Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest
findings in safety engineering. To keep it that way, we
recommend the use of only genuine Volkswagen spare parts. These
can be recognised by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It
has been established that these parts are reliable, safe and
suitable. |
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess
other products on these points, even when in isolated cases they
have been passed by official inspectors or have been granted
official approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any
liability if these products are installed. |
Note
The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Volkswagen
genuine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on. |
Observe specified torques for wheel bolts. |
Observe assembly and operating instructions. |
The wheel and tyre combinations or changes listed in the
vehicle tables refer exclusively to Volkswagen Genuine wheels.
Approval of wheel and tyre combinations or a change to wheels
from the accessories trade is not possible with the certificate
statement attached here. |
Notes regarding the recommended
tyres |
Tyres are one of the most important elements in motor
vehicle construction and have a major influence on road safety.
Therefore, they must fulfil numerous conditions which are
specified for tyre manufacturers in the DIN (German industrial
standards) and the directives of the German rubber industry e.
V. (W.d.K.). In addition, comprehensive testing is carried out
at Volkswagen before tyres are approved for initial fitting on
our vehicles. |
The following lists all tyre makes and tread patterns that
are fitted to VW vehicles ex-factory, correct at the time of
publication. |
These tyre makes and tread patterns meet the aforementioned
demands. We therefore recommend the tyres/tread types listed in
this guide are chosen as replacements. |
Bear in mind the special aspects that need to be taken into
account in the case of tyres with emergency running properties
→ Wheels and Tyres Guide - General information; Rep. gr.44. |
The sizes of the winter tyres listed in the table are the
most sensible from the handling and economic aspects. Of course,
all other wheel-and-tyre combinations listed in the COC paper
(EEC Certificate of Conformity) and/or in part I of the
registration certificate may also be mounted as M&S tyres |
