Volkswagen Golf Workshop Service & Auto Repair Manuals

Note:

• ◆ All parts shown here can be removed and installed with engine in situ.
• ◆ Always renew gaskets and oil seals.
• ◆ If large amounts of metal burr as well as abrasion are found while repairing the engine and this is caused by seizure (e.g. damaged crankshaft and conrod bearings), the oil cooler must be renewed in addition to cleaning the oil ducts thoroughly in order to avoid follow-up damage.
• ◆ The oil level must not be higher than the MAX. mark (danger of damaging the catalyst).
