Transmission Oil Level, Checking and Filling

Transmission Oil Level, Checking and Filling

Note the Following Information:

• Use the transmission oil available as a replacement part. Refer to the Parts Catalog.

• It is necessary to use the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262/6) on some oil containers.






• It may be necessary to shorten the pipe on the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262 A).

Shortening the Pipe on the Adapter for Oil Filling (VAS 6262 A) :






- Shorten the pipe to 210 mm - a -. This assures the pipe on the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262 A) will not touch the bottom on some oil containers.

• Dimension - a - is measured starting from the shaft (green surface) on the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262 A).

- Shorten the pipe using the pipe cutter (VAS 6056/2).






Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Torque Wrench (5-50 Nm) (V.A.G 1331)

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

• Vehicle Diagnostic Tester

• Drip Tray for VAS 6100 (VAS 6208)

• Adapter for Oil Filling (VAS 6262 A)

• Adapter for Filling ATF Oil (VAS 6262/2)

• Adapter for Oil Filling (VAS 6262/6) (also for some containers)

Requirements:

• The vehicle is level and all hoist supports are the same height.

• The noise insulation has been removed.

• The vehicle diagnostic tester is connected

• The transmission oil should not be warmer than 45 °C (113 °F) when starting the procedure.

• Test temperature: 35 to 45 °C (95 to 113 °F)

Checking

- Connect the vehicle diagnostic tester and identify the vehicle in Guided Functions.

- Select DSG transmission.

- Select Check Fluid Level.

• Let the transmission cool down if the oil temperature is higher than 45 °C (113 °F).

The engine is idling and the selector lever is in the "P" position.

- Place the drip tray for VAS 6100 or the used oil collecting and extracting device (V.A.G 1782) under the transmission near the transmission oil drain and inspection plug.

- Remove the plug - arrow -.






- Always replace the seal - arrow - on the plug.






• Even if the level of the transmission oil is too low, at first a small amount of oil will leak out of the overflow tube, because it fills during operation.

- Allow the excess oil to drain.

- Reinstall the plug, with a new seal, as soon as all the oil has drained out (it starts to drip).

- If no transmission oil comes out, then fill.

Adding

- Install the fitting from the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262 A) into the hole for the inspection plug hand tight.






- Shake the bottles before opening them.

- Install the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262 A) to the oil bottle. Be sure to read the instructions.

- Fill with 1 liter of transmission oil.

- Connect the oil filler adapter (VAS 6262 A) to the fitting and fill:

If oil leaks out of the hole:

The oil must not be topped off.

- Allow the excess oil drain.

- As soon as the oil has run out (it begins to drip), disconnect the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262 A) and install the plug with a new seal.

If no oil leaks out of the hole:

- Add another liter of oil. Refer to => [ Transmission Oil Level, Checking and Filling ] Transmission Oil Level, Checking and Filling.

Too little or too much oil will impair the transmission.
