Check / replacement of level of oil in an automatic transmission

1 - screw-threaded plug, 2 - bypass (drain) pipe in the oil sump, 3 - plug (plug) 4 - protective cap

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Place the vehicle on a lift in a horizontal position. 2. Remove the bottom mudguard of the engine. 3. Place a suitable container under the oil pan of an automatic transmission. 4. Remove the screw (1) check the oil level, and then use the hex wrench and drain (overflow) pipe (2) from the oil pan (see. Fig. Checking the oil level in an automatic transmission). Wait until all the oil is drained from the gearbox. A warning Do not run and do not tow the car without oil in an automatic transmission. 5. Screw the drain (overflow) tube (2) all the way into the oil pan. 6. Use a screwdriver to remove the protective cap located on the filler pipe, thus there will be its destruction. Remove the plug. 7. Please fill in the gearbox through the oil filler tube of 3.0 liters of new oil. 8. Set the selector lever to position "P", start the engine and let it run at idle. 9. With the engine idling, press the brake and move the selector lever to all positions (P, N, R, 3,2,1) with a delay at each position for 2-3 seconds. 10. Check the oil level in the gearbox and, if necessary, correct it. 11. When the required level of the oil, replace the cap and close the protective cap. 12. Establish the bottom mudguard of the engine.

1 - a bolt; 2 - screw-threaded plug; 3 - oil; 4 - valve stem seal

Typically, the level of oil in an automatic transmission remains constant, if not visually evident leaks. In this case there is no need to check the oil level.

When checking the oil level is necessary to use protective glasses. It is also necessary to install the new seal threaded plug. For topping-up is necessary to use a curved syringe fitting.

When checking the level, transmission oil temperature must be below 40 ?� C. This temperature is reached in a short time after starting the engine. To determine the necessary connector to connect diagnostic equipment VW. Otherwise, the temperature can be determined only approximately.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Place the vehicle on a lift in a horizontal position. 2. Remove the bottom mudguard of the engine. 3. Set the selector lever of automatic transmission in position "P" and tighten a manual brake. 4. Start the engine during testing at idle. 5. At a temperature of an automatic transmission from +35 to +40 ?� C, unscrew the screw (2) in the oil sump gearbox (see. Fig. Checking the oil level in an automatic transmission). The oil level is normal, if there is a slight oil yield (suspended due to the rise in heating oil level). Otherwise, add oil through the hole for the screw plug. 6. Fill with fresh oil until the oil can until it comes out of the hole screw plug (2). A warning Injection oiler do not push up, as valve stem seal (4) may come off. Enter bend the syringe to fill the oil side hole valve stem seals. Bolt (1) do not unscrew. 7. Screw the plug (2) into place until a temperature of 45 ?� C and tighten its moment of 80 Nm.

Checking the oil

When checking the level of oil in an automatic transmission and check the condition of the oil. To simplify check the status of oil compare color, odor and viscosity of the oil with fresh oil.

If oil in a transmission dark or almost black with a burnt smell, then worn friction linings transmission.

If the oil in the gearbox has a milky color, it means it is exposed to water. This may occur when constant use of the car for short trips. If the color of the oil does not change after a long trip, you need to change the oil.

If the oil is dark brown and sticky, it could be due to overheating of the gearbox or the oil level is too high in the box. If replacement of oil does not work, the vehicle must be submitted to a specialized workshop VW.

When checking the oil level or changing the oil in an automatic box in oil there are particles of dirt or metal shavings, it is necessary to diagnose or repair of an automatic transmission to specialize Rowan service station VW.
