Audi Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

Requirements for test:

• ● Vehicle in horizontal position.
• ● Gearbox not in emergency running mode.
• ● The ATF temperature must not be higher than 35 °C at the start of the test.
• ● Selector lever at position "P", engine idling.
• ● Air conditioner and heating switched off.

Note:

Use only ATF G 052 162 A (transparent and slightly yellow) for topping up. Do not use any additives.

Container sizes:

• ◆ 0.5 ltr. - Part No. G 052 162 A1
• ◆ 1.0 ltr. - Part No. G 052 162 A2
• ◆ 20 ltr. - Part No. G 052 162 A6

Notes:

• ◆ The ATF level will vary according to the temperature of the ATF.
• ◆ If the ATF level is checked when the ATF temperature is too low, this will result in overfilling.
• ◆ If the ATF level is checked when the ATF temperature is too high, this will result in underfilling.
• ◆ Overfilling or underfilling will impair the function of the gearbox.
• ◆ The ATF temperature can be checked usingvehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051.

Requirement for test:

• ● Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 connected, vehicle self-diagnosis mode activated and vehicle system "02 - gearbox electronics" selected.

=> Automatic gearbox 01N, Self-diagnosis; Repair group 01; Performing self-diagnosis

Test sequence

• ‒ Shift selector lever into "P" position and let engine idle.

→ Display on VAS 5051:

• ‒ Select diagnosis function "08 - Read data block" from the menu -1-.

→ Display on VAS 5051:

•     1 -    Enter display group

• ‒ Using the keypad -2-, enter "005" to select Display group 005 and confirm entry with Q button.

→ Display on VAS 5051:

• ‒ Check ATF temperature in display zone 1.

Notes:

• ◆ The ATF level is checked at the ATF inspection plug.
• ◆ If the ATF level is correct, a small amount of fluid will come out at the ATF inspection plug when ATF temperature is between 35°and 45°C1)(the fluid level will rise slightly as the temperature increases).

1)50°C for tropical countries

• ‒ → Secure reservoir of ATF filling system V.A.G 1924 at the highest possible point on the vehicle.
• ‒ Raise vehicle.
• ‒ Place container under the gearbox.

• ‒ → When the ATF has reached a temperature of 35°C, unscrew ATF inspection plug - arrow 1-.

→ At first the ATF present in the overflow pipe -arrow 2- will run out.

Note:

There is always a small amount of ATF in the overflow pipe. This should not be confused with the small quantity of ATF which will come out if the ATF level is correct.

• ‒ Check that the overflow pipe is screwed in all the way (2 Nm; 5 mm hexagon socket).

• ● If ATF comes out at the inspection plug before the ATF has reached a temperature of 40°C, the ATF level is correct.

Note:

The ATF inspection plug must be screwed in again before the ATF reaches a temperature of 45°C1).

1)50°C for tropical countries

• ‒ → Cut open seal -arrow- on plug using side-cutters. Fit new seal.
• ‒ Tighten plug to 15 Nm.

• ● If no ATF comes out at the inspection plug and the ATF has reached a temperature of 40°C, the ATF level is too low.

• ‒ → Lever off plug securing cap -arrow- with a screwdriver. The cap locking device will be destroyed, when doing this therefore always renew cap.
  
• ‒ Pull plug out of filler pipe.

• ‒ → Fill with ATF using V.A.G 1924, until ATF runs out of level hole -arrow-.

• ‒ → Cut open seal -arrow- on plug with side-cutters. Fit new seal.

• ‒ → Tighten plug -arrow 1- to 15 Nm.
• ‒ Fit plug on filler pipe and secure with a new cap -arrow 2-.
• ‒ Lock cap.

→ Display on VAS 5051:

• ‒ Press the ◂ button to exit from the function "08 - Read data block".
• ‒ Select diagnosis function "06 - End output".
• ‒ Switch off ignition and unplug the diagnostic connector.
