Transmission Fluid, Filling
- The overflow pipe must be removed two turns.
-- If no gear oil leaks out at the overflow tube between 35 and 45 °C (95 to 113 °F), fill gear oil as follows.
-- Shake the container before opening.
-- Install the container for the dual clutch transmission oil on the Oil Filler:VAS 6262 A .
- Use the Oil Filler - Adapter 6:VAS 6262/6 if the container thread does not fit on the Adapter For Oil Filling:VAS 6262A .
-- Install the Adapter For Oil Filling:VAS 6262 A into the opening for the check plug -arrow 1- hand-tight.
-- Hold the container with the Oil Filler:VAS 6262A as high as possible over the dual-clutch transmission and allow the transmission fluid to flow into the dual clutch transmission.
-- To check if the DSG transmission is sufficiently filled, disconnect the quick-release coupling on the Oil Filler:VAS 6262A at regular intervals and seal the hose with a finger or a clean plug.
- The collected transmission fluid runs out of the overflow pipe -arrow 2-.
- Some oil always runs our regardless of transmission fluid level.
- If some transmission fluid still leaks out at a transmission fluid temperature between 35 and 45 °C (95 to 113 °F) (due to additional warming), the transmission fluid level is OK.
- Regardless of the gear oil level, a small wave of fluid comes out of the overflow tube every 30 seconds due to the multi-plate clutch cooling oil pulse. This procedure is irrelevant for checking the transmission fluid level.
- Leaked gear oil must not be reused.
- Monitor the transmission fluid temperature on the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester while filling the transmission fluid. If 45 °C (113 °F) is exceeded, cancel procedure and let transmission cool.
-- If the transmission fluid level is OK, perform the final procedures. Refer to Final Procedures .
