WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2009 Audi A4, 2008 Audi A4, 2007 Audi A4, 2006 Audi A4, and 2005 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- The Multitronic 01J or 0AN transmission requires a different ATF than shift automatics. Only ATF for CVT transmission which can be obtained as replacement part must be used .
- Do not allow engine to run without filling ATF and do not tow the vehicle.
- Vehicle on a flat surface
NOTE:
- The illustration on the reservoir for ATF filler system F/CVT gearbox VAS 5162 in upper left graphic refers to the use of special ATF for CVT transmissions.
- The illustration also shows pictures of the steps required to fill the transmission. These steps will be explained in the following.
Fig 2: Securing Filled Reservoir Of ATF Filler System F/CVT Gearbox VAS 5162 As High As Possible On Vehicle
- Secure filled reservoir of ATF filler system F/CVT gearbox VAS 5162 as high as possible on the vehicle.
- The shut-off valve on the ATF filler system F/CVT gearbox VAS 5162 must be closed.
CAUTION:
- Engine must not be started if only a small amount or no ATF is in the transmission after repair work or after significant ATF loss.
- In this case, a preliminary filling with 4.5 to 5 liters ATF must be performed.
- Remove ATF check plug - B -.
- Thread connection on shut-off valve of ATF filler system F/CVT gearbox VAS 5162 into opening of ATF check plug - B -.

- Rotate shut-off valve in direction of filler hose - lower arrow -. ATF flows into transmission.
- Fill transmission with 5 Liter ATF.
- Selector lever in "P" , start engine and let it run at idle.
CAUTION:
Let engine run at high speed at "2500 - -3000 RPM" for approx. 4 to 5 seconds immediately after starting.
Running the engine at high speeds is necessary so that the ATF pump is bled after a transmission repair.
If running at high speeds is not performed, the transmission can be damaged.
- Start engine
- By pressing the gas pedal, run engine at high speed at "2500 - -3000 RPM" for approx. 5 seconds.
- Press brake pedal and hold.
- Shift through all selector lever positions "P, R, N, D, S" and let each position remain shifted at idle for approx. 2 seconds.
- Selector lever in "P" and let engine continue to run at idle.
- Thread connection on shut-off valve of ATF filler system F/CVT gearbox VAS 5162 from ATF check plug opening - B -.
- Allow excess ATF to drain off.
