ATF, Filling For ATF Flushing Process

ATF, filling for ATF flushing process - 01J, Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)

CAUTION!
^ The Multitronic 01J or 0AN transmission requires a different ATF than shift automatics. Only ATF for CVT transmission which can be obtained as replacement part must be used.
^ Do not allow engine to run without filling ATF and do not tow the vehicle.

^ Vehicle on a flat surface





Note:
^ The illustration on the reservoir for ATF filler system F/CVT gearbox VAS 5162 in upper left graphic refers to the use of special ATF for CVT transmissions.
^ The illustration also shows pictures of the steps required to fill the transmission. These steps will be explained in the following.





- Secure filled reservoir of ATF filler system F/CVT gearbox VAS 5162 as high as possible on the vehicle.

^ The shut-off valve on the ATF filler system F/CVT gearbox VAS 5162 must be closed.

CAUTION!
^ Engine must not be started if only a small amount or no ATF is in the transmission after repair work or after significant ATF loss.
^ In this case, a preliminary filling with 4.5 to 5 liters ATF must be performed.





- Remove ATF check plug - B -.

- Thread connection on shut-off valve of ATF filler system F/CVT gearbox VAS 5162 into opening of ATF check plug - B -.





- Rotate shut-off valve in direction of filler hose - lower arrow -. ATF flows into transmission.

- Fill transmission with 5 Liter ATF.

- Selector lever in "P", start engine and let it run at idle.

CAUTION!
Let engine run at high speed at "2500 - -3000 RPM" for approx. 4 to 5 seconds immediately after starting.
Running the engine at high speeds is necessary so that the ATF pump is bled after a transmission repair.
If running at high speeds is not performed, the transmission can be damaged.

- Start engine

- By pressing the gas pedal, run engine at high speed at "2500 - -3000 RPM" for approx. 5 seconds.

- Press brake pedal and hold.

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

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





- Thread connection on shut-off valve of ATF filler system F/CVT gearbox VAS 5162 from ATF check plug opening - B -.

- Allow excess ATF to drain off.

- Install ATF check plug - B -.
