ATF, Filling For ATF Flush

ATF, Filling for ATF Flush

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Oil Collecting and Extracting Device (V.A.G 1782)

• ATF Filler System F/CVT Transmission (VAS 5162)

Preparing

• Drain the ATF

There is a risk of damaging the transmission.

• Use replacement ATF for the "0AW Transmission" only.

• Other types of non-approved ATFs and oils can cause malfunctions in the transmission or the transmission could stop working all together.

• For the correct allocation, refer to the Parts Catalog.

• The ATF filler tool must be clean and the ATF must not be mixed with any other ATF.

• The illustration on the reservoir for (VAS 5162) in the upper left graphic, refers to the use of special ATF for CVT transmissions.






• In addition, the necessary work steps for filling are illustrated, which are described as follows:

Procedure

- Fill the (VAS 5162) with the ATF for the "CVT 0AW Transmission".

- Secure the filled container to the vehicle as high as possible.






• The shut-off valve on the (VAS 5162) must be closed.

There is a risk of damaging the transmission.

• Do not start the engine if there is only a little or no ATF in the transmission.

• In this case, a preliminary filling with 5.5 to 6 liters ATF must be performed.

- Remove the O-ring - 1 - on the connection - 2 - on the (VAS 5162).






Danger of misfilling the transmission.

• The connection - 2 - must be mounted by hand all the way into the inspection plug hole on the transmission without the O-ring.

• The oil level tube can be pushed into the ATF inspection plug hole in the upper position only when the O-ring is not on the connection - 2 -.

• This is the only way to correctly check and/or adjust the ATF level to the maximum.

- Install the (VAS 5162) connection, without the O-ring, all the way into the ATF check hole hand-tight.

• By doing so, the oil level tube is pushed into the correct installation position.

- Turn the valve to the filler hose - lower arrow -. The ATF flows into the transmission.






- Fill at least 5.5 to 6 liters ATF into transmission.

- Move the selector lever into "P".

Immediately after starting the engine, let it run at 2,500 RPM.

• Running the engine at high speeds is necessary so that the ATF pump is bled after a transmission repair.

• If this is not done, the pump could get damaged because it was briefly operated without any ATF.

- Start the engine.

- Using the accelerator pedal, let the engine run briefly at 2,500 RPM.

- Press the brake pedal and hold it down.

- Shift through all selector lever positions "P, R, N, D, S" and let each position remain shifted at idle for approximately 2 seconds.

- Selector lever in "P" and let engine continue to run at idle.

- Thread connection on shut-off valve of the (VAS 5162) from ATF inspection plug opening.

- Let any excess ATF drain out.

- Tighten the old ATF check plug.

• Tightening specifications: 30 Nm.

- Continue ATF flushing => [ Flush ATF ] ATF Flush.

- Check the ATF level after the second flushing and fill if necessary.

• Observe all notes and test requirements for "Checking ATF level and filling".
