[neil ratcliffe]

hi folks iam going to do an oil change on my gearbox. as dont know when it was last done if every. what oil do i need to get? do i need to get a filter also. and how do you fill it up and check the level.
thanks all.

Does the oil spec get a mention in your handbooks ?

 

[neil ratcliffe]

hi mate i havent checked that yet. just thought i would see if you guys could help.

 

[Gazwould]

Look for it and tell and then I can help .

 

[Visa_broke]

what engine?

 

[neil ratcliffe]

gazwould the handbook dosent tell me anything about the transmission oil only the engine. and visa broke it is a 2 litre non fsi

 

[Gazwould]

Phone Audi and get the part number along with the comedy price and post up .

 

[neil ratcliffe]

hi mate the idea is not to phone audi. that is why iam trying to find out what oil is needed and get it from another source.

Does it not need to have a special sump tool to drain and then pumped back in, similar to my 2.5 tdi multi Tropic?

 

[neil ratcliffe]

it needs a 16mm multi hex for the drain and a 10mm hex key to fill it.

hi friends ive managed to get the oil for the tansmission. ive seen that there is a level plug on the side near the drive shafts. how do i know when the tranny is at the correct level.

Just done this on mine, 1.9tdi cvt (i presume its the same box)
Jack up car so you can get under it, but keep the car level.
Drain fluid from the triple hex plug and put plug back.
Pump oil in through the other plug on the bottom, a little more than you have taken out.
Use vagcom to monitor trans oil temp now
Start car and allow gearbox oil to heat to 35 deg and open the fill plug, a little oil will come out. If it carries on dripping out, then you are done. If it totally stops, then you need more oil

Something along that lines if its a 01j box
Google it, there are very in depths guides to do it

 

[vmlopes]

How did u pump it in?

Using one of those. One end in bottle, other in gearbox

 

[neil ratcliffe]

did mine in my mate workshop. oil was very cheap only £9 a litre. and did mine the same way buddy.

 

[vmlopes]

Did u guys change the pan and filters or just drop the oil?

 

[neil ratcliffe]

i just changed the oil. wasnt sure where the filter is located.

Bit about changing filter in the box here;

Not sure if same box, interesting anyway!

 

[vmlopes]

i just changed the oil. wasnt sure where the filter is located.

Seems a little pointless if your not changing the pan magnet filters?

 

[neil ratcliffe]

that looks like a diffrent box to what i have in mine. as iam new to this car i wasnt sure where the filter is located so that is why i didnt do them. but they will be done on the next oil change.
