Safety notes Easytronic (M20 MTA)

Important:   Except for General Risk Notes and Safety Instructions, the following safety notes must be observed for Easytronic M20 MTA!

  • The lines for the high pressure system are under very high pressures (up to 75 bar). Therefore before opening or before any work on the high pressure system, it must be ensured that the high pressure lines of the MTA system are no longer under pressure.
  • The pressure in the high pressure system can only be relieved via Tech 2. The instructions in the diagnostic tester must be followed. If the precise order of the individual steps in Tech 2 is not followed, under certain circumstances system pressure can build up again.
  • If communication problems arise between the diagnostic tester and the Easytronic electronic control unit, or if the pressure sensor of the MTA system is faulty, it is not possible to reduce the system pressure of the MTA system with Tech 2. In this case the complete MTA system must be replaced with the gearbox removed. In no case may the pressure lines of the MTA system be opened and hence individual components repaired or replaced.
  • Before opening high pressure lines, wear safety goggles.
  • If the complete MTA system is replaced, before attaching and removing the MTA system, the retaining bracket supplied with the new part must be attached to avoid distortion or damage of the hydraulic lines. The old part must be returned with the retaining bracket attached.
  • To avoid damage to the clutch hydraulic system, this must not come into contact with the hydraulic fluid of the MTA system.
  • Before repairs on the M20-6 MTA transmission, always carry out a test with the diagnostic tester in connection with the relevant test instructions necessary for the transmission concerned.
  • Before removing parts of the hydraulic system, the connecting points and their environment must be cleaned carefully. After releasing the hydraulic lines, these must be securely sealed with the corresponding special tool.
  • Carry out a leak test after all intervention in the high pressure system.
  • If a repair is not performed or finished immediately, opened components must be closed or carefully covered.
  • When refitting or installing components of the high pressure system, the existing seals must be replaced (e.g. shift module).
  • After repair work on the M20-6 MTA system, follow the "Required commissioning routines for Easytronic (M20 MTA)". LUREF_1.gif
  • Lines must not be opened or detached with the engine running.
  • When the Easytronic electronic control unit is changed, special tools must be used, see catalogue "Special Tools".
  • The return line from the shift module to CS Speed hydraulic oil reservoir must be replaced after each separation.
  • All pressure lines must be tightened to the specified torque.
