- 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.

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.
