Attention. If transmission oil leaks were found during inspection of the transmission, the transmission may be defective.
1. Raise the car on a lift.
2. Place a container under the transmission oil pan to collect the transmission oil.
3. Unscrew the drain plug of the automatic transmission, shown in the figure below by the arrow.
4. Drain all gear oil from the gearbox into a container prepared in advance.
5. Install and tighten the drain plug with a tightening torque of 30 Nm as shown in the figure below.
Note. Fresh gear oil is poured through the vent hole.
Note. If work is carried out on the gearbox in the engine compartment, then to access the ventilation breather, it is necessary to remove the air filter housing or the battery together with the base plate.
6. Remove the air filter assembly (see the relevant section in the chapter Intake and exhaust system).
7. Remove the battery and battery support plate (see the relevant section in chapter Engine electrical equipment).
8. Remove the plug from the transmission breather as shown in the figure below.
9. Install a special adapter (VAS 6262/4) to the gearbox breather. Connect a special pipe to the adapter (VAS 6262A), as shown in the figure below.
Note.
- There is no way to check the gear oil level in the gearbox.
- The amount of gear oil to be filled must be exactly observed.
- Too little or too much gear oil will impair transmission performance.
- Before filling the transmission, the transmission fluid container must be shaken several times.
10. Screw a special adapter onto the container with gear oil (VAS6262/6), as shown in the figure below. Then connect the container to the hose.
11. Pour 1.7 liters of gear oil into the gearbox.
Note. There is no way to check the gear oil level in this gearbox.
12. After filling the gearbox with fresh gear oil, remove the adapter from the gearbox breather.
Note. Clean adjacent surfaces with a clean cloth.
13. Install the cap on the breather.
14. Install support and battery assembly (see the relevant section in chapter Engine electrical equipment).
15. Install the air filter housing assembly.
