Skoda Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

Top up oil in angle gearbox Special tools and workshop equipment required t  Catch pan t  Filling device for Haldex coupling 2 e.g. -VAS 6291- or -VAS 6291A- The angle gearbox is screwed on laterally to the manual gearbox and equipped with its own closed oil supply. Oil specification → Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts. Precondition l  The angle gearbox must be in its installed position. –  Remove the sound dampening system → Body Work; Rep. gr.50. –  Position the catch pan under the angle gearbox.

–  If present, remove heat shield for drive shaft -arrows-.

Vehicles with auxiliary heating. –  On these vehicles, remove the coolant pipes -B- from the angle gearbox and the engine -arrow 2-.   Note t  In this case do not open the cooling system. t  Do not remove the right drive shaft -C- from the flange shaft of the gearbox. For all vehicles   Note Cover area under the oil filler plug with cloths. For topping up, use filling device for Haldex coupling 2, e.g. -VAS 6291- or -VAS 6291A-.

–  Lay hose of filling device for Haldex coupling 2 through the engine compartment.

–  On vehicles with particle filter -A-, guide the hose of the filling device for Haldex coupling 2 past the particle filter on the right.   Note

Cover the area below the oil filler plug -arrow- with a cloth. –  Unscrew the oil filler plug -arrow- in the angle gearbox.

–  Screw in adapter -A- up to the stop. –  Lock angular piece -B- with adapter -A-. The hose must not sag.

–  Ensure that the the valve -arrow- is closed. –  Screw oil reservoir -A- onto filling device- VAS 6291-. –  Now open valve -arrow- and hold oil reservoir as shown. –  Angle gearbox is now filled with oil. –  Raise the vehicle after several minutes.   Note

t  If the angle gearbox is correctly filled, oil flows out at the adapter -A-. t  If no oil flows out, lower the vehicle and continue the filling procedure. –  Raise vehicle. –  If oil flows out, place down oil reservoir (e.g on a tool car). One part of the excessive oil flows now back into the oil reservoir. –  If no more oil flows back, remove the filling device for Haldex coupling 2. To do so, press the catch peg in the -direction of arrow-. (Shown here on the adapter -VAS 6291/2-).

–  Make sure that there is still oil in the hose of the filling device for Haldex coupling 2. –  Unscrew adapter. –  Screw in original oil filler plug. –  Start engine, engage a gear and allow gearbox to rotate for about 2 minutes. –  Switch off engine and unscrew oil drain plug. –  If necessary pour in oil again up to lower edge of filler hole.

–  Insert new screw -arrow- and tighten to tightening torque. l  If oil gets onto the angle gearbox and other components, it must be thoroughly removed.

Vehicles with auxiliary heating. –  On these vehicles, fit the coolant pipes -B- onto the double screws at the angle gearbox and install on the engine -arrow 2-. For all vehicles –  Install heat shield -A- for drive shaft, if present -arrows 1-. –  Install the noise insulation → Body Work; Rep. gr.50.
