NOTE:

The illustration on the reservoir for the CVT Gearbox Filler System:VAS5162 in the upper left graphic refers to the use of special ATF for CVT transmissions.

In addition, the necessary work steps for filling are illustrated, which are described as follows:

CAUTION:

Danger Of Causing Damage To The Transmission.

For the correct allocation of the ATF. Refer to the Parts Information. Only use replacement part ATF for "multitronic 0AW FWD" for the "multitronic 0AW FWD" transmission.
Do not mix other ATF types, even in small quantities. Malfunctions and transmission failure could occur.
The ATF filler tool must be clean and the ATF must not be mixed with any other oils.

NOTE:

Before installing a replacement transmission, always clean out the ATF cooler and ATF pipes using compressed air (maximum 10 bar (145 psi)). Refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID LINES, CLEANING .

-- Fill the CVT Gearbox Filler System:VAS5162 reservoir with the ATF for the "multitronic 0AW FWD" ; ATF specification. Refer to the Parts Information.

CAUTION:

Danger of misfilling the transmission.

The connection -2- must be mounted by hand all the way into the inspection plug hole on the transmission without the O-ring.
The oil level tube can be pushed into the ATF inspection plug hole in the upper position only when the O-ring is not on the connection -2-.
This is the only way to correctly check and/or adjust the ATF level to maximum.

-- Install the CVT Gearbox Filler System:VAS5162 connection, without the O-ring, all the way into the ATF check hole hand-tight.

NOTE:

This >>presses<< the oil level tube into the correction installation position.

-- Turn the valve to the filler hose -lower arrow-. The ATF flows into the transmission.

-- Fill at least 5.5 to 7 liters (5.8 to 7.4 qts) ATF into transmission.

-- Move the selector lever into "P".

CAUTION:

Immediately after starting the engine, let it run at 2, 500 RPM.

Running the engine at high speeds is necessary so that the ATF pump is bled after a transmission repair.
If this is not done, the pump could get damaged because it was briefly operated without any ATF.

-- Start the engine.

-- Using the accelerator pedal, let the engine run briefly at 2, 500 RPM.

-- ATF level, checking and filling. Refer to ATF LEVEL, CHECKING .

NOTE:

Observe all notes and test requirements for "Checking ATF level and filling".
