Volkswagen Golf Owners Manual: Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
→ Warning lamp and coolant temperature display
→ Coolant specification→ Checking the coolant level and refilling coolant
Never carry out any work on the engine coolant system if you are not familiar with the requisite procedures, or if you do not have access to the correct tools, operating equipment and fluids . The work should be carried out by a qualified workshop if you are uncertain. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Serious injuries can be caused if work is carried out incorrectly.
Additional information and warnings:
- Towing a trailer
- Preparation for working in the engine compartment
- Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts
WARNING
- Engine coolant should only be kept in sealed original containers in a safe place.
- Never store engine coolant in empty food containers, bottles or any other non-original containers as people finding these containers may then drink the engine coolant.
- The engine coolant must be stored out of the reach of children.
- Please note that the amount of correct coolant additive used must be sufficient for the lowest ambient temperature that you expect the vehicle to be exposed to.
- Coolant can freeze at extremely cold outside temperatures, causing the vehicle to break down. Vehicle occupants with inadequate winter clothing could then freeze to death as the heating will also no longer function.
Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment. Spilt operating fluids must be collected and disposed of properly and with respect for the environment.
