I think it is closer to .5 L than to 1 L, so something like .6 qt. BTW, just to verify: The type 3 dipstick is unique in that it is spring loaded. You push it down far enough that the spring loaded end bottoms out so that the level marks are a known distance above the "bottom." Is your spring working? The dipsticks occasionally get bent and stick, which leads to misreadings for new owners who aren't familiar with them. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
