To check and adjust the tire pressure in a Volkswagen T5 other, start by locating the tire pressure information sticker, usually located on the driver's side door jamb or inside the fuel filler flap. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire, comparing it to the recommended pressure specified in the owner's manual. If the tire pressure is too low, add air until it reaches the recommended level. If it is too high, release air until it reaches the correct pressure.

To check the brake fluid level in a Volkswagen T5 other, locate the brake fluid reservoir under the hood, usually near the firewall on the driver's side. Clean the area around the reservoir cap to prevent contamination. Remove the cap and check the fluid level, which should be between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir.

Be cautious not to spill brake fluid on any painted surfaces, as it can cause damage.

To jump-start a Volkswagen T5 other, you will need a set of jumper cables and a working vehicle with a charged battery. Park the working vehicle close to the T5, ensuring the two batteries are within reach of the jumper cables. Connect one end of the positive (red) jumper cable to the positive terminal of the T5's dead battery, then connect the other end to the positive terminal of the working vehicle's battery. Similarly, connect one end of the negative (black) jumper cable to the negative terminal of the working vehicle's battery and the other end to a metal surface on the T5's engine. Start the working vehicle and let it run for a few minutes, then attempt to start the T5. Once the T5 starts, let it run for a while to recharge the battery.

The air filter in a Volkswagen T5 other should be replaced regularly to ensure optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency. It is recommended to replace the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles or as specified in the owner's manual.
