GENERAL INFORMATION
Note. Use only new Original VW / Audi brake fluid
Change brake fluid with brake charger/bleeder unit VAS 5234
| WARNING | Brake fluid must never come into contact with fluids containing mineral oils (oil, gas, cleaning solutions). Oils containing minerals damage plugs and sleeves on brake systems. Brake fluid is poisonous and must not be extracted by mouth using a hose under any circumstances. In addition, it must not come into contact with paint due to is corrosive effects. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, and must therefore always be stored in air-tight containers. Observe waste disposal regulations! |
Note. If the air filter insert is heavily soiled or soaked, dirt particles or moisture can reach the mass airflow sensor -G70- and cause an incorrect airflow reading. There will be a loss in power because a smaller injection quantity will be calculated. Always use an original air filter insert. Use a lubricant (silicone-free) when installing intake hose. Secure all hose connections with hose clamps that match current standard production. Check drain hose in bottom side of air filter or dirt and adhesion (clean, if necessary). Clean air filter housing (upper and lower parts) of salt residue, dirt or leaves (clean with vacuum, if necessary). Check mass airflow sensor and intake hose (clean air side) for salt residue, dirt and leaves. Check the air intake shroud up to the air filter for dirt. When installing air filter insert, ensure it is centered in mount on bottom of air filter. Carefully and gently place upper part of air filter on lower part. When doing so, ensure upper part of air filter is not crooked on air filter insert. Pay attention to the seal lip on the air filter insert (air leak). Finally, screw upper part of air filter onto lower part.
Note. Please follow specified engine oil capacity and oil standards in the maintenance table.
Engines with turbocharger
After changing the engine oil and oil filter, start the engine and note the following
- As long as the oil pressure indicator lamp in the instrument cluster is on, the engine may only run in idle. Do not touch the accelerator pedal! Bumping the accelerator pedal can damage the turbocharger or destroy it completely
- When full oil pressure is reached, the indicator lamp will go out. Then it is permissible to accelerate.

Check the oil level.
