Tools
Checking ATF
NOTE: The stipulated fluid level is extremely important for perfect functioning of the automatic transmission. It is correct if there is a slight amount of
ATF escaping at the control screw bore -B- at temperatures between 30 degrees C and 40 degrees C.
Testing conditions:
-
The transmission must not be in the reduced driving program.
-
The ATF temperature must be between 30 degrees C and 40 degrees C. An ATC inspection at an insufficient ATF temperature causes
over-filling and an inspection at an excessive ATF temperature causes insufficient filling.
-
Selector lever in position "P" and engine idling.
-
The air-conditioning system and the heater must be switched off.
-
The vehicle must stand horizontally.
1. Place oil collection pan under the transmission
2. Connect the Porsche System Tester 2 and call up the ATF temperature.
NOTE: The ATF temperature must not be higher than 40 degrees C at the start of the test.
3. Move selector lever to position "P" and allow engine to idle.
