Cap Venting Hose Routing and Attaching





The vent hose on the cap must be routed and attached according to the illustration - arrows -.

Do not bend the vent hose and make sure there is enough space between the hose and the exhaust system.

Hydraulic Pressure Line





Depending on the vehicle, there are different versions of the line and the threaded connector.

Hydraulic Pressure Line Without the Brass Adapter





Union nut - 1 - to the R tronic hydraulic unit - 18 Nm

Union nut - 2 - to the R tronic shift actuator - 18 Nm

A damaged or leaky hydraulic line can be replaced by a hydraulic line with threaded adapters.

Hydraulic Pressure Line with Threaded Adapters





Threaded adapter - 1 - to the R tronic hydraulic unit - 30 Nm

Threaded adapter - 2 - to the R tronic shift actuator - 30 Nm

Union nuts - 3 and 4 - to threaded adapter - 25 Nm

A damaged or leaky hydraulic line with threaded adapters can be only be replaced with a hydraulic line with threaded adapters.
