Quick Release Coupling Seal Kit
Replace the seals using the seal kit if there are leaks at the quick release coupling and the clip is overstretched.
The clamp -item 7- and the seals -items 5 and 6- (in the TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER OVERVIEW ) for sealing the quick release couplings are included in the seal kit.
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Trim Removal Wedge 3409
- Drip Tray for VAS 6100 VAS 6208
- Circlip pliers
, Removing
- The supply and return lines are removed from the connection on the transmission fluid cooler. Refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER OVERVIEW
-- Open the clip -A- and remove it from the coupling.
-- Pry the seals -1 and 2- out of the groove.
Only pry the seals out of the fitting with plastic tools, for example the trim removal wedge 3409. Do not use a screwdriver. It could cause leaks.
Installing
-- Coat the seal -1- with transmission fluid and insert it in the groove by hand.
-- Coat the seal -2- with transmission fluid and carefully slide it on as far as the stop. Make sure the seal does not turn inside out.
The clip is installed next. Follow the description exactly to avoid overstretching the clip.
-- Spread the clip a maximum -a- of 16 mm and place it on the coupling.
The guide -arrow- faces the connection -2-.
-- Connect the supply and return lines to the connections on the transmission fluid cooler
When connecting, the clip engages audibly with a "click" in the groove on the connection -1-.
-- Make sure the clip is seated correctly.
The clip must be seated completely in the groove on the coupling -2- and the connection -1-. Dimension -a- should be a maximum of 5 mm.
If the dimension is greater than 5 mm, the clip was overstretched and it must be replaced.
Do not bend the clip together. Otherwise the coupling could loosen later and transmission fluid could leak out.
-- Check the transmission fluid level and add if necessary. Refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL, CHECKING AND ADDING .
