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

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

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

-- Remove the overflow tube.

-- Drain the fluid.

-- Reinstall the overflow tube and tighten it to 3 Nm.

-- Install the drain plug with a new seal -arrow-.
