APPLICATION

TRANSAXLE APPLICATION

This transmission can be identified by code letters stamped on case. (Scheme 95)

Scheme 95

Transaxle

Check fluid level at 20,000 mile intervals. See maintenance schedule for change interval.

Center Differential & Final Drives

Check fluid level at 20,000 mile intervals. Fluid is filled for life. No changing is required.

CHECKING FLUID LEVELS

Note. ATF level will vary according to temperature. If ATF level is checked when ATF temperature is too low, overfilling may result. If ATF level is checked when AFT is too high, under filling may result. Overfilling or under filling will impair function of transmission. ATF temperature appears in display of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051.

01J Transaxle

1. Requirements for checking ATF level are as follows. Transmission not in emergency running mode. Vehicle in horizontal position. Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 connected, vehicle self-diagnosis mode activated and vehicle system "02 - transmission electronics" selected. Engine idling. Air conditioner and heating must be switched off. At start of test, ATF temperature must not be higher than 30 C; allow transmission to cool down if necessary.
2. Using VAS 5051, select diagnosis function "08-Read data block" from menu (1). (Scheme 96) Enter "010" into key block (2) to select "Display Group number 010" and confirm entry with "Q" key. (Scheme 97) Read ATF temperature in display zone (3). (Scheme 98)
3. With brake pedal depressed, shift through all selector lever positions (P, R, N and D) at idling speed, and remain in each position for approximately 2 seconds. Raise and support vehicle.
4. Release quick fasteners (2 and 3), and remove sound insulation. (Scheme 99) Place container under transmission. When ATF has reached 95° F (35° C), unscrew ATF inspection plug (B). (Scheme 100)
5. Approximately 0.1 pint will always drain initially from internal oil level pipe when plug is unscrewed. If transmission is filled with proper quantity of ATF, a small amount of fluid should drain out of inspection bore once ATF temperature reaches between 100° F (35° C) and 113° F (45° C). For warmer climates, maximum temperature may rise to 122° F (50° C).
6. If ATF fluid has not drained out of inspection bore when temperature reaches 104° F (40° C), top off ATF. See «FLUID CAPACITIES»(/audi/a4/b6-2000-2006/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-servicing-at-01j-multitronic-cvt__fluid-capacities). Replace ATF inspection plug and tighten to specification. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(/audi/a4/b6-2000-2006/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-servicing-at-01j-multitronic-cvt__torque-specifications).
7. Using VAS 5051, press left arrow button to exit from function "08 - Read data block". Select diagnosis function "06 - End output". Switch off ignition and disconnect DLC. Install sound insulation panel.

Front Final Drive

Scheme 96

1. Drive vehicle a short distance to warm up gear oil to approximately 140°F (60°C). Position vehicle on level surface (4-post hoist or over pit). Turn engine off and let gear oil settle for 5 minutes.
2. Release quick-fasteners (2 and 3) and remove rear sound insulation. (Scheme 99) If equipped, loosen bolt on sound insulation cover above left drive shaft. Disengage retainer and remove noise insulation cover. (Scheme 139)
3. Place drain pan under final drive. Remove fill plug (arrow) on side of final drive. (Scheme 101) Check oil level with locally manufactured tool (e.g. a piece of angled wire). Gear oil level should be at 0.335" (8.5) mm below lower edge of fill hole. Add appropriate fluid as required. See «RECOMMENDED FLUIDS»(/audi/a4/b6-2000-2006/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-servicing-at-01j-multitronic-cvt__recommended-fluids).
4. Install NEW fill plug. Tighten to specification. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(/audi/a4/b6-2000-2006/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-servicing-at-01j-multitronic-cvt__torque-specifications). Install noise insulation

DRAINING & REFILLING

Scheme 97

Scheme 98

1. Connect ATF reservoir from VAS 5162 filling system at highest possible point on vehicle. (Scheme 102) Raise and support vehicle. Release quick fasteners (2 and 3), and remove noise insulation tray. (Scheme 99) Place drain pan under transaxle.

3. Turn flow valve in direction of filling hose (lower curved arrow) to allow ATF to flow into transmission. (Scheme 103) Fill transmission with at least 4.8-5.3 Qts. (4.5-5.0 L) of ATF. Move selector lever to position "P", start engine and idle. Check ATF level and top off as necessary. See «CHECKING FLUID LEVELS»(/audi/a4/b6-2000-2006/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-servicing-at-01j-multitronic-cvt__checking-fluid-levels).

Manufacturer does not provide specific procedures for ATF lines and ATF cooler flushing. Before fitting replacement transmission always blow through ATF cooler and ATF lines with no more than 145 psi compressed air, and replace additional ATF filter.

If ATF is dirty upon removal, lines and ATF cooler must additionally be flushed out with clean ATF. To install ATF lines, first insert lines into transmission cooler by hand as far as possible, then bolt on. As an aid for further servicing on vehicles equipped with 4-cylinder turbo engine (Scheme 104)and (Scheme 105). As an aid for further servicing on vehicles equipped with 6-cylinder engine (Scheme 106)

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

BATTERY DISCONNECT PRECAUTIONS

Note. When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle.

Air Bag

ECM

If connector is disconnected from ECM or battery is disconnected, all adaptation values in control module are erased. To achieve optimal anti-theft protection for vehicle, an anti-theft immobilizer was installed. Anti-theft immobilizer is a system for enabling/locking Engine Control Module (ECM) through the W-wire.

This system cannot be circumvented, it is necessary to perform adaptation of anti-theft immobilizer using VAS 5052 in On Board Diagnostic function. The great availability of equipment options makes adaptation of ECM necessary (e.g. cruise control system). This "writing" function is not possible with a generic scan tool, therefore it is necessary to use VAS 5052 in On Board Diagnostic function for this purpose. DTC memory content will remain intact however. If engine is started after this, a rough, uneven idle can result. In this case, ECM readiness code must be regenerated.

ECM Readiness Code

While limited diagnostic information is available, vehicle manufacturer does not support diagnostic information using aftermarket scan tools. To properly diagnose vehicle, it is recommended to use VAS 5051 scan tool with VAS 5051/1 adapter cable or VAG 1551 scan tool with 1551/3A adapter cable and VAG 1598/31 test box.

Readiness code must be generated when Engine Control Module (ECM) memory is cleared, battery voltage is disconnected or ECM is disconnected. To generate readiness code, vehicle must be stationary, transmission in Park or Neutral, all electrical consumers off, A/C switched off and coolant temperature at least 176° F (80° C). If possible, it is best to warm-up vehicle by test driving. Connect scan tool to DLC. DLC is located behind cover under left side of steering column.

Power Windows

After connecting battery, completely open and close all power windows.

Radio & Clock

Vehicles are equipped with an anti-theft stereo system that requires a code to activate. Record stereo code BEFORE disconnecting negative battery cable. Disconnect negative battery cable. Turn ignition to ON position. Reconnect negative battery cable. Enter code into stereo and reset clock.

Telematics

Note. A4 and A4 Quattro are equipped with Audi Telematics by OnStar(R).

To avoid unnecessary discharge of emergency (back-up) battery, it must always be switched off, prior to disconnecting vehicle battery, and switched back on after vehicle battery is reconnected.

Use VAS 5051 in mode "Guided Fault Finding". Enter appropriate model, equipment and model year. Press ">" to confirm. After control modules have been registered, and DTC memories checked, press "Go To". Use the following prompts to switch off/on emergency (back-up) battery

1. Select "Function/Component Selection".
2. Select "Body".
3. Select "Electrical Equipment".
4. Select "01 - On-Board Diagnostic Systems".
5. Select "Telematic".
6. Select "J526 - Telephone/Telematic Ctrl. Module, Service Mode Disc. Battery". If necessary, press ">" to advance.
7. To switch OFF emergency (back-up) battery, select/press button "3" - Service Mode Activating (No Load On Emergency Battery).
8. Follow tester prompts.
9. To switch ON emergency (back-up) battery, select/press button "1" - Service Mode Deactivating (Normal Operating Condition).
10. Follow tester prompts.
