*******************************************
Prerequisites
Engine off.
Vehicle level, all supports in lifting platform at same height.
Noise insulation removed.
Selector lever in “P”.
Vehicle diagnostic tester is connected.
At start of work, oil temperature must not be above 45°C.
– Engine is stopped. Do not start engine!
– Remove oil drain plug -3-.
– Remove oil level pipe -1- and allow oil to run out.
– Renew oil seal -2-.
– Tighten oil level pipe -1- until finger tight. Observe screw-in depth.
The oil level pipe comes in different lengths and colours.
If the oil level pipe is renewed, it is essential that the correct oil level pipe for the gearbox is installed.
Do not install the oil level pipe from another gearbox! The oil level pipe determines the oil level in the gearbox. Fitting a different oil level pipe can result in the oil level in the gearbox being too high or too low.
The oil level pipe can break between the thread and the collar.
Check whether oil level pipe is seated deeply enough in its thread. Check dimension -A-: 12.4 +0.2 mm between end of oil level pipe and support of sealing plug.
Carefully turn oil level pipe further if necessary until dimension -A- is reached.
Remove oil drain plug -arrow- from mechatronic unit.
Note
A further approx. 1.2 litres of oil will run out.
Renew oil seal -arrow- of bolt.
– Fit new oil seal onto oil drain plug of mechatronic unit, screw in oil drain plug and tighten to specified torque.
Screw adapter -A- from adapter for filling oil -VAS 6262 A- hand-tight into inspection hole.
Shake bottles before opening.
– Replenish gear oil and observe correct fill volume
→ Chapter.
So that the oil can run out of the bottle and into the gearbox, hold the bottle upside down higher than the gearbox, with hose connected and tap open.
– To change bottle, shut off tap or hold adapter for filling oil -VAS 6262 A- higher than gearbox.
– Start engine.
– Depress brake pedal, select each selector lever position for about 3 seconds and then move lever back to »P«.
– Do not switch off engine.
– Leave engine running and bring gear oil temperature up to 40°C.
– Disconnect quick-release coupling of adapter for filling oil -VAS 6262 A- with engine running.
– Let surplus oil drain out.
– When oil has run out (when it begins only to drip), unscrew adapter for filling oil -VAS 6262 A-.
– Check oil level
