Tread depth (including spare wheel):

Check

– Check tyre tread depth.
Minimum tread depth: 1.6 mm

Note

This figure may vary according to legislation in individual coun‐

tries.

The minimum tread depth is reached when the tyres have

worn down level with the 1.6 mm high tread wear indicators

-arrows- positioned at intervals around the tyre.

If the tread depth is approaching the minimum allowed depth,

inform the customer.

General notes

WARNING

♦ For safety reasons, only tyres of same type and tread pat‐

tern should be fitted on a vehicle! Approved wheel and tyre

combinations, e.g. ⇒  Running gear; Rep. Gr.  44 ; Golf

from model year 2004 up to model year 2009

♦ On four-wheel drive vehicles, tyres of the same type and

tread pattern must be used. Otherwise the centre differ‐

ential may be damaged.

Note

The tyre pressure table is valid for all factory fitted tyre sizes.

The pressures in the table apply to cold tyres. Do not reduce

increased pressures of warm tyres.

Tyre pressures for the relevant model can also be found on a

sticker attached to the inside of fuel tank flap.

Adjust the tyre pressure to suit the vehicle load.

The spare wheel should have the highest tyre pressure deter‐

mined for the vehicle.

Please note that basic setting should be performed on vehicles

with tyre pressure monitoring after every pressure change

4.9.1

Instructions for use and safety

Note

From model year 2006 a new brake fluid will be introduced.

The new brake fluid can also be used for older vehicles.

For this purpose it can be mixed with the previous brake fluid.

WARNING

♦ Brake fluid must under no circumstances come into con‐

tact with fluids containing mineral oils (oil, petrol, cleaning

solutions). Mineral oils will damage seals and sleeves of

brake system.

♦ Brake fluid is poisonous. In addition, due to its corrosive

nature, it must not come into contact with paint.

♦ Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it attracts moisture from the

surrounding air and therefore must always be stored in air-

tight containers.

♦ Wash away spilt brake fluid using plenty of water.
♦ Do not reuse extracted (used) brake fluid.
♦ Observe disposal regulations!

4.9.2

Brake fluid specification

Permissible specifications:
♦ Brake fluid conforming to US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4

(previous brake fluid)

♦ Brake fluid conforming to VW standard VW 501 14 (new brake

fluid).

4.9.3

Changing brake fluid

Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Brake filling and bleeding equipment -VAS 5234-
