7. ---Change history---

Technical information should always be available to the foremen and mechanics, because their careful and constant adherence to the instructions is essential to ensure vehicle road-worthiness and safety. In addition, the normal basic safety precautions for working on motor vehicles must, as a matter of course, be observed. ht rig py Co t.

In the past, the PR numbers QG0, QG1 and QG2 determined the type of service.

With immediate effect, these PR numbers only denote whether an engine oil level sensor is installed or not and no longer have an influence on the oil change interval.

Flexible service

agen lksw Vo by

2.1.2

The flexible service enables long service intervals, depending on individual driving style and the conditions under which the vehicle is used.

Note

For the flexible service a special LongLife engine oil is required ⇒ page 7 .

Vehicles with production control number “QI6” are set up for flexible service at the factory. This means that these vehicles have a flexible service interval display and are fitted with the following components: ♦ Flexible service interval display in dash panel insert ♦ Engine oil level sensor ♦ Brake pad wear indicator (if fitted) For vehicles with flexible service the service interval is deter‐ mined by the control unit and is indicated on service interval display (SID) ⇒ page 5 .

Therefore the service intervals are flexible.

2.1.3

Fixed service

For vehicles with a fixed service, fixed services are calculated.

This means that the mileage or time values are already set by Volkswagen. For normal operating conditions achieving these service intervals is technically assured.

Therefore the service intervals are fixed.

For vehicles ♦ which have not been delivered with extended servicing inter‐ vals (ESI) (PR numbers “QI1”, “QI2”, “QI3”, “QI4”, “QI7”), ♦ that have had extended servicing interval (ESI) stopped ♦ in which no LongLife engine oil was usedAG. Volkswagen A

fixed service applies.

Introduction of extended servicing intervals (ESI) Ask your importer if the extended servicing interval (ESI) is available for your country.

Flexible service interval display (only vehicles with a flexible service) Calculation of service intervals: ♦ The service intervals on vehicles with a flexible service is calculated. Input values such as, distance travelled, fuel con‐ sumption, oil temperature and loading on diesel particulate filter are evaluated by the control unit. ♦ The result of the evaluation is a value for the deterioration of the oil due to thermal loading. ♦ The oil deterioration is the deciding factor concerning the distance that can still be driven to the next service.

Polo 2014 ➤ Maintenance - Edition 03.2021 Note

For vehicles with a flexible service but which are serviced ac‐ cording to fixed service intervals, the service interval display must be recoded to “non-flexible” ⇒ page 138 .

Fixed service interval display (only vehicles with a fixed service) Calculation of service intervals: ♦ The service interval for vehicles with a fixed service is calcu‐ lated in fixed service intervals. This means that the mileage or time values have been previously determined and speci‐ fied by Volkswagen. ♦ For normal operating conditions achieving these service in‐ tervals is technically assured.

Service type for service due

Service initial warning

un le

If a service is due, “Service initial warning” appears on dash panel insert display when ignition is switched on. ♦ On vehicles with text messages on dash panel insert display the following appears: “Service in --- km or --- days”.

The service information disappears after a few seconds or if engine is running. ♦ The service initial warning is displayed 20 days before the next service is due. ♦ The remaining distance displayed is always rounded to the nearest 100 km or the remaining time rounded to full days.

Cooling system: checking frost protec‐ tion and coolant level Note

♦ The water used for mixing has a major influence on the

effectiveness of the coolant. Because the water quality dif‐ fers from country to country and even from region to region, the quality of the water to be used in the cooling system has been specified by Volkswagen. Distilled water fulfils all requirements. Therefore, only ever use distilled water when mixing coolant for topping up or renewing coolant.

♦ Use only coolant additives which conform with the ⇒ Elec‐

tronic parts catalogue (ETKA). Other coolant additives may reduce corrosion protection substantially. The resulting dam‐ age could lead to loss of coolant and subsequent severe damage to the motor.

♦ Mixed in the proper proportions, coolant inhibits frost and

corrosion damage as well as scaling. Furthermore, the boil‐ ing point is raised. For these reasons, the cooling system must be filled all year round with a coolant additive.

♦ Because of its high boiling point, the coolant improves en‐

gine reliability under heavy loads, particularly in countries with tropical climates.

♦ The refractometer -T10007A- or refractometer -T10007B-

in t his d o cu m en

♦ If it is not possible to ensure that the same type of coolant

Polo 2014 ➤ Maintenance - Edition 03.2021 ♦ Do not reduce the coolant concentration by adding water

even in the warm season or in hot countries. Frost protection must be guaranteed down to at least -25°C.

♦ The temperature reading on the refractometer corresponds

to the »ice flocculation point«. Flakes of ice may start form‐ ing in the coolant at this temperature.

♦ Never reuse old coolant. ♦ Use only a water/coolant additive mixture as a slip agent for

coolant hoses.

♦ Volkswagen recommends not using the new specifications for older engine generations. The recommended specifica‐ tions are allocated to the engines in this chapter. ♦ Engines with particulate filter (petrol and diesel) can also be filled with oil standard VW 504 00/507 00 when serviced.

However, the caveat could be elevated fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. ♦ Engines without particulate filter can also be filled with oil standard VW 502 00/505 01 when serviced. However, the caveat could be elevated fuel consumption and CO2 emis‐ sions. ♦ If oil with VW engine oil standard 508 00/509 00 is used in engines that are not recommended for this, engine damage could ensue. c o p yri gh t.

♦ As of model year 2018, engines that are not recommended to be used with the new oil will have a notice (lock carrier/en‐ gine compartment) from which the oil standard to be used can be gleaned.

figure has been specified by the manufacturer, the statutory opacity figures (2.5 m -1 or 1.5 m -1, depending on date of initial registration) must be used.

The nominal speed can only be entered manually.

If the opacity figure of Euro 5 vehicles on the EET data sheet is different from the value indicated on the type plate, enter the type plate value manually.

Inspection – Inspect all exhaust emissions relevant components.

– Check if exhaust system is complete and check for leaks and damage.

Procedure – Follow instructions from exhaust gas testing station.

Evaluation Note

If the exhaust emissions test was performed at idle speed lim‐ itation, the log note “governed speed <90 % of the nominal speed (idle speed limitation)” is entered in the log.

Anti-locking brake system. The ABS is a regulating system in the brake system, that prevents locking when braking. This helps to maintain directional stability and steerabil‐ ity.

Term to be used in place of “Haldex” with immediate effect. Legal implications make this step necessary. The term may nevertheless appear in older documents but need not be replaced.

This fluid is also referred to as “NOx reducing agent AUS 32”, “AUS 32” or “Diesel Exhaust Fluid” (in the US).

AdBlue® is a colourless reducing agent that is used for exhaust post-treatment in order to reduce nitrous oxides and particulates.

AdBlue® is a registered trademark of the VDA (Verband der Automobilindustrie German association of the automotive industry) in the USA, Germany, the European Union and other countries.

The AdBlue urea solution is not mixed with diesel fuel, but is carried in a separate tank in the vehicle.
