Note:

Audi does not provide a method of checking the fluid level without the use of the above mentioned tools

Test requirements:

-

Transmission must not be in emergency running mode.

-

Vehicle on level ground.

-

Selector lever in "P", let engine run at idle.

-

A/C system and heating switched off.

-

ATF temperature must not be higher than 30°C at start of test, allow transmission to cool down if necessary.

Notes:
-

ATF level changes with ATF temperature.

-

Performing ATF level check when ATF temperature is too low causes overfilling.

-

Performing ATF level check when ATF temperature is too high causes insufficient filling.

-

Excess filling and insufficient filling both affect the function of the transmission.
