Perform the steps in the order listed ⇒
1. With the engine at operating temperature, park the vehicle on a level surface to help prevent an
incorrect oil level reading.
2. Switch off the engine and wait a few minutes for the engine oil to flow back into the oil pan.
3. Open the engine hood ⇒
4. Find the oil filler opening and the dipstick. You can identify these by the
filler cap ⇒
f ig. 153 and the colored handle on the dipstick. If you are not sure where the cap and
the dipstick are located, see your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility for assistance.
5. Remove the dipstick from the guide tube and wipe the dipstick off using a clean cloth.
6. Reinsert the dipstick into the guide tube and push it all the way in. If there is an alignment tab on
the engine oil dipstick, make sure it lines up with the notch in the guide tube, and that the dipstick
goes all the way in.
