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 -.
