Transmission Fluid, Filling

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi S3, 2017 Audi A3 Quattro, 2016 Audi S3, 2016 Audi A3 Quattro, and 2016 Audi A3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

-- If no transmission fluid flows out at the opening for drain and check plug -arrow 1- between 35 ° and 45 °C (95 ° and 113 °F), fill the transmission fluid as follows.

-- Shake the container before opening.

-- Attach the transmission fluid container to the : VAS6262A .

-- Install the : VAS6262A into the opening for the drain and check plug -arrow 1- hand-tight.

-- Hold the container with the : VAS6262A as high as possible over the transmission and fill the transmission with transmission fluid.

-- To check if the transmission is sufficiently filled, disconnect the quick-release coupling on : VAS6262A at regular intervals and seal the hose with a finger or a clean plug.

The collected transmission fluid runs out of the overflow pipe -arrow 2-.
Some transmission fluid always leaks out at the opening for the drain and check plug -arrow 1-, regardless of the transmission fluid level.
Every 30 seconds a small wave of fluid comes out of the overflow pipe, regardless of the height of the fluid level (cause: cooling fluid impulse to clutch.) This wave does not mean that the fluid level is sufficient and therefore must not be taken into account when determining the fluid level.
Do not reuse transmission fluid that was drained.

If some transmission fluid still leaks out at a transmission fluid temperature between 35 ° and 45 °C (95 ° and 113 °F) (due to additional warming), the transmission fluid level is OK.

-- If the transmission fluid level is OK, perform the final procedures. Refer to FINAL PROCEDURES below.
