Note
The ATF temperature is read off at the ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic
♦
tester.
The ATF level changes with ATF temperature.
♦
Checking ATF level when ATF temperature is too low may re‐
♦
sult in over-filling.
Checking ATF level when ATF temperature is too high may
♦
result in under-filling.
Both over-filling as well as under-filling affect gearbox opera‐
♦
tion.
If contamination or a dark colour of the oil or water in the oil is
♦
noticed during a quality inspection, the oil must be changed ⇒
Gearbox 09G; Rep. gr. 37 . The oil must be clean and must
not contain any additives.
Only ATF available as spare part should be used in the auto‐
♦
matic gearbox 09G. Other oils can lead to functional problems
or to failure of the gearbox, part number ⇒ Electronic cata‐
logue of original parts .
When topping up with ATF, shake the oil reservoir thoroughly
♦
before opening.
The ATF level is checked at the ATF inspection plug.
♦
The ATF level is correct, if a small amount of fluid flows out at
♦
the ATF inspection plug when the ATF temperature is between
35° and 45 °C (in hot countries 50 °C) (caused by the increase
of the fluid level due to the heat).
– Run the vehicle on a four-column lift platform or over a work‐
shop pit, so that it will be kept absolutely horizontal.
– Remove the noise insulation.
– Position drip tray, e.g. -VAS 6208- under the gearbox.
WARNING
♦ When working close to the radiator, always keep an ade‐
quate distance from the radiator fan - risk of injury!
♦ The radiator fan can switch on automatically.
– Start engine and run in idle.
