ATF, CHECKING LEVEL AND CORRECTING
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System VAS 5051B
- Oil Collecting and Extracting Device V.A.G 1782
- ATF Filler Tool V.A.G 1924
- Protective goggles
Test Conditions
- The transmission must not be in the emergency running
- Move vehicle onto a four-pillar shop hoist or over a work pit so that it is absolutely horizontal.
- The selector level is in "P".
- The parking brake button should be activated to set the electromechanical parking brake.
- Exhaust hose/hoses of an exhaust extraction system connected.
- The Air conditioning (A/C) and the heater are off.
- The VAS 5051B is connected.
- The ATF temperature must not be higher than 30 °C (86 °F) at the beginning of the test. The transmission must cool down first, if necessary.
Note. ATF temperature appears in the display of the VAS 5051B. The ATF level will vary depending on the temperature of the ATF. It is possible to overfill the ATF if the level is checked when the temperature is too low. It is possible to underfill the ATF if the level is checked when the temperature is too high. Overfilling or underfilling will influence the function of the transmission.
Procedure
Select the following menu entries on the VAS 5051B in "function/component selection" in Guided Fault Finding
- "Drive "
- " 0B6-Transmission"
- "01 - On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capable systems"
- "02-transmission electronics"
- "02-Transmission electronics, functions"
- "02-Read measured value "
Select the measured value "transmission fluid temperature" on the VAS 5051B.
Check the ATF temperature.
ATF, Checking Level and Correcting
Note. The ATF level is checked at the ATF inspection plug. The ATF level is correct if a small amount of fluid drips out of the inspection opening (this is normal as the fluid expands as it heats up) at an ATF temperature between 35 °C and 45 °C (95 °F and 113 °F) (for hot countries 50 °C (122 °F)).
| CAUTION | There is a risk of damaging the transmission. Only use the ATF available as a replacement part for the automatic transmission 0B6. Using other fluids can cause malfunctions or transmission failure. For the correct allocation . The ATF filler tool must be clean and the ATF must not be mixed with any other oils. |
Fill the reservoir on the ATF filler system V.A.G 1924 with the ATF for the automatic transmission 0B6; for the correct ATF specification .
Secure reservoir of the V.A.G 1924 as high as possible on the vehicle.
| CAUTION | There is a risk of damaging the transmission. Engine must not be started if only a small amount or no ATF is in the transmission after repair work or after significant ATF loss. In this case, pre-filling is necessary, refer to ATF, DRAINING OR FILLING AFTER REPAIR . |

Note. The ATF inspection plug must be installed again before the ATF reaches a temperature of 45 °C (113 °F) (50 °C (122 °F) with hot climates).
Fasten the ATF inspection plug with new gasket -arrow- to 9 Nm. The ATF level test is now completed.
Scheme 42
Install the noise insulation. Refer to Description and Operation .
- If no ATF drips out of the ATF inspection opening when the temperature has reached 40 °C (104 °F)
Filling the ATF
Note. The ATF inspection plug must be installed again before the ATF reaches 45 °C (113 °F) (50°C (122 °F) for countries with hot climates). Let the transmission cool down and check again.
Guide the filler hook of V.A.G 1924 from underneath into an opening in the cap -arrow-.
Add ATF using V.A.G 1924 until ATF drips from the check hole.
Note. Too little or too much ATF will impair the transmission.
Fasten ATF inspection plug with new gasket -arrow- to 9 Nm. The ATF level test is now completed.
