WARNING LAMPS
.......
The layout of the warning lamps depends
on the model and the engine fitted. The
symbols shown here are also on the
actual warning lamps.
- Engine oil pressure
This warning lamp flashes when the igni-
tion is switched on. After the engine has
started, the lamp must go out again.
If the warning lamp does not go out, or
flashes when driving - at an engine
speed of approx. 2000 rpm a buzzer then
sounds - stop at once and switch en-
gine off. Check the oil level and if ne-
cessary, add oil - see page 74.
If the lamp comes on despite the oil level
being correct, do not drive on. In such a
case, the engine must not be run, even
at idling speed - call in expert assistance.
Note:
The oil pressure warning lamp is not an
oil level indicator.
- Generator
Petrol engines
This lamp comes on when the ignition is
switched on and should go out when the
engine is started.
If the lamp comes on when driving, stop
at once, switch engine off and check
vee belt.
If the belt is broken do not drive further
because the coolant pump is then no
longer being driven. Fit a new belt. (For
belt sizes see "Technical data".)
If the warning lamp comes on although
the belt is not broken one can normally
drive on to next V.A.G workshop.
However as the battery is then discharg-
ing continuously, all electrical compo-
nents which are not absolutely essential
should be switched off.
Diesel engine
This lamp comes on when the ignition is
switched on and should go out when the
engine is started.
If the lamp comes on when driving, stop
at once, switch engine off and check the
vee belts for generator and coolant
pump.
If the belt for the coolant pump is broken,
do not drive further. Renew the belt -
for belt size see "Technical data".
If the belt for the generator is broken the
vehicle can still be driven to the next
V.A.G workshop but the battery will then
discharge continuously - see next para-
graph.
If the belts are not broken one can nor-
mally drive on to the next V.A.G work-
shop. As the battery will be discharging
continuously, all electrical components
which are not absolutely essential should
be switched off.
