Gear Oil Level In Front Final Drive, Checking



Gear oil level in front final drive, checking - 01J, Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)

Note:
^ The specified oil level must be maintained exactly, the transmission reacts very sensitively to overfilling.

Test sequence

- Take vehicle for a short test drive to heat gear oil to approx. 60 degrees C.
- Move vehicle onto a lifting platform or over a work pit so that it is absolutely level.
- Switch off engine and allow 5 minutes for gear oil to settle back into transmission case.





- Loosen quick-release screws - 2 - and - 3 - and remove rear noise insulation.





- If installed, remove bolt - 1 - for noise insulation cover over left drive axle.
- Disengage hook - 2 - and remove noise insulation cover.





- Remove inspection plug - arrow -.
- Check oil level using a tool created in the workshop, e.g. an angled section of wire.

^ Specified value: Oil level 8.5 mm below bottom of filler hole.

- If necessary, top off gear oil level.

^ Axle oil specification.

Note:
^ When servicing at the workshop the oil can also be filled up to the lower edge of the oil filler hole. In this case it is necessary to draw off 0.2 ltr. to attain the correct oil level.

- Tighten new screw plug.
