Service Intervals
|
Oil Change Interval:
|
Typically every 7,500 to 10,000 miles (12,000-16,000 km) or 12 months, depending on driving conditions and oil type. Manual will specify exact intervals and oil grades.
|
Timing Belt Interval:
|
For the 1.8T and 2.8 V6 engines, the timing belt typically requires replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles (96,000-160,000 km). Consult manual for specific engine and the replacement of associated tensioners and water pump.
|
Fluid Specifications

|
Coolant Specification:
|
G12 or G12+ coolant (pink/red color) or equivalent meeting VW TL 774-C/D. Capacity is crucial for proper cooling system function.
|
Brake Fluid Specification:
|
DOT 4 brake fluid. Manual will specify replacement intervals and bleeding procedures.
|
Transmission Fluid Manual:
|
Gear oil for manual transmissions, specific viscosity and API rating will be in manual (e.g., SAE 75W-90 GL-4/GL-5). Capacity important for correct fill level.
|
Transmission Fluid Automatic:

|
Known Issues
|
Common Issues B5 A4:
|
While the manual focuses on repair, common B5 A4 issues include: ignition coil failures, ABS sensor failures, coolant flange leaks, oil leaks (valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets), suspension component wear (bushings, control arms), and potential for window regulator failure. The manual will aid in diagnosing and repairing these.
