Get Maintenance -> Service fluids and equipment Guide for Volkswagen Transporter Van Seventh Generation (2021-2025)

Service fluids and equipment

All service fluids and consumables, e.g. coolant or vehicle batteries, are being constantly developed. This also applies

to engine oils in the case of combustion engines. For this reason, service fluids and consumables should be replaced

by a correspondingly qualified workshop.

WARNING

Unsuitable service fluids and consumables, and the incorrect use of these fluids and consumables, can cause

accidents, serious injuries, burns or poisoning.

● Store service fluids only in the closed original container.

● Never store service fluids in empty food containers, bottles or any other non-original containers as people finding

these containers could drink them.

● Keep children away from all service fluids and consumables.

● Always observe and follow the information and warnings on the service fluid packaging.

● When using products that give off harmful fumes, always work outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

● Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, nail varnish remover or other volatile fluids for vehicle care. They are toxic

and highly flammable. They could cause fires and explosions.

NOTICE

● Only use suitable service fluids for refilling. Never use the wrong service fluid. Failure to observe this warning can

result in serious malfunctions and engine damage.

Leaking service fluids can pollute the environment. Spilt service fluids must be collected in suitable

containers and disposed of properly and with respect for the environment.

Windscreen washer fluid

Fig. 1 In the engine compartment: washer fluid reservoir

cap.

The windscreen washer fluid level should be checked regularly and topped up as necessary.

A filter can be found in the feed throat of the washer fluid reservoir. The strainer keeps larger dirt particles away from

the washer jets when refilling. The filter should only be removed for cleaning. If the filter is damaged or cannot be

found when refilling, dirt particles will reach the system and will block the washer jets.

—Open the bonnet (→ In the engine compartment).

—The washer fluid reservoir is identified by the symbol on the cap→ Fig. 1.

—Check whether there is enough windscreen washer fluid in the reservoir.

—To top up, mix clean water, but not distilled water, with a washer fluid recommended by Volkswagen Commercial

Vehicles → . Observe the dilution instructions on the packaging.

—At low outside temperatures, add a special anti-freeze agent so that the fluid cannot freeze→

WARNING

Never mix coolant additive or other unsuitable additives into the washer fluid. These may leave an oily film on the

screen, restricting the field of vision.

● Use clean, clear water(not distilled water) with a suitable washer fluid.

● Add a suitable antifreeze agent to the washer fluid if necessary.

NOTICE

Improper mixing of cleaning agents may result in flocculation of the components, and thus clogging of the washer

jets.

● Never mix suitable cleaning agents with other cleaning agents.
