WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Audi S7, 2017 Audi S7, and 2016 Audi S7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

The ATF pipes -2- cannot remain attached to the mechatronic, because these would otherwise block the removal.

Always replace the seals -3 and 4-.

CAUTION:

There is a risk of destroying the transmission control module (Mechatronic) with static discharge.

  • Always "discharge" the static electricity before working with electric connectors. Do this by touching a grounded object, for example vehicle ground, the vehicle or the hoist.
  • Do not touch contacts in transmission connector with hands.

-- Pull the retainer in direction of -arrow 1-, push the release down in direction of -arrow 2- and disconnect the connector.

CAUTION:

Risk of causing Damage to the Mechatronic.

  • Only bolts -6 to 1- may be loosened.
  • If other bolts are loosened, this may affect the function of the Mechatronic unit or it may come apart.
NOTE:

The sealing surface must not be damaged.

The Mechatronic fits partially inside the transmission.

If the Mechatronic must be removed, then a second technician will be needed to keep it from falling. Another alternative, the bolts -1 and 2- can be installed slightly to hold the Mechatronic in place while it is being removed.

-- Remove the Mechatronic.

CAUTION:

Danger of Damaging the Sensor on the Back Side of the Mechatronic.

  • Lay the Mechatronic with the bolt head side facing down only.
