4 - Glow plug system and
engine fault
Glow plug system
When the engine is cold, the warning lamp
lights up when the driving position is acti-
vated (ignition on).
Should the warning lamp fail to light up, a
fault is present in the glow plug system -
please obtain professional help.
Start the engine immediately after the lamp
goes out – see page 5.
The engine can also be started immediately
without preheating, however then a
slightly poorer starting behaviour must be
expected.
When the engine is at operating tem-
perature, the preheating warning lamp
does not light up - the engine can be star-
ted immediately.
engine fault
If a fault occurs in the engine control system
during drivin g, this is indicated by the warn-
ing lamp flashing - the engine should be
checked immediately by a VW-Marine
Service Partner.
OPERATION
5 - Engine oil pressure
This warning lamp lights up when the igni-
tion is switched on and must go out after the
engine starts.
If the engine oil-pressure warning
lamp lights up or flickers during
operation:
1 - Switch off the engine immediately, as
the engine lubrication may be inter-
rupted.
2 - Then check the engine oil level (see
page 33).
If the oil level is OK, please contact the
nearest VW Marine Service Partner.
As an additional warning, an acoustic signal
sounds at the same time, which can be
switched off with the switch A.
Should the fault not be eliminated, the
acoustic signal sounds again after a short
time.
On the other hand, occasional flickering of
the warning lamp at idle with the engine is
warm is meaningless if the lamp goes out
again when the engine speed is increased.
The oil-pressure warning lamp is not
an oil level indicator! Therefore, the
oil level should be checked at reg-
ular intervals, preferably before
each trip.
