Filling volumes of the lubrication system with oil filter, l
| Engines 1.0 l 37 kW and 1.4 l 50 kW | 4,4 |
| Engines 1.4 l, 55 kW and 74 kW | 3,2 |
Fill the system with oils that comply with VW 500 00, VW 501 01 and VW 502 00 standards.
1. Place the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface.
2. Start the engine and warm it up to operating temperature. Stop the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into the oil pan.
3.Remove plug 1 (see figureLubrication system parts for 1.0L, 37 kW and 1.4L, 50 kW engines) or 6 (see figure Lubrication system parts for 1.4L, 55 and 74 kW engines) oil filler neck.
4. Remove the engine splash shield.
5. Unscrew plug 15 (see figure Lubrication system parts for 1.0L, 37 kW and 1.4L, 50 kW engines) or 29 (see figure Lubrication system parts for 1.4L, 55 and 74 kW engines) the drain hole on the engine crankcase, after placing a container underneath it, and drain the used oil.
6. Screw in the plug, replacing the sealing ring 16 with a new one (see figure Lubrication system parts for 1.0L, 37 kW and 1.4L, 50 kW engines) or 28 (see figure Lubrication system parts for 1.4L, 55 and 74 kW engines).
7.Unscrew the oil filter 4 using a special key (see figureLubrication system parts for 1.0L, 37 kW and 1.4L, 50 kW engines) or 12 (see figure Lubrication system parts for 1.4L, 55 and 74 kW engines).
8. Lubricate the O-ring of the new filter with engine oil.
9. Screw in the new filter by hand without using a tool.
10. Fill in the required amount of new oil, monitoring its level using the indicator.
11. Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Stop the engine, check the oil level and top up if necessary.

Diesel engines
The filling volume of the lubrication system with oil filter is 4.5 l.
Fill the system with oils that meet the following standards:
- 1.9 L, 74 kW engine - VW 505 0;
- engine 1.9 l, 47 kW - VW 506 00.
1. Place the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface.
2. Start the engine and warm it up to operating temperature. Stop the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into the oil pan.
3. Remove the oil filler cap.
4. Remove the engine splash shield.
5.Unscrew plug 18 (see figureDiesel engine lubrication system parts) the drain hole on the engine crankcase, after placing a container underneath it, and drain the used oil. Screw in a new plug.
6. Unscrew cover 1.
7. Remove filter element 4.
8. Install a new filter element, replacing the sealing ring 3.
9. Screw in a new cover 1 with a new sealing ring 2. The tightening torque of the oil filter cover is 25 N·m.
10. Fill in the required amount of new oil, monitoring its level using the indicator.
11. Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Stop the engine, check the oil level and top up if necessary.
