Add 1 l of ATF.
Remove adapter for oil filling VAS 6262 at quick-release connection and check:

If ATF now flows out of hole in adapter:

ATF does not need topping off.

Drain ATF until it drips.
Install new seal to plug and tighten to 15 Nm. This completes ATF check.

If no ATF drips out:

Add another liter, refer to ATF, topping off .

CAUTION: An ATF level which is too low or too high will impair the function of the transmission. But if the transmission was 2 liters low, it must be carefully inspected. There is probably a major leak.
