Procedure

Note

♦

The transmission fluid is a permanent filling. For this reason,

a fluid level check is not necessary on this transmission.

♦

A fluid level check does therefore not exist.

♦

If leaks occur at the transmission, the cause is to be deter‐

mined and faults must be corrected.

♦

After that it is necessary to drain all the transmission fluid and

fill it again.

– Raise the vehicle.
– Remove the noise insulation. Refer to ⇒  Body Exterior; Rep.

Gr.  50 ; Noise Insulation .

– Place the Used Oil Collection and Extraction Unit -

Note

♦

It is not possible to check the transmission fluid level.

♦

Fill the fluid exactly to the specified quantity.

♦

This assures the transmission is filled correctly.

♦

Underfilling or overfilling the transmission fluid will cause the

transmission to malfunction.

DSG® transmission 0AM. It is available as a replacement
