How many quarts of oil does a 1992 vw gti 16v take

What faults codes are showing on a test of the electronic engine control module?

Any good quality brand synthetic . 5W20..5W30 or similar.

Shell Rotella 5W40 is about as good as it gets. Always use a OE VW oil filter....buy 4 or 6 and keep the others for next time along with oil drain washers.

VW has recommendations in the handbook if you still have it.

If this is the turbo engine....Engine takes 3.7 quarts, so you need to change it often as you can afford...about every 5000 to 7000 miles.

Colour is the key. Mixing is bad becase some coolants gel when mixed. pink is the most commen one you will find in late moddle VW's. pink is G11 or G12. If your changing the coolant stick to the same stuff other kinds may be corosive to your internal components.

For 1995 VW Golf GTi the correct gap for spark plugs is:
Electrode gap = 0,7 mm

Please rate my response. Thanks!

low on oil?

Green/blue to negative side of the coil, yellow to the positive side of the coil.

This engine requires synthetic oil, 5 quarts, and oil filter. Remove dip stick, remove oil drain plug at bottom of engine oil pan, remove filter housing, remove oilf filter and o-ring. Replace o-ring and filter, rub o-ring with some new oil, replace filter housing, replace oil drain plug, pour new oil in at top of engine oil cap, replace dip stick, start engine, run for 45 seconds, turn off, check dip stick to make sure oil is at correct level. You are done, recycle old oil.

The light has likely burned out. I doubt if someone removed the bulb. Have that checked before hitting the panic button! Any car with computer controls has a light.

VW = ****. Buy new car. Newer American cars are okay. If your going to go to 00' or older stick with japanese make.

use timing light to set correct ignition timing.
