Transmission Fluid, Draining And Filling: Notes
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Used Oil Collection and Extraction Unit :SMN372500
- Oil Filler :VAS6262A with Adapter For Oil Filling :VAS6262/4
- Adapter VAS6262/7 :VAS6262/7
- It may be necessary to shorten the bleed pipe on the Adapter For Oil Filling :VAS6262A . Refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID, DRAINING AND FILLING .
- Container with the transmission fluid for the 7-speed DSG® transmission 0CG. For the part number. Refer to the Parts information.
Measure the Length of the Bleed Pipe on the Oil Filler :VAS6262A . Shorten it if Necessary.
Shorten the pipe to dimension -a-. This assures the pipe on the Oil Filler :VAS6262A will not touch the bottom on some oil containers.
- Dimension -a- = 210 mm
Dimension -a- is measured starting from the shaft (the green surface) on the Adapter For Oil Filling :VAS6262A .
If dimension -a- is greater than 210 mm:
-- Make a mark on the bleed pipe, dimension -a-, and cut it, with for example the Brake Line Tool Kit - Pipe Cutter :VAS6056/2 .
-- Clean the Oil Filler :VAS6262A .
Procedure
Pay attention to REPAIR INFORMATION .
The transmission fluid is a permanent filling.
It is not possible to check the transmission fluid level.
If the transmission is leaking, find the cause and correct it.
After that it is necessary to drain all the transmission fluid and fill it again.
