ATF, Filling for ATF Flush

ATF, Filling for ATF Flush

CAUTION!
• The multitronic 01J transmission requires a different ATF than shift automatics. Only ATF for CVT transmission which can be obtained as replacement part must be used.

• Do not allow engine to run without filling ATF and do not tow the vehicle.

• Vehicle on a flat surface

• The illustration on the reservoir for ATF filler system F/CVT transmission (VAS 5162) in upper left graphic refers to the use of special ATF for CVT transmissions.





• In addition, the necessary work steps for filling are illustrated, which are described as follows:

- Secure filled reservoir of ATF filler system F/CVT transmission (VAS 5162) as high as possible on the vehicle.





• The shut-off valve on the ATF filler system F/CVT transmission (VAS 5162) must be closed.

CAUTION!
• Engine must not be started if only a small amount or no ATF is in the transmission after repair work or after significant ATF loss.

• In this case, a preliminary filling with 4.5 to 5 liters ATF must be performed.

- Place used oil collection and extraction device ( V.A.G 1782) under the transmission.

- Remove ATF inspection plug - B -.





- Thread connection on shut-off valve of ATF filler system F/CVT transmission (VAS 5162) into opening of ATF inspection plug - B -.

- Rotate shut-off valve in direction of filler hose - lower arrow -. ATF flows into transmission.





- Fill transmission with 5 Liter ATF.

- Selector lever in "P", start engine and let it run at idle.

CAUTION!
Let engine run at high speed at "2500 - -3000 RPM" for approximately 4 to 5 seconds immediately after starting.

Running the engine at high speeds is necessary so that the ATF pump is bled after a transmission repair.

If running at high speeds is not performed, the transmission can be damaged.

- Start engine

- By pressing the gas pedal, run engine at high speed at "2500 - 3000 RPM" for approximately 5 seconds.

- Press brake pedal and hold.

- Shift through all selector lever positions "P, R, N, D, S " and let each position remain shifted at idle for approximately 2 seconds.

- Selector lever in "P" and let engine continue to run at idle.

- Thread connection on shut-off valve of ATF filler system F/CVT transmission (VAS 5162) from ATF inspection plug opening- B -.





- Allow excess ATF to drain off.

- Install ATF inspection plug - B -.
