CHECKING FLUID LEVELS

CAUTIONOnly ATF available as replacement part may be used in automatic transmission 09G. Other oils cause faults and/or breakdown of transmission. See RECOMMENDED FLUIDS .
CAUTIONDO NOT start engine when there is very little or no ATF left in transmission following a repair or as a result of massive loss of ATF. Fill transmission first with 4.5-5.0 liters of ATF.

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.

  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. 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 (factory scan tool), or equivalent aftermarket scan tool, select diagnosis function "08-Read measured value block" from menu (1). (Scheme 40) Enter display group (maximum input value = 255). Enter "6" for "display group number 6" in zone "2", and confirm entry by pressing "Q" key. (Scheme 41) Read ATF temperature in display zone (1). (Scheme 42) Check ATF level once ATF temperature is 86° F (30° C).
  3. Raise and support vehicle. Ensure vehicle is level. Place drip tray (V.A.G. 1306) underneath transmission. Start engine and let idle. Once ATF temperature reaches 95° F (35° C), unscrew ATF inspection plug (A). see scheme 6
  4. ATF present in overflow pipe (arrow "2") will leak when inspection plug is removed. see scheme 8 If ATF drains from inspection hole before ATF has reached 104° F (40° C), ATF level is OK. Tighten ATF inspection plug with NEW seal to specification. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-170597-S13798279542005011200000).
  5. If no ATF emerges from inspection hole before ATF has reached 113° F (45° C), top off ATF.
  6. Remove sound insulation tray (arrows). see scheme 9
  7. Using Torx socket head (T55), remove filler plug (arrow). see scheme 11 Filler plug seal MUST always be replaced.
  8. Attach hook of filler system (V.A.G. 1924) in filler plug hole (arrow). see scheme 12 Top off ATF until ATF emerges via overflow pipe (arrow "2") from inspection hole. see scheme 8
  9. Install ATF inspection plug. Tighten ATF inspection plug to specification. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-170597-S13798279542005011200000). Install sound insulation tray.
  10. Once ATF level is OK, exit function "08 - Read measured value block" by pressing "left arrow" key. Switch ignition off and disconnect Data Link Connector.
