Topping up ATF
   
–  With engine »running«, screw in adapter for filling oil -VAS 6262/2- hand-tight.
–  Shake oil bottles before opening them.
–  Before screwing adapter for oil filling -VAS 6262 A- onto oil bottle, take note of the notes regarding the breather pipe → Anchor.
–  Add 1 l of ATF.
–  Pull off adapter for oil filling -VAS 6262- at quick-release connection and check:
If ATF now flows out of hole in adapter:
ATF does not need topping up.
–  Drain ATF until it drips.
–  Fit new seal to plug and tighten to 27 Nm. This concludes the ATF check.
If no ATF drips out:
–  Add another litre → Chapter.
  WARNING
An ATF level which is too low or too high will impair the function of the gearbox. But if the gearbox was 2 litres low, it must be carefully inspected. There is probably a »major« leak.
