Volkswagen New Beetle. Manual - part 2292

 

 

The 6-speed automatic transmission 09G is equipped with 6 hydraulically activated forward gears. The 2nd, 
3rd, 4th ,5th and 6th gears become mechanically driven gears by cutting out torque converter slip when the 
lock-up clutch is closed. 

TORQUE CONVERTER 

The torque converter is equipped with a lock-up clutch. The lock-up clutch is closed dependent on load and 
speed. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears are then driven mechanically independent of slip. 

ATF 

The ATF oil is filled-for-life. The ATF does not require changing within the framework of a service. 

When checking oil level use only ATF with the Part No. G 055 025 A2. 

The ATF level in the planetary gearbox and the final drive is checked and filled simultaneously. See 
SERVICING - A/T (09G) article. 

GUIDED FAULT FINDING, VEHICLE SELF-DIAGNOSIS AND MEASURING TECHNOLOGY 

Before performing repairs to the automatic transmission, determine the cause of the malfunction as precisely as 
possible with the aid of "Guided fault finding". 

The guided fault finding is performed with Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System VAS 5051.
