Checking and correcting ATF level
Checking and correcting ATF level
  Note!
t  The ATF level is checked at the ATF inspection plug.
t  The ATF level is correct, if - when ATF temperature is between 35° and 45° C (50° C for countries with hot climate) - a small amount of fluid comes out at the ATF inspection plug (caused by the rise in fluid level due to fluid heating up).
–  Fill ATF charging device -V.A.G 1924- with the ATF for the automatic gearbox 09G.
  Caution
The ATF charging device must be clean and the ATF must not be mixed with other types of ATF!
   
–  Secure reservoir for ATF charging device -V.A.G 1924- as high as possible on vehicle.
–  Drive vehicle onto a four-column lifting platform or over an inspection pit in order for it to be absolutely horizontal.

–  Place drip tray -V.A.G 1306- under the gearbox.
  Caution

t  Fan may switch on automatically.

ATF in overflow pipe -arrow 2- will drain off first.
If ATF continues to come out through ATF inspection opening via overflow pipe before ATF has reached a temperature of 40°C, the ATF level is OK.
–  Fit new seal on ATF inspection plug -arrow 1- and tighten to 27 Nm. The ATF check is now completed.
  Note!
ATF inspection plug must be screwed in again at the latest when ATF reaches temperature of 45°C (countries with hot climates: 50°C).
If still no ATF emerges from ATF inspection opening when ATF has reached 45°C, top up with ATF → Chapter.
–  End function “08 - Read data block (measured value block)” by touching ← key.
–  Press “06 - End output”.
