upper part and crankcase must be flush on gearbox

side.

Engine oil:

Oil capacities:
With oil filter, 4.7 l
Without oil filter 4.2 l
The oil capacity was determined experimentally. Due to toleran‐

ces, the oil temperature and the drip time, the actual oil capacity

may differ. The oil capacity also depends on the type of repair

work which has been performed. The correct oil level is indicated

by the marking on the dipstick.
Engine oil specifications ⇒ Maintenance ; Booklet  ; Service ta‐

bles .
Change engine oil ⇒ Maintenance ; Booklet  ; Engine oil: Drain or

extract; renew oil filter and replenish engine oil .
Check oil level:

Note

The oil level must not be above the max. mark - danger of damage

to catalytic converter!

Test conditions
• Engine oil temperature min. 60°C.
• Vehicle is level.
• Wait a few minutes after switching engine off to allow oil to flow

back into sump.

Test sequence
– Pull out dipstick, wipe off with a clean cloth and insert it again

to stop.

– Pull out dipstick again and read oil level.
Markings on dipstick:
a - Do not top up oil.
b - Oil may be replenished.
c - Oil must be added.

Caution

Use only distilled water for mixing coolant additives. The use

of distilled water ensures optimum protection against corro‐

sion.

243

Note

The water used for mixing has a major influence on the effec‐

tiveness of the coolant. Because the water quality differs from

country to country and even from region to region, the quality

of the water to be used in the cooling system has been speci‐

fied by Volkswagen. Distilled water fulfils all requirements.

Therefore, only ever use distilled water when mixing coolant

for topping up or renewing coolant.

Use only coolant additives which conform with the ⇒  Elec‐

tronic parts catalogue (ETKA) . Other coolant additives may

reduce corrosion protection substantially. The resulting dam‐

age could lead to loss of coolant and subsequent severe

damage to the engine.

Mixed in the proper proportions, coolant inhibits frost and cor‐

rosion damage as well as scaling. Such additives also raise

the boiling point of the coolant. For this reason, the cooling

system must be filled all-year-round with coolant additives.

Because of its high boiling point, the coolant improves engine

reliability under heavy loads, particularly in countries with trop‐

ical climates.

Use ONLY refractometer - T10007A- for determining current

anti-freeze value.

Frost protection must be guaranteed down to -25°C as a min‐

imum and, in countries with arctic conditions, down to approx.

-36°C. Increasing the frost protection is permissible only if cli‐

matic conditions require stronger frost protection. It may, how‐

ever, be increased only to a maximum of -48°C. Otherwise,

the cooling effect will be impaired.

Do not reduce the coolant concentration by adding water even

in warmer seasons and in warmer countries. Frost protection

must be guaranteed down to at least -25°C.

Read off anti-freeze figures for respective replenished coolant

additives.

The temperature read off the refractometer - T10007A- corre‐

sponds the »ice flocculation point«. Flakes of ice may start

forming in the coolant below this temperature.

Never reuse old coolant.

Use only a water/coolant additive mixture as a slip agent for

coolant hoses.

– Connect bottom coolant hose -1- to radiator.
– Install air pipe.

– Connect the coolant hose to the continued circulation coolant

pump - V51- -arrow-.

Vehicles with auxiliary heater:
– Connect coolant hoses -arrows-.
– Install noise insulation ⇒  General body repairs, exterior; Rep.

gr.  50 ; Noise insulation .

All:
With cooling system charge unit - VAS 6096- :
– Screw adapter for cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274/8- onto

expansion tank.

– Fill coolant circuit using cooling system charge unit -

VAS 6096- ⇒  Operating instructions for cooling system charge

unit VAS 6096.

Without cooling system charge unit - VAS 6096- :

– Slowly fill coolant to upper marking of shaded field on expan‐

sion tank.

– Fit expansion tank cap.
– Start engine and maintain an engine speed of about 2,000 rpm

for about 3 minutes.

– Run engine until radiator fan - V7- cuts-in.

WARNING

The cooling system is under pressure when the engine is hot!
Danger of scalding by steam and hot coolant.
Cover filler cap on expansion tank with a cloth and open care‐

fully to release pressure.

– Check coolant level and top up as needed. Once operating

temperature has been reached, the coolant level must be at

the upper mark; it should be in the middle of the shaded field

when the engine is cold.

Checking cooling system for leaks

Special tools and workshop

equipment required

♦ Adapter for cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274/8-
♦ Adapter for cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274/9-
♦ Cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274 B-

     Rep. gr.19 - Cooling

Note

To perform the leakage test correctly, first run a self-test on the

cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274 B- .

Self-test of cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274 B-
– Operate cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274 B- several times.

– Build up a pressure of 3.0 bar on cooling system tester .
– Observe pressure on pressure gauge of cooling system tester

for 30 seconds.

If no pressure builds up or if the pressure drops again:
The cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274 B- is leaking and should

not be used.

Checking cooling system for leaks
Prerequisites for check
• Engine at operating temperature.
Test sequence

WARNING

The cooling system is under pressure when the engine is hot!
Danger of scalding by steam and hot coolant.
Cover filler cap on expansion tank with a cloth and open care‐

fully to release pressure.

– Open filler cap -arrow- for coolant expansion tank.

247

– Fit cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274 B- with adapter -

V.A.G 1274/8- to coolant expansion tank.

– Build up pressure of approx. 1.5 bar using hand pump of cool‐

ing system tester.

• The pressure must not drop by more than 0.2 bar within 10 mi‐

nutes.

– If the pressure drops by more than 0.2 bar, locate and rectify

leaks.

Note

The pressure drop of 0.2 bar within 10 minutes depends on the

how far the coolant can cool down. The colder the engine, the

lower the pressure drop. If necessary, repeat the check while the

engine is cold.

DANGER!

Risk of scalding! Before disconnecting cooling system tester -

V.A.G  1274  B-  from  connecting  hose  or  connector  -  V.A.G

1274 B/1- , always relieve existing pressure. To do this, press

pressure relief valve on cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274 B-

until pressure gauge displays value of »0«.

Checking pressure relief valve in filler cap:
– Fit cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274 B- with adapter -

V.A.G 1274/9- onto coolant filler cap.

– Build up pressure using hand pump of cooling system tester.
• The pressure relief valve must open at a pressure of 1.4 to

1.6 bar.
