The transmission code letters are also listed on the vehicle data plates.

Self-study program number. 180 informs extensively about the function of this transmission.

Torque converter

The torque converter is equipped with a lock-up clutch. The lock-up clutch is closed load- and speed-dependant with minimum pulsations and mechanically drives all forward gears independent of slip.

Transmission

5-speed automatic transmission 01V is equipped with 5 hydraulically activated forward gears. By passing the torque converter slip, these forward gears become mechanically driven gears if the lock-up clutch is closed.

On Board Diagnostic (OBD)

Before performing service work on the automatic transmission, cause of damage must be exactly determined via "Guided Fault Finding".

"Guided Fault Finding" is performed using the tester VAS5051.

Transmission Control Module (TCM) J217 with driving situation shifting (fuzzy logic)

Driving situation- and driving resistance dependent shift point determination is performed automatically.

Advantages

  1. It is shifted depending on consumption
  2. Highest engine performance is always available
  3. Individual adaptation of shift points in all driving situations
  4. Arbitrarily changed shift points

Shift point change when driving up- or downhill ranges

At uphill or downhill ranges, the shifts are automatically selected dependent on the accelerator pedal position and vehicle speed via additional shift characteristics maps.

  1. Shift characteristics map for extreme uphill driving is adapted to the engine performance.
  2. Shift characteristics map for extreme downhill driving is adapted to the braking effect of the engine.

If the torque converter is not inserted completely, this distance will be approx. 11 mm.

CAUTIONIn case of an incorrectly inserted torque converter, the coupling plate of the torque converter or the ATF-pump will be destroyed, if the transmission is flanged to the engine.

Pay particular attention to the following when installing the transmission.

CAUTIONKeep checking to make sure the torque converter behind the drive plate can be turned before and during tightening the bolts at the engine/transmission flange. If the torque converter cannot be turned, it must be assumed that it has not been inserted properly and that the coupling plate of the torque converter or the ATF pump will be destroyed during final tightening of the bolts.

Shift mechanism, checking

Selector lever in position "P" and ignition switched on

  1. Brake pedal is not being operated

Selector lever is locked and cannot be shifted out of position "P" with the button at selector lever pressed. Shift lock solenoid is locking the selector lever.

  1. Brake pedal is being operated

Shift lock solenoid enables the selector lever. Selecting a driving mode must be possible with the button at shift handle pressed without "sticking".

Slowly shift selector lever from "P" through "R, N, D, S" checking whether selector lever position in dash panel insert agrees with selector lever position.

Selector lever in position "N" and ignition switched on

  1. Brake pedal is not being operated

Selector lever is locked and cannot be shifted out of position "N" with the button at selector lever handle pressed. Shift lock solenoid is locking the selector lever.

  1. Brake pedal is being operated

Shift lock solenoid enables the selector lever. Selecting a driving mode must be possible with the button at shift handle pressed without "sticking".

Selector lever in position "D" , ignition and lights switched on

Move selector lever in Tiptronic gate. The "D" symbol must no longer be illuminated and "+" and "-" symbols must illuminate.

  1. Start engine and let run at idle
  2. Engage parking brake and operate brake pedal

The selector lever display in dash panel insert must change from "PRNDS" to "54321" when selector lever is moved in Tiptronic gate.

Note. The starter must not operate in the selector lever positions "D" , "S" and "R". For speeds exceeding 5 km/h and shifting into selector lever position "N" , the shift lock solenoid must not engage to lock the selector lever. Selector lever can be shifted into a driving mode. For speeds below 2 km/h (almost standstill) and shifting into selector lever position "N" , the shift lock solenoid must only engage after approx. 1 second. Selector lever can only be shifted out of position "N" with the brake pedal operated.

  1. Make sure bushings are correctly seated.

Note. If the bushings get stuck in the transmission housing, they must be removed and new bushings must be installed on the engine.

Transmission, disassembling and assembling

  1. Observe general repair instructions --> «Servicing notes»(/audi/a4/b6-2000-2006/remont/differentials-drive-axles/#5-speed-automatic-transmission-01v) .

Rules of cleanliness for working on automatic transmissions

  1. Thoroughly clean all connections and the surrounding area before disconnecting.
  2. Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover. Use foils and paper. Use lint-free cloths only!
  3. Carefully cover over opened components or seal, if repairs are not carried out immediately.
  4. Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation.
  1. Always replace O-rings, gaskets and sealing rings.
  2. Lightly lubricate O-rings before installing, this prevents the rings from being pinched when inserting.
  3. Use only ATF in areas near ATF. Other lubricating substances cause functional problems in the hydraulic transmission control.
  4. Check the following fluid levels after installing, top off if necessary.

  1. Remove bolts (arrows) at intermediate flange for front final drive.
CAUTIONSlowly and carefully remove cover for front final drive/intermediate flange from transmission housing. The spur gears can otherwise fall out of the transmission. Do not reinstall spur gears that have fallen to the ground. The transmission must be swapped in this case.
  1. Lift off cover i.e. intermediate flange for front final drive.

Note. Do not remove spur gears for front final drive. Secure spur gears so they do not fall out. If the spur gears for front final drive were removed, the wheel marking must face outward (away from transmission) for re installation.

Installation is reverse of removal, noting the following

Scheme 999

Scheme 999: Installing
  1. Make sure centering sleeve - A - is correctly seated before installing.
  2. Install gasket
  3. Set on cover i.e. intermediate flange for front final drive.

Note. If installing the intermediate flange to the output shaft carelessly, the sealing lips of the sealing ring can be damaged.
