Checking ATF Level in Tiptronic
Transmission.
Maintaining the correct level of automatic trans-
mission fluid is extremely important for both the
efficiency and the service life of transmissions.
The level can be seen from the transparent ex-
pansion tank at the rear end of the transmission
housing. With the transmission at operating tem-
perature, the fluid level must be between the
minimum and maximum marks.
For checking, the car must be level. Move the
selector lever to position "N" and let the engine
idle.
If the transmission has been accidentally over-
filled with fluid, this should be drained off imme-
diately.
If there is no transmission fluid in the trans-
mission, the engine should not be started, and
nor should the car be towed.
