Warning lamps
The warning lamps which come on when ignition is switched on, should go out when the engine
is started.
If the generator warning lamp comes on when driving, the generator has stopped charging.
• Stop, switch off ignition and check the "V" belt.
1.6 liter engine
If the "V" belt is broken or too loose the engine will not be sufficiently cooled.
Caution! Only drive on again after the "V" belt has been replaced or retensioned.
1.7 liter engine
The engine cooling is independent of the "V" belt. Even with a broken "V" belt one can almost
always reach the next VW workshop. But it must be realized that when driving in this con-
dition, the battery is being continually run down.
If the oil pressure warning lamp comes on when driving:
• Stop at once. Switch off the ignition and check the oil level (see page 21) and if necessary
top up.
• If the fault is for any other cause, call in expert help immediately.
If the warning lamp for the dual braking circuit does not come on when the ignition is switched
"on", or it does not go out after the engine is started, there is a fault in the electric system.
Visit a VW workshop.
The function of the warning lamp:
• Ignition switched "on" — lamp lights up
• Start engine
- lamp goes out.
The warning lamp indicates that a brake circuit has failed, by lighting up when the brakes are
applied.
