WARNING Untrained personnel e.g. apprentices, trainees etc. may
only work on batteries when supervised by a vehicle me- chanic/foreman or vehicle electrician/foreman. Acid is highly corrosive. There is a considerable danger of acid burns if personnel do not handle batteries correctly. Therefore suitable measures must be taken to ensure that equipment/solutions etc. are available to neutralize acid burns. A suitable solution is: e.g. a soap solution. If electrolyte leaks from a battery it may cause skin burns or acid corrosion and rusting on the vehicle. This may damage safety relevant components on the vehicle. The gas which forms when charging and the gas which may escape through vent valves is explosive. In extreme cases a battery may explode if the battery is not handled cBocwohuahsrartserltraeeengusctrheicstoeldrhyisose.earmdcnlbkiduyginVshdogttolkbyasneewnoladlrtogeeswcnnlhea.AawvTGreheg./VedijnuoyglwmkmshopwuerassrgstetealannrtvhtAo.eeGtD/dbjmuaoemenascggpnheiocesrt gtceoaukyfarereteaidnnxitsgepoe.lcroorosacli-on It is prohibited to cause sparks through grinding, welding, cutting operations and use naked lights in the vicinity of batteries. Smoking is also prohibited. Sparks generated by electrostatic charging must also be avoided. Always touch the vehicle body before touching the battery. Only work on batteries in well ventilated and suitable rooms.
1.3.2 Safety markings on battery
Safety markings on battery 1. - Fires, sparks, naked flames and smoking are prohibited when handling batteries. Avoid sparks as well as electrostatic discharge when working with cables and electrical units. Avoid short circuits. Therefore never lay a tool on a battery. 2. - Wear eye protection before commencing work on battery. 3. - Keep children away from acid and batteries. 4. - Disposal: old batteries are classed as hazardous waste. They may only be disposed of through a suitable collection centre and only in accordance with respective legislation. 5. - Never dispose of old batteries in household waste system! 6. - There is a danger of an explosion when working with batteries. A highly explosive gas is produced when batteries are charged. 7. - Always follow instructions on battery, in ELSA "Electrical Sys- tem, General Information" and in owner's manual. 8. - Battery acid is very caustic; therefore wear eye protection and gloves when working with batteries. Do not tilt battery. Acid can leak out of the gas vents of some batteries.

Visual check

WARNING Danger of injury! Observe warning notices and safety regula- tions page 2 !

It is essential to visually inspect the external condition, to check the terminals and to ensure proper attachment of the battery be- fore performing extensive tests.
Caution The battery will be damaged if the battery is not secured
correctly. Vibrations shorten the life of the battery, there is a danger
of an explosion, the cell plates may be damaged and the clamping bracket may damage the battery housing. Check battery is securely seated, if necessary tighten se- curing bolt to specified torque.

Performing this test establishes:

General information on magic eye: Applies for all batteries with ,,1J0", ,,7N0" and ,,3B0" indexes in original equipment and for all replacement batteries 191 915 105 AB and from ,,000 915 105 AX" index. The magic eye provides information concerning electrolyte level and the charge state of the battery. Before carrying out a visual check, tap the magic eye lightly and carefully using the handle of a screwdriver. The air bubbles, which can influence the display, will dissipate when doing this. The col- our display of the magic eye will therefore be more accurate.
Note
Air bubbles can form below the magic eye particularly when the battery is being charged, including during normal vehicle operation. These distort the colour displayed by the magic eye.
Because the magic eye is located in only one cell, the display applies only to this cell. An exact determination of the battery condition is only possible through a battery load test page 9 or a battery test page 14 .
The magic eye can be located at various positions on the bat- Thrt»eeGeryrd.eieffne«rse,snabuttahcottoriesleordyubriysVdocislhkpsawlraagygeesdnaAsrGeu.fVpfiocolkisessnwibtalgylee.:n AG does not guaranteeorac »Black«, battery partly discharged, charge state < 65 % or

In the future, the only remaining colours will be »black« or »colourless or light yellow«. The magic eye provides information concerning the electrolyte level of the battery. The charge state of the battery can no longer be read from the magic eye, a battery load test must be carried out for this page 9 Before carrying out a visual check, tap the magic eye lightly and carefully using the handle of a screwdriver. The air bubbles, which can influence the display, will dissipate when doing this. The col- our display of the magic eye will therefore be more accurate.

Note

Air bubbles can form below the magic eye particularly when the battery is being charged, including during normal vehicle operation. These distort the colour displayed by the magic eye.

Because the magic eye is located in only one cell, the display

applies only to this cell. An exact determination of the battery

condition is only possible through a battery load test

page 9 .

The magic eye can be located at various tery.
Three different colour displays are possible:

To quickly ascertain the state of discharged batteries, the battery current draw test whilst charging helps to determine whether the battery must be replaced or fully recharged.
Note
For battery tester with printer -VAS 6161- , the current draw test must always be performed when the test result ,,Perform current draw test" appears on the display.
The current draw test must be carried out when the test result with battery tester with printer -VAS 5097A- is as follows: 1 - Starting output sufficient 2 - Starting output poor 3 - Starting output very poor 4 - Cannot be tested charge battery and repeat test. - and when the tester will not switch on (no LED, no printout) Depending on the test result page 13 with battery tester with printer -VAS 5097A- , further procedures or tests may be required before making a final decision on the condition of the battery. Performing a current draw test whilst charging a battery will quick- ly establish whether a partly or fully discharged battery page 59 can be recharged to return it to a serviceable condi- tion.

The battery's current draw must be measured with a current pick-up clamp, e.g. VAS 5051B/7, when charging with battery charger -VAS 5095A- . Battery charger -VAS 5900- and bat- tery charger -VAS 5903- display the current draw on the unit.

Connect battery to battery charger and start charging se- quence.

Measure charging current of battery after 5 minutes.

Test result:

If the current draw A is higher than 10 % of the nominal capacity (e.g. > 6.1 A for a 61 Ah battery), fully charge battery and test again.

Note

For Eos with two 6V absorbent glass mat batteries, the charge current must only be 5 % higher than the nominal capacity of the battery. Example for Eos: the 50 Ah battery must have a charge current higher than 2.5 A after 5 minutes of starting the charging sequence.

Fully charge the battery when the charge current is higher than 10 % of the nominal capacity (observe exception for Eos in above note).

Perform battery test after allowing battery to rest for two hours page 9 .

If the charge current, in amperes, lies below 10 % of the nominal capacity after 5 minutes of starting the charging sequence (5 % for the 2 x 6 volt batteries in Eos) (example for 50 Ah battery < 5A), renew battery. For Guarantee and ex-gratia cases: complete battery test sheet and keep it with the battery.

discharge themselves, e.g. those fitted in stored vehicles.

In totally discharged batteries, the electrolyte is comprised al- most entirely of water because the acid content is so low.

Totally discharged batteries sulphate, that means, the entire plate surfaces of the battery harden.

If a battery is recharged shortly after it has totally lost its charge, the sulphation will mostly dissipate.

If these batteries are not recharged, the plates continue to harden and the ability to recharge is reduced. The result of which is a reduction in the battery output.

WARNING
It is absolutely necessary to disconnect the battery earth strap before working on parts of the gas discharge headlights marked with yellow high voltage symbols. Then switch dipped beam on and off again. This will eliminate any possible residual voltage. The gas discharge lamp control unit must never be operated without a gas discharge lamp. Due to the high voltage (above 28000 V when igniting the gas discharge bulb) and temperatures, the gas discharge bulb must only be operated in the headlight housing.

WARNING Never change bulbs if you are not familiar with the appro-
priate procedures, safety precautions and tools.
Notes on dangerous high voltage and current WARNING
Control units for light systems, connectors and components pertaining to bulb holders conduct lethally high voltage. Operating the control unit and the starter unit is permitted only with the bulb fitted.

WARNING
· Switch off ignition and all electrical consumers and re- move ignition key.
· When working on headlight system, ensure that there is no voltage in any components, including the dissipation of residual voltage after the headlights are switched off.
· Residual voltage can be dissipated by turning the dipped beams on and then off again after withdrawing the ignition key.
· When working on the headlight system, ensure that the lights cannot be switched on.

Notes on pressure, temperature, radiation/arcs
WARNING
· The bulbs may be operated in the headlight housing only (protection against contact due to very hot bulbs, absorp- tion of UV radiation, avoidance of dazzling light, protection against explosion).
· The glass of the bulbs can be very hot - danger of burns. · Avoid looking directly into the beam, as the UV rays from
the gas discharge bulb are about 2.5 times greater than normal halogen bulbs. · Avoid looking into the light beam (danger of glare); vision may be impaired for a substantial time.

WARNING
· Avoid contact with burst bulbs. · H7 bulbs and gas discharge bulbs (xenon and bi-xenon)
are under pressure and can explode while being changed - danger of injury. · Always wear protective goggles and gloves when remov- ing and installing gas discharge bulbs.

On some vehicles, the illumination is not provided by a light bulb, but by an LED (light-emitting diode), depending on the equipment level. This LED is permanently attached to the retaining sleeve and cannot be renewed separately. Retaining sleeves with a light bulb are available in different ver- sions. On the one version, the light bulb can be replaced sepa- rately; on the other version, the light bulb cannot be replaced separately. In this case, the bulb carrier has to be replaced to- gether with the light bulb. Depending on the space requirement, the vehicles are equipped with various electric sockets and cigarette lighter sockets. They differ in length and have different electrical connections. In the case of electric sockets or cigarette lighter sockets with a wiring tail, it may be necessary to perform additional work in order to gain access to the connector.

To do this, complete repair wire sections with con- tacts already crimped on are used and joined to the vehicle's own wiring harness with the aid of four different types of crimp con- nectors. A new set of crimping pliers with head adapters and a hot air blower for shrinking the crimp connectors make a perfect electrical connection.

Note

Wires from airbag and belt tensioner wiring harness are only allowed to be repaired using wiring harness repair set -VAS 1978 B- and previous versions.

Observe the general notes on repairs to the vehicle electrical system page 85 .

Observe vehicle stickers indicating high voltage components. Before carrying out repairs, discharge residual voltage General body repairs, interior; Rep. gr. 69 ; Occupant safety .

For repairs to wiring in the airbag and belt tensioner system, a maximum of two positions may be repaired. The more the repairs there are in the wiring, the greater the resistance and this can trigger faults in the self-diagnosis of the system.

To avoid corrosion, the crimp connectors are always to be shrink-fitted when performing airbag or belt tensioner wiring harness repairs.

Do not incorporate the repaired wiring back in the vehicle's own wiring harness and mark the area of repair clearly with yellow insulating tape.

standard with a twine spacing of 20 mm ± 5. This spacing is

assured for series production via industrial standard numbers

for wiring pairs and it is essential that it is adhered to on the

repair lengths of entwined wiring.

During repairs, the wiring to the triggering units (airbags) must have the same length. When wires -1- and -2- are entwined, the twine spacing of A = 20 mm ± 5 must be adhered to without fail.

There must not be any section of wiring, for example in the vicinity of crimp connectors -arrow-, longer than B = 100 mm with the wires not twisted.

2.4.2 Fibre optic cables (FOC)
There is no provision for fibre optic cable repairs at Volkswagen. In the event of repairs, the entire fibre optic wiring harness must be replaced. To do this, the following safety precautions must be observed:

2.4.4 Renewal of aerial wiring
A new repair concept has been developed for repair work on aer- ial wires. Now connecting wires in different lengths and various adapter cables are available as replacement parts instead of a complete aerial wire. General description: Aerial wires must not be repaired, but if repair is required, they
must be replaced only by connecting wires and adapter cables offered as genuine parts. Replacement parts can be found in the Parts catalogue (ETKA): Special catalogue; Electrical connections; Genuine accessories; Subgroup 35 from illustration No. 035-20 . These genuine parts are suitable for all aerial wires and wire diameters which may need to be replaced. The connector housings for aerial wires are only available as genuine parts in one colour. However, they can be used for all colours of aerial connector. No provision has been made for replacement of individual aerial connectors in the event of repair. The wires can be used retroactively for all VW models, with all installed aerial wire diameters. All adapter and connection wires are suitable for all transmitter and receiver signals. This repair method can also be used for testing or retrofitting.

Note
Note that the total length of an aerial wire, depending on vehicle equipment level, can be divided into sections by aerial diversity control unit, traffic information control unit or aerial amplifier. Only the defective section of aerial wire must be replaced.
Pull defective aerial wire connections off units. Determine the routing of the defective aerial wire in vehicle
and measure the total length of the aerial connecting wire to be replaced.
The total length of aerial connecting wire is the sum of the length of adapter cables required -1- and -3- and the connecting wire -2-. To determine the length of connecting wire required, subtract
60 cm from the measured total length of aerial connecting wire -2-. Procure the required adapter cables -1- and -3- and connect- ing wire -2- at length calculated as genuine part from the Electronic parts catalogue (ETKA). Cut off connectors of defective aerial wire. The remainder of the defective aerial wire remains in the vehicle. Connect adapter cables -1- and -3- to equipment in vehicle. Route and attach the connection line -2- in the immediate vi- cinity of the factory routing.

Before crimping the repair line, the single wire seal must there- fore first be pushed onto the wire. It is essential that the single wire seals are of the correct size to fit the cross section of the repair wire. The outer diameter of the single wire seal is based on the socket diameter of the contact housing. Only carry out the repair using the correct assembly tool. Assembling single wire seal: Disengage the contact locking mechanism using the appro- priate release tool -A- and then pull the wire with the single wire seal backwards -arrow- out of the contact housing.

Note
Observe the general notes on repairs to the vehicle electrical system page 85 .
To release, always use the correct release tools. Under no circumstances should the contacts be pulled out of the contact housings with force.
Damaged contact housings must always be replaced. New contact housings can be ordered from the OTC in Kassel.
As an aid to disengage the secondary locking mechanisms, a small screwdriver can be used.
The socket/pin assignment can be found stamped on the sec- ondary locking mechanism or on the rear of the contact hous- ing.
For more detailed information about the locations of connec- tors, see Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.
Allocation of the correct release tool to the respective locking de- vices can be gleaned from the table in the operating instruc- tions of -VAS 1978/35- .
2.6.2 Secondary locking element
The secondary locking mechanism is a housing catch (second line locking mechanism) that secures all the wires in one contact housing. If a secondary locking mechanism is fitted to a contact housing, this must always be opened or removed using the ap- propriate tool before releasing and pulling out individual crimp contacts. The secondary locking mechanism is different in colour from the rest of the contact housing. This makes it easier to identify the secondary locking mechanism and clarifies its intended function. The types of contact housing shown here are just a few examples to show the different functions of secondary locking mechanism. Example 1: The housing catch is disengaged by removing a ,,toothed ele- ment" -arrow-.
