Fluid Filter - ASMT: Service and Repair

Oil Filter, Changing and Oil Level, Adjusting - 02E, 6 Speed DSG A/T FWD
This section shows how to change the oil and filter together.

If the old filter remains in the transmission, observe information on oil.

Short Description
First, oil temperature will be read out. If it is higher than 50°C, let the transmission cool down. Remove the overflow tube and drain the oil. Then reinstall the overflow tube and overfill the transmission. Start the engine and drain the excess oil long enough until the oil level reaches the overflow tube.

Up to transmission production date "September 20, 2004", transmissions with two plugs were installed.

It is important to not switch the plugs. Only remove -A- for oil change near pendulum support

Transmissions installed after September 20, 2004, that is, that are newer have only one plug -A-.

- Place drip tray V.A.G 1306 underneath transmission.
- Connect VW Tester and press Check Oil Level in Guided Functions.





- Slowly remove filter housing.
- Before removing filter housing from transmission, tip it slightly in its seating.

This allows oil to flow back into transmission from filter housing.

- Now start engine.
- Press brake and shift into each selector lever position for approximately 3 seconds. Place lever in position "P" again.

Do not switch off engine!

With an oil temperature of 35° to 45°C:
- disconnect the quick-release coupling of the adapter for oil filling VAS 6262 with the engine running.
- Let excess oil drain.
