Help with fluids please!!

[oli0622]

Ok so this is my first car, so i have no idea what to do, and the owners manual didn't come with the car, so i wanted to ask.... where do all the fluids go in the car, and what kind do i have to buy, like in specific.... I know that the oil goes where the yellow thing is, but there's this warning light on my car, idk if you can see in the picture... it's a blue one... please help me asap!! Thanks

The Blue Temp Light means your engine is cold; it should go out once it warms up. If it does not go out then it means something else and I would have to look that up.

Blue Light means the car isn't warmed up yet. It goes out after a few minutes (+/- depending on your local temperature too). If that blue light glows red, your car is overheating and you should pull over and let it cool. You car doesn't have a temperature gauge so this is the substitute you get.

Also, oil doesn't go in the yellow thing.... That where you chek the oil. Oil goes in that circular cap in the top righthand side in the lower picture right above the VW badge on the engine cover.

Bottom picture, the lower blue cap is windshield washer fluid. I'm not sure what the one above it is exactly.

Hopes this helps.

WELCOME TO THE ORG!!!!

Check your owners manual, this will answer a lot of your your questions. If you don't have one, check on E-Bay. You should be able to find one there.
