General Repair Information: Transmission

Always make sure that no dirt enters an "open" transmission. Dirt entering an open transmission can cause a malfunction especially with a "open" Mechatronic unit and/or oil pump.

• Do not run the engine and do not tow the vehicle if the transmission front cover is removed or if there is no Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG®) oil inside the transmission.
• Always clean the connecting points and the areas around them first, and then loosen them.
• When installing the transmission, make sure the alignment sleeves are correctly seated between the engine and transmission.
• Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them so that they do not get dirty. Use foil, paper or a lint free cloth.
• Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation.
• If the transmission is replaced, check the DSG® oil level and fill as necessary, refer to DSG® OIL LEVEL, CHECKING . For the correct capacity, refer to CAPACITIES .
