    77TSI Oil Change

    Hey Guys,

    So has anyone done an oil change (themselves?) on the Polo 77TSI yet?
    Does anyone know the exact quantity of oil that is meant to be put into the 1.2 Turbo and the torque to be applied on tightening of the sump plug?

    I could pay my 4 Euro to log into erWin and download the service manual and find the answer, but I thought I'd ask here first.

    Torque is 20nm from memory and oil 4.5 liters but, that is only from memory. Service manual is at work!

    Thanks guys

    So if we buy the 5L container, we'll have LOTS left. Maybe I could sell the rest to some of the Polo GTI owners here

    Now that is a really useful piece of information to know.

    You don't happen to have the specs on the 1.4L 118TSI engine do you?

    (PM them to me and I'll put them up in that section, or you can post it up there yourself).

    1.4 CAV- engine
    Sump Plug 30Nm (service manual says to vacuum out the oil, not touch the sump plug)
    Oil Filter 20Nm
    Oil Capacity - Golf Plus: 3.6L including filter
    Capacity from min to max mark on dipstick: 0.5L

    This is all out of the 1.4TSI repair manual, yet the mantainence manual quotes different figures for the Polo GTI:
    CAVE Engine, 132kw 250Nm
    Sump plug: 30Nm for M14 sump plug, 58Nm for M24 plug (mine was M24 from memory)
    Oil Filter: "Tighten to specified torque" 20Nm
    Capacity from Min to Max on dipstick: Unsure, but 1L is what it took from the bottom of the dipstick to full capacity.
    Oil capacity: I put in 4litres, ran it, then topped it up with another 250mls or so...

    Oil capacity is either 3.6 L (Golf Plus, Eos, Scirocco, Golf, Touran, Sharan) or 4.0 L (Tiguan). Figures are with oil filter.

    So if there are any Tiguan owners reading this - pay attention!

    UPDATE : 4-cyl 1.2 l direct injection with turbocharger

    The oil capacity has changed for engines manufactured from June 2011.



    Engines up to May 2011 : 3.6 l with oil filter.

    Engines from June 2011 : 3.9 l with oil filter.


    VW probably imagined it would confuse the heck out of the consumer, so it's probably easier for them just to write "refer to dealer" in the owner's manual.

    So in light of this information, I would actually do as VW says and double-check with the dealer (this goes for all models that didn't come with the oil capacity specified in their manual). They'll probably need your VIN to verify as well.
