TORQUE CONVERTER, DRAINING
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Oil Collecting and Extracting Device V.A.G 1782
Procedure
Scheme 102
If the ATF becomes dirty due to shavings or during a major transmission overhaul, then the torque converter must be drained.
Extract the ATF from the torque converter using the V.A.G 1782.
Scheme 103
- There are different torque converters. Use the code letters to identify the torque converter -arrow-.
- Allocation torque converter/transmission, refer to «CODE LETTERS, TRANSMISSION ALLOCATIONS, RATIOS AND EQUIPMENT»(/audi/q5/i-2008-2012/remont/automatic-trans/#general-technical-data-automatic-transmission-0b6__code-letters-transmission-allocations-ratios-and) .
Scheme 104
- Torque Converter Removing and installing, refer to «TORQUE CONVERTER»(/audi/q5/i-2008-2012/remont/automatic-trans/#torque-converter-automatic-transmission-0b6)
- Transmission Housing
- Shaft Seal Torque converter shaft seal Removing and installing, refer to «TORQUE CONVERTER SHAFT SEAL»(/audi/q5/i-2008-2012/remont/automatic-trans/#torque-converter-automatic-transmission-0b6__torque-converter-shaft-seal)
- Bolt Replace Quantity: 6 Tightening specification and sequence, refer to «TRANSMISSION, INSTALLING»(/audi/q5/i-2008-2012/remont/automatic-trans/#controls-housing-automatic-transmission-0b6-awd__transmission-installing)
TORQUE CONVERTER, CHECKING
Check the torque converter hub -arrow- for wear grooves.
Scheme 105
Note. The torque converter must be replaced if it is damaged or faulty.
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Extractor T40176
- Engine and Transmission Holder VAS 6095
- Grease for clutch disc shaft splines G 000 100
Removing
Scheme 106
- Secure the transmission to the VAS 6095. Refer to «TRANSMISSION, SECURING IN ENGINE/TRANSMISSION HOLDER»(/audi/q5/i-2008-2012/remont/automatic-trans/#controls-housing-automatic-transmission-0b6-awd__transmission-securing-in-enginetransmission-holder) .
Remove the left flange shaft. Refer to LEFT FLANGE SHAFT .
Secure the T40176 to the torque converter -A- with the nut -B-.
Rotate the T40176 upward.
Scheme 107
Note. To prevent the torque converter from tilting, counter hold it underneath as illustrated. Ignore -arrow-.
Remove the torque converter from the input shaft -arrows- without tilting the converter.
Set the torque converter down carefully, for example on the workbench.
Installing
Scheme 108
Install in reverse order, paying attention to the following
Always clean the torque converter bell housing in the area where the differential is accessed -arrow A- and the shaft seal -arrow B-.
Note. Replace the shaft seal between the differential and transmission housing -arrow B- if it is damaged. Refer to FRONT FINAL DRIVE OVERVIEW .
Fill the space between the sealing and dust lip half way with sealing grease G 052 128 A1.
Clean the splines on the input shaft -2- and the torque converter, remove any corrosion and apply a very thin layer of clutch disc spline grease G 000 100 to the splines. Remove any excess grease.
Scheme 109
Slide the torque converter carefully onto the input shaft -arrow- using the T40176. Be careful not to tilt the converter when sliding it on.
Remove the T40176 from the torque converter -A-.
Remove the nut -B-.
Install the left flange shaft. Refer to LEFT FLANGE SHAFT .
TORQUE CONVERTER SHAFT SEAL
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Extractor Lever VW 681
- Thrust Piece T10137
Procedure
Scheme 110
Remove the torque converter. Refer to TORQUE CONVERTER .
Pry out the shaft seal using the VW 681.
Note. The illustration shows a different transmission.
Apply ATF to circumference and sealing lips of the shaft seal.
- Installed position: Open side of the shaft seal faces the transmission.
Install the shaft seal for the torque converter all the way onto the T10137.
