Installing
Installing
Installation of transmission is the reverse of removal. The following points must also be observed:
Before installing:
- Clean threads in drive shaft flange using a tap.
- Clean ATF lines.
- Insert torque converter in transmission.
- Make sure bushings are correctly seated.
Note: If the bushings get stuck in the transmission housing, they must be removed and new bushings must be installed on the engine.
For 4 cylinder engines (5 valve, turbo):
Item A = bushings
For 6 cylinder gasoline engines:
Item A = bushings
For 6 cylinder TDI engines
Item A = bushings
- Position 3282 transmission support.
Use 3282/19 adjustment plate to position the 3282 transmission support for Automatic Transmission 01V.
The symbols on the adjustment plate indicate the necessary mounts and the arrow points toward front of vehicle.
- Place transmission onto transmission support.
- Secure transmission on 3282 transmission support using bolt -A-.
- Move transmission into position between the lowered subframe and vehicle floor.
The subframe is lowered approximately 150 mm at rear for this step.
- Align transmission properly to engine.
- Press the lever/shift rod -2- at transmission completely toward rear (toward right in illustration) until park position is engaged.
- Shift selector lever into "P" and carefully press up ball head of selector lever cable on lever/shift rod -2- using a pair of pliers.
Note: Do not deform lever/shift rod when pressing up or else shifting cannot be precisely adjusted any more.
Note:
^ Place intermediate plate onto bushings.
^ Make sure that wires do not get pinched as transmission is docked at engine.
For 6 cylinder TDI engines
- Check whether brace -B- is still swung to side (arrow direction) before installing the transmission.
Continuation for all vehicles
- Install connecting bolts for engine/transmission.
Note: Some bolts also have a bracket or a Ground (GND) connection attached.
- Install multi-function Transmission Range (TR) switch -F1 25-.
- Slightly raise engine/transmission subframe at rear via VAG1383A hoist.
- Install remaining connecting bolts for engine/transmission.
- Install front exhaust pipes:
- Install subframe, observe tightening sequence and alignment with master bore hole.
- Only perform vehicle alignment if necessary.
- Install transmission supports at left and right with transmission bearing.
- Remove bolt -A- after transmission is bolted to engine.
- Apply corrosion protection to contact surface between bolt -A- and oil pan.
- Bolt together torque converter and clutch disc with special tool V175.
- Install starter.
- Install ATF lines to engine/transmission subframe.
- Install bracket for ATF - line.
- Slightly raise engine/transmission subframe at rear via VAG1 383A hoist.
- Bolt in engine speed (RPM) sensor -G28 (arrow -B-) at front left of transmission (if installed).
- Connect connector for speedometer Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).
- Bolt drive axles to transmission flanges.
- Bolt in bolts at mounting bracket of selector lever cable, install selector lever cable and if necessary, adjust.
- Connect connector of multi-function Transmission Range (TR) switch -1-.
- Connect connector for transmission wiring harness and secure using securing lever-2-.
- Install heat shield/selector lever cable
All-wheel-drive vehicles
- Bolt drive shaft to transmission transmission flange.
- Bolt in heat shield for drive shaft on cover for Torsen differential (arrows) if installed.
Continuation for all vehicles

- Install Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) in front exhaust pipe (left and right).
- Install upper part of air filter housing -5-.
- Install intake air duct -4- on intake manifold.
- Connect connector for Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister purge regulator valve -2-, install valve on bracket. Connect connector -3- at Mass Air Flow (MAP) sensor.
- Install air guide -1- between air filter housing and lock carrier.
- Install covers above strut tower and air filter housing.
- Bolt in coolant expansion tank.
- Install engine cover.
- After connecting battery, enter anti-theft code for radio.
- Check adjustment of selector lever cable.
- Check transmission fluid in final drive with transmission installed.
- Then check ATF level and top off.
