WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Audi A5, 2013 Audi A5, 2012 Audi A5, and 2011 Audi A5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Special tools and workshop equipment required

Used Oil Collection and Extraction Unit :SMN372500
CVT Gearbox Filler System :VAS5162

Preparing:

Drain the ATF

CAUTION:

Risk of damaging the transmission.

Use replacement ATF for the "Multitronic 0AW" transmission only.
Other types of non-approved ATFs and oils can cause malfunctions in the transmission or the transmission could stop working all together.
Allocate accordingly. Refer to the parts information.
The ATF filler tool must be clean and the ATF must not be mixed with any other ATF oils.

NOTE:

The illustration on the reservoir for the :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:

PROCEDURE

Courtesy of AUDI OF AMERICA, LLC

-- Fill the :VAS5162 with the ATF for the "Multitronic 0AW" transmission.

-- Attach the filled container as high as possible on the vehicle.

The shut-off valve on the :VAS5162 must be closed.

CAUTION:

Risk of damaging the transmission.

Do not start the engine if there is only a little or no ATF in the transmission.
In this case, 5.5 to 6 liters (1.5 to 1.6 gallons) of ATF must be prefilled.

-- Remove the O-ring -1- on the connection -2- on the :VAS5162 .

CAUTION:

There is a risk of filling the transmission incorrectly.

The connection -2- must be mounted by hand all the way into the check hole on the transmission without the O-ring.
The oil level tube can be pushed into the check 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 :VAS5162 connection all the way into the ATF check hole hand-tight without the O-ring.

NOTE:

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

-- Turn the valve toward the filling hose -lower arrow-. The ATF flows into the transmission.

-- Pour at least 5.5 to 6 liters (1.5 to 1.6 gallons) of ATF into transmission.

-- Move the selector lever into "P" position.

CAUTION:

Let the engine run at approximately 2500 RPM immediately after starting it.

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.

-- Press the accelerator pedal to let the engine run briefly at 2500 RPM.

-- Press the brake pedal and hold.

-- Shift through all selector lever positions "P, R, N, D, S" and let each position remain shifted at idle for approximately two seconds.

-- Selector lever in "P" and let engine continue to run at idle.

-- Remove the connection on the shut-off valve for :VAS5162 from the ATF check plug opening.

-- Let any excess ATF drain out.

-- Retighten the old ATF check plug.

Tightening specification: 30 Nm .

-- Continue flushing the ATF. Refer to ATF FLUSH - go to ATF, Flushing .

-- After the second flushing, check the ATF level and fill. Refer to ATF, DRAINING AND FILLING .

NOTE:

Observe all notes and test requirements for "ATF Level, Checking and Filling".
