FLUID LEVEL
NOTE: Transmission fluid level is checked
when fluid is cold with engine idling in
neutral.
1.Ensure vehicle is on level ground.
2.Check fluid level registers between MAX and
MIN marking on dipstick.
CHECK SECURITY OF JACK, BRACE AND
CHOCKS
CHECK ENGINE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM V8
CHECK OPERATION OF ELECTRONIC CONTROL
UNIT/SYSTEMS - V8CHECK/TOP UP COOLING SYSTEM
1.To prevent corrosion of aluminium alloy engine
parts it is imperative that cooling system is filled
with a solution of water and phosphate free
anti-freeze, winter or summer. Never fill or top up
with plain water.
WARNING: Do not remove filler cap when
engine is hot because cooling system is
pressurised and personal scalding could
result.
2.When removing filler cap, turn cap slowly
anti-clockwise, pause and allow all pressure to
escape.
3.Continue to turn until cap is removed.
4.When engine is cold expansion tank coolant
should be level with top of indicator post, visible
inside tank through filler hole.
5.If necessary, top up cooling system with
premixed coolant. Use soft water whenever
possible, if local water supply is hard, rainwater
should be used.
6.When replacing filler cap it is important that it is
tightened down fully. Failure to tighten filler cap
properly may result in water loss, with possible
damage to engine.
The cooling system should be drained and flushed at
2 year intervals or at onset of second winter. Refer to
Coolant Requirements.

CLEAN BATTERY CONNECTIONS
Remove battery terminals, clean and coat with
petroleum jelly.
A low maintenance battery is installed in vehicle.
Dependent upon climate conditions electrolyte levels
should be checked as follows:
Temperate climates, every three years.
Hot climates, every year.
RENEW CAMSHAFT DRIVE BELT - Tdi
Renew camshaft drive belt.See ENGINE, Repair,
Camshaft Drive Belt and Gears
The engine timing gears are driven by a flexible
rubber belt which must be renewed at intervals
determined by the severity of operating conditions.
In reasonable, temperate climate operation, renew the
belt every 120,000 km (72,000 miles) or every six
years whichever occurs earlier.
In adverse operating conditions such as work in dusty
atmospheres, high ambient temperatures and desert
and tropical zones, renew the belt every 60,000 km
(36,000 miles) or every three years whichever occurs
earlier.
CAUTION: If the drive belt is not renewed
at the correct interval, it could fail,
resulting in serious damage.
