Filling up with ATF (for ATF purging procedure) Special tools and workshop equipment required

t  Used oil collection and extraction unit -V.A.G 1782-

t  ATF charging device for CVT gearboxes -VAS 5162-

Preparations: l  ATF drained   Caution Risk of damage to gearbox t  Only the ATF available as a replacement part for the „multitronic 0AW“ gearbox may be used. t  Other, non-approved types of ATF or other oils cause malfunctions and/or failure of the gearbox. t  For the correct type, refer to → Electronic parts catalogue. t  The ATF charging device must be clean and the ATF must not be mixed with other types of ATF!   Note t  The illustration on the reservoir of the ATF charging device for CVT gearboxes -VAS 5162- displays a warning in the top left corner to use ONLY the ATF specially formulated for CVT gearboxes. t  The illustration also shows the steps to follow when filling up; these are also described below.

Procedure –  Fill ATF charging device for CVT gearboxes -VAS 5162- with ATF for „multitronic 0AW“ gearbox. –  Secure filled reservoir for ATF charging device as high as possible on vehicle. l  The stopcock on ATF charging device for CVT gearboxes -VAS 5162- must be closed.   Caution Risk of damage to gearbox t  The engine must not be started when the ATF has been partly or completely drained from the gearbox. t  In this case you need to fill the gearbox first with 5.5 … 6 litres of ATF.

–  Remove O-ring -1- at connection -2- on ATF charging device for CVT gearboxes -VAS 5162-.   Caution There is a risk of filling the gearbox incorrectly. t  The connection -2- must be screwed hand-tight all the way into the inspection hole on the gearbox with the O-ring removed. t  The O-ring must be removed at the connection -2- so that the fluid level pipe in the inspection hole can be pressed into the upper position. t  Only then can the ATF level be checked and topped up correctly.

–  With O-ring removed, screw connection of ATF charging device for CVT gearboxes -VAS 5162- hand-tight all the way into threaded hole for ATF inspection plug.   Note This will push the fluid level pipe into the correct installation position. –  Turn stopcock in direction of filling hose -lower arrow-. ATF flows into gearbox. –  Fill gearbox with at least 5.5 … 6 ltr. of fresh ATF. –  Shift selector lever into position „P“.   Caution Rev engine up to approx. 2500 rpm immediately after starting. t  The engine must be revved up to vent air from the ATF pump after performing repairs on the gearbox. t  If the engine is not revved up, the pump will run briefly without ATF and may be damaged. –  Start engine. –  Press accelerator pedal to rev engine briefly up to 2500 rpm. –  Press and hold brake pedal. –  Shift through all selector lever positions „P, R, N, D, S“ and leave for approx. two seconds in each position with engine running at idling speed. –  Move selector lever to position „P“ and allow engine to continue running at idling speed. –  Unscrew connecting piece on stopcock of ATF charging device for CVT gearboxes -VAS 5162- from opening for ATF inspection plug. –  Allow excess ATF to drain off. –  Tighten old ATF inspection plug again. l  Tightening torque: 30 Nm –  Continue ATF purging procedure → Anchor. –  After second filling: Check ATF level and top up → multitronic 0AW, front-wheel drive; Rep. gr.37.   Note Observe all notes and test requirements for „Checking and correcting ATF level“.
