TT Quattro Coupe V6-3.2L (BHE) (2005)
-
When gear oil has reached a temperature of 35°C, unscrew oil inspection plug - B -.
Note: The inspection plug is located next to the pendulum support. The gear oil will drain off completely if the drain plug - A - is opened.
Gear oil in overflow pipe - arrow2 - will drain off first.
Note: Even when the gear oil level is low a small amount of oil will first drain out of the overflow pipe, as it fills up during operation.
-
Check that overflow pipe is secured to transmission with a torque of 3 Nm. Tighten if necessary.
Note: If the overflow pipe is not correctly secured, the oil level cannot be correctly read.
-
Drain excess transmission oil.
The gear oil level is correct when a small amount of gear oil still drains out when the oil temperature is between 35°C and 45°C (level rises due
to warming of oil).
In this case, the gear oil does not need to be topped-up; oil level is OK.
Note:
^
Every 30 seconds a small surge of oil will come out of the oil level pipe regardless of the oil level (cause: intermittent cooling oil supply to the
clutch). The surge is not to be considered a criteria for the correct oil level and should therefore be disregarded.
^
Gear oil that has drained off must not be refilled or reused. Dispose of the gear oil properly.

Replace seal - arrow - for gear oil inspection plug.
