Safety first! 0•5 W orking on your car can be dangerous. This page shows just some of the potential risks and hazards, with the aim of cr eating a safety-conscious attitude. General hazar ds Scalding • Don’t r emove the radiator or expansion tank cap while the engine is hot.
0•6 Roadside r epairs The following pages are intended to help in dealing with common roadside emergencies and breakdowns. You will find more detailed fault finding information at the back of the manual, and repair information in the main chapters.
Roadside r epairs 0•7 When jump-starting a car using a booster battery , observe the following precautions: 4 Before connecting the booster battery , make sure that the ignition is switched of f. 4 Ensure that all electrical equipment (lights, heater , wipers, etc) is switched of f.
0•8 Roadside r epairs The spare wheels and tools are stored in the luggage compartment. Release the retaining strap and lift out the jack and tools from the centre of the wheel. Finally ... M Remove the wheel chocks. M Stow the jack and tools in the correct locations in the car.
Roadside r epairs 0•9 When all else fails, you may find yourself having to get a tow home – or of course you may be helping somebody else. Long-distance recovery should only be done by a garage or breakdown service.
0•10 W eekly checks There are some very simple checks which need only take a few minutes to carry out, but which could save you a lot of inconvenience and expense.
W eekly checks 0•11 Engine oil level Before you start 4 Make sure that your car is on level ground. 4 Check the oil level before the car is driven, or at least 5 minutes after the engine has been switched off. The correct oil Modern engines place great demands on their oil.
0•12 W eekly checks Brake fluid level Warning: l Brake fluid can harm your eyes and damage painted surfaces, so use extreme caution when handling and pouring it. l Do not use fluid that has been standing open for some time, as it absorbs moisture from the air, which can cause a dangerous loss of braking effectiveness.
W eekly checks 0•13 Screenwash additives not only keep the winscreen clean during foul weather, they also prevent the washer system freezing in cold weather - which is when you are likely to need it most. Don’t top up using plain water as the screenwash will become too diluted, and will freeze during cold weather.
0•14 W eekly checks T yr e condition and pr essur e It is very important that tyres are in good condition, and at the correct pressure - having a tyre failure at any speed is highly dangerous. Tyre wear is influenced by driving style - harsh braking and acceleration, or fast cornering, will all produce more rapid tyre wear.
W eekly checks 0•15 Battery Caution: Before carrying out any work on the vehicle battery, read the precautions given in "Safety first" at the start of this manual. 4 Make sure that the battery tray is in good condition, and that the clamp is tight.

1 Introduction This Chapter is designed to help the home mechanic maintain his/her vehicle for safety, economy, long life and peak performance. The Chapter contains a master maintenance schedule, followed by Sections dealing specifically with each task in the schedule.
6 Fluid leakage and engine electrical system check 1 1 Open the bonnet and inspect the engine joint faces, gaskets and seals for any signs of coolant or oil leaks. Pay particular attention to the areas around the rocker cover, cylinder head, oil filter and sump joint faces.
11 Contact breaker point check 2 1 Disconnect the LT lead from the terminal block on the screening ring, then the earth strap spade connector on the distributor body (see illustration) . 2 Release the two retaining clips and withdraw the distributor cap, complete with screen ring, from the distributor (see illustration) .
9 The engine will turn over more easily if the spark plugs are removed. Do not rotate the engine by turning the camshaft sprocket as this will stretch the timing belt. Use the alternator drivebelt (V-belt) or jack up one front wheel and with the engine in gear rotate the roadwheel.
14 Antifreeze concentration check 2 Warning: Wait until the engine is cold before checking antifreeze. Do not allow antifreeze to come in contact with your skin or painted surfaces of the vehicle.
13 Wipe clean the distributor cap and make sure that the carbon brush moves freely against the tension of the spring. Clean the metal segments in the distributor cap but do not scrape away any metal, otherwise the HT spark at the spark plugs will be reduced.
15 Connect a tachometer in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 16 Start the engine and run it at idling speed. 17 Point the timing light at the timing mark and pointer which should appear to be stationary and aligned. If adjustment is necessary (ie.
the oil filter, as described below, while the oil is draining. 4 After all the oil has drained, wipe off the drain plug with a clean rag and on 1.6 and 1.8 litre models, renew the O-ring. Clean the area around the drain plug opening and refit the plug.
4 Wipe clean the area around the filler/level plug, then unscrew the plug and clean it. Discard the sealing washer (see illustration) . 5 The oil level should reach the lower edge of the filler/level hole.
25 Fuel and brake line, hose and union check 1 Warning: Do not drive the vehicle until necessary repair work has been carried out on damaged fuel and brake lines. 1 It is essential for this check to raise the vehicle sufficiently enough to allow a complete uninterrupted view of its underside.
gripping the track rod. If the wheel is now rocked, movement will be felt at the inner joint if wear has taken place. 4 With the vehicle standing on its wheels, have an assistant turn the steering wheel back and forth about an eighth of a turn each way.
8 Withdraw the element from the housing. 9 Wipe clean the inside of the cover. 10 Fit the new element and secure the cover by pressing the clips home. 33 Fuel filter renewal 2 Carburettor models 1 To remove the in-line filter, remove its pipe retaining clips, disconnect the pipes and extract the filter (see illustration) .

Air conditioning system The air conditioning unit works on exactly the same principle as a domestic refrigerator, having a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator. The condenser is attached to the vehicle radiator system. The compressor, belt- driven from the crankshaft pulley, is installed on a bracket on the engine.
Air conditioning refrigerant Although the refrigerant is not itself toxic, in the presence of a naked flame (or a lighted cigarette) it forms a highly toxic gas. Liquid refrigerant spilled on the skin will cause frostbite. If refrigerant enters the eyes, rinse them with a dilute solution of boric acid and seek medical advice immediately.
hose and allow the water to circulate through the radiator until it runs clear from the bottom outlet. If, after a reasonable period the water still does not run clear, the radiator can be flushed with a good proprietary cleaning agent. 7 Disconnect the heater hose from the cylinder head outlet and insert a garden hose in the heater hose.
10 Clean the radiator matrix of flies and small leaves with a soft brush or by hosing. At the same time check for signs of damage and coolant leakage. 11 It is not possible to repair this type of radiator without special equipment . 12 Renew any hoses or clips that are damaged.
Refitting 8 Refitting is a reversal of removal. Fit a new sealing ring and tighten the cover bolts to the specified torque. The breather hole in the thermostat should face upwards. 9 On completion, refill the cooling system. 1.6 and 1.8 litre engines Removal 10 The thermostat is located in the bottom of the coolant pump behind the inlet elbow.

necessary to remove the lower parcel tray on the passenger side and also the insulation sheet (see illustrations) . 7 It is best to renew the heater cables completely if the inner cable snaps. In this way the exact length required is obtained. It is a good idea to fit new cable clamps also, as the old ones seem to distort when removed.
6 Undo the retaining nuts and withdraw the outlet distributor from the air box, disconnecting the distributor from the left and right- hand air ducts as it is withdrawn. Remove the gasket (see illustration) . 7 Disconnect the control cables at the air box end.
11 Air conditioning system compressor - removal and refitting 2 Warning: The air conditioning system must be depressurised and drained by a VW dealer or refrigeration specialist. Do not attempt this yourself. 1 Removal and refitting of the air conditioner compressor is straight-forward.

Fuel supply The fuel pump operates continuously while the engine is running, excess fuel being returned to the fuel tank. The pump is operated when the ignition switch is in the START position. Once the starter is released, a switch which is connected to the air plate, prevents the pump from operating unless the engine is running.
f) DO NOT use fuel or engine oil additives as these may contain substances harmful to the catalytic converter. g) DO NOT continue to use the vehicle if the engine burns oil to the extent of leaving a visible trail of blue smoke. The unburned carbon deposits will clog the converter passages and reduce its efficiency.
4 Switch off all electrical consumers, then pinch the air hose again and adjust idle speed to that specified. When the correct idle speed is reached, unclamp the hose. The idle speed should then increase up to about 1050 rpm at which point the valve will close and the speed drop to the specified idle speed setting.
9 Cold start valve and thermotime switch - testing 2 Cold start valve 1 The thermotime switch energises the cold start valve for a short time on starting. The time for which the valve is switched on depends upon the engine temperature. 2 This check must only be carried out when the coolant temperature is below 30°C.
