Remove
If present: Remove lower engine compartment cover – see
operation "Lower Engine Compartment Cover, Remove and Install" in
group "A".
Note: In doing so
ensure that the production transmission fluid level can always be
below the checking aperture – up to 16 mm. The transmission
fluid level need only be checked after repairs or maintenance work
on the transmission and corrected if necessary.
Inspect
Remove fluid checking bolt: For F13/F13+ and F17/F17+ –
inspection aperture to left rear in direction of travel (II); for
F18 – inspection aperture to right rear in direction of
travel (I). Check transmission fluid level – transmission
must be topped up to lower edge of inspection aperture.
If necessary: Remove reversing lamp switch (1) and charge
transmission fluid until it escapes at checking aperture.
Install
Attach fluid drain plug to transmission – tightening
torque 4 Nm / 3 lbf. ft. + 45° to 135°. Attach reversing
lamp switch with new seal ring to transmission – tightening
torque 20 Nm / 15 lbf. ft.
If present: Install lower engine compartment cover – see
operation "Lower Engine Compartment Cover, Remove and Install" in
group "A".
