ATF, Filling

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Torque wrench (V.A.G 1331)

• Used oil collection and extraction unit (V.A.G 1782 )

• Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system ( VAS 5051)

• Drip tray for workshop hoist (VAS 6208)

• Adapter for filling oil (VAS 6262)

• Adapter (VAS 6262/2)

- With engine "running", install adapter for filling oil (VAS 6262/2) hand-tight.





- Add 1 l of ATF.

- Pull off adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262) at quick-release connection and check:

If ATF now flows out of hole in adapter:

ATF does not need topping off.

- Drain ATF until it drips.

- Install new seal to plug and tighten to 15 Nm. This completes ATF check.

If no ATF drips out:

- Add another liter => [ ATF, Filling ] ATF, Filling.

CAUTION!
An ATF level which is too low or too high will impair the function of the transmission. But if the transmission was 2 liters low, it must be carefully inspected. There is probably a "major" leak.
