multitronic 01J, front-wheel drive - Edition 11.2007
Note
The illustration on the reservoir of the ATF charging device for
♦
CVT gearboxes -VAS 5162- displays a warning in the top left
corner to use ONLY the ATF specially formulated for CVT
gearboxes.
The illustration also shows the steps to follow when filling up;
♦
these are also described below.
Caution
♦ The engine must not be started if only a little or no ATF
remains in gearbox after repair work or after excessive
ATF leakage.
♦ In this case you need to fill the gearbox first with 4.5 ... 5
litres of ATF.
Test conditions
• Gearbox must not be in emergency running (backup) mode.
• Vehicle must be level (horizontal).
• Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS 5051
A- connected; vehicle self-diagnosis and vehicle system "02 -
Gearbox electronics" selected.
• Engine idling.
• The air-conditioner and heating system must be switched off.
• The ATF temperature at the beginning of the test must not be
higher than 30°C. If necessary, first allow the gearbox to cool
down.
Note
The ATF level will vary according to the ATF temperature.
♦
If the ATF level is checked when the ATF temperature is too
♦
low, this will result in overfilling.
If the level is checked when the ATF temperature is too high,
♦
this will result in underfilling.
Both overfilling and underfilling will impair the function of the
♦
gearbox.
The ATF temperature is taken from the reading on the vehicle
♦
diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS 5051 A- .
