Up to transmission production date "September 20, 2004", transmissions with two plugs were installed.

Then, the second plug was eliminated so that oil draining and level adjusting is done using only one plug -A-.

A plastic overflow tube is located behind this plug (with a 8 mm hex socket head, tightening specification: 3 Nm). Its length determines the oil level in the transmission.
