At very low temperatures it is therefore advisable to use a radiator muff. The engine

Tyre wear
Tyre life depends to a considerable extent
on the following factors:
Inflation pressure
Pressures which are too high or too
low shorten tyre life - quite apart from
the detrimental influence on vehicle
hmdling. Low pressures can also caw
?e a tyre to fail suddenly. Such tyres
flex much more at high speeds and
this causes excessive heat. This leads
to tread separation and may cause a
blowaut. The pressures should thereiore be checked at regular intervals,
preferably when filling the petrol tank,
and rectified as necessary.
O Mode of driving
Fast cornering, hard acceleration and
violent braking also increase tyre wear.
Seasons of year and weather
Tread wear is higher when ambient
emperatures are high and the road
surface dry, than at lower temperatures when roads are wet. The rubber is
less resistant to friction when warm
than when cold.
Incorrect wheel alignment
lncorrect wheel alignment causes
excessive wear of tvres usuallv on one
side and also detiacts from' vehicle
safe handling.

Economical driving
The technical conditions for economy are built Into /our vehicle
at the factory. The engine is adjusted to' use the minimum
amount of fuel. It is now up to you to maintain the properties obtained by modern technology: It you have your vehicle serviced
in a V.A.G workshop at the intervals laid dow- !n the Service
Schedule you will obtain optimal economy plus constant reliability and long service life.
Economy depends to a large extent on the personal style of
driving. If you wish to drive economically, that is to keep fuel
consumption and brake lining and lyre wear to a minimum,
avoid high speeds and full throttle accelerati;?tl and drive
smoothly and carefully.
On vehicles with a fuel consumption gange the influe~ceof
driving style on fuel consumption is shown very clearly - Further detail on page 26.

At low temDeratures the flow characteristics of d esel fuel deteriorate due to~wax
formation ano this can affecr engine operation when usino summer diesel. For this
reason, winter diesel fuel which works satisfactorily down to about -15C is sold
in the cold season. At lower temperatures,
a certain amount (max. 30%), depending
on actual temperature of regular petrol
(not premium) should be mixed with the
diesel.

At very low titriperatures it is advisable to use a radiator muff.

Suitable muffs can be obtained from your V.A.G Dealer.
Solutions which are too weak $dill not provide adequate pro.
tection against corrosion and should be avoided. We therefore recommend that the solution used should not be weaker
than that used by the factory - 40:60.
If greater protection against frost is required the prooortion

of anti-freeze can simply be increased.
Vehicles for export to cold countries usually have frost protection down to -35C.

Winter tyres
'
. . -.
Are not essential for your vehicle then the SR radial ply tyres
fitted as standard are good in winter conditions providing that
theseare not too severe. This does not apply however to the HR
types which are fitted to models capable of more than 180 kmlh.
These types are designed for speeds up to 210 krnlh and have
treads of a special heat.resistant rubber mixture which is not
very skid-proof when cold, especially on snow and ice. The adhesion and traction becomes increasinalv worse as the tempera+!:redrops so that HR tyres are only suitable to a limited exient " ~ r
winter conditions. It is advisable to replace th'in with wint3.1 p

Cleaning and anti.corrosion treatment of
engine compartment
The engine compartment and the outside
surface of the power unit are given anticorrosion treatment at the factory.
If the engine compartment is cleaned at
arly time with grease removing solutions
9r if one has the engine washed, the anticorrosion compound is nearly always
removed as well. It is therefore essential
to ask for durable preservation of all surfaces, seams, to joints and'components ir:
the engine compartment to be carried out.
Your V.A.G. Cealer has stocks of the highquality preservation compound recommended by the factory.
