A3 L4-2.0L Turbo (CBFA) (2008)
The transmission fluid present in the overflow tube -arrow 2- drains out first.
Note:
^
Even with a low fluid level, a small amount of transmission fluid will leak out of the overflow tube, because it becomes filled during operation.
-
Check whether overflow tube is screwed in the transmission to 3 Nm, tighten if necessary.
Note:
^
If the overflow tube is not properly fastened, the correct fluid level cannot be determined.
-
Allow the excess transmission fluid to drain off.
The transmission fluid level is correct if a small amount of fluid drips out when the transmission fluid temperature is between 35 degree C
and 45 degree C (this occurs as the fluid expands via heating up).
In this case, no transmission fluid must be added; the fluid level is OK.
Note:
^
Every 30 seconds, a small wave of fluid exits the oil level tube, independent of the height of the oil level (Reason: Cool oil impulse to clutch.)
This wave is not criteria indicating an excessive fluid level and must therefore not be considered when determining the fluid level.
^
The discharged transmission fluid must not be filled in again or be re-used. Ensure proper disposal of fluid.
If no fluid leaks escapes with transmission fluid temperature between 35 degree C and 45 degree C, add transmission fluid Transmission
Fluid, Filling.
Continuation for correct transmission fluid level:
-
Always replace seal -arrow- of the inspection plug.
