DSG(R) Oil Level, Checking

DSG(R) Oil Level, Checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Torque Wrench (5-50 Nm) (V.A.G 1331)

• Used Oil Collecting and Extracting Device (V.A.G 1782)

• Vehicle Diagnostic Tester, for example, (VAS 5051)

• Drip Tray for VAS 6100 (VAS 6208)

• Adapter for Oil Filling (VAS 6262 A)

• Adapter for Filling ATF Oil (VAS 6262/2)

• Adapter for Oil Filling (VAS 6262/6) (Also for some oil containers)

Note the following information:

• Use the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG(R)) oil available as a replacement part. Refer to the Parts Catalog.

• The adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262/6) must also be used on some containers.






• It may be necessary to shorten the pipe on the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262 A).

Shorten the pipe on the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262 A) as follows:






- Shorten the pipe to 210 mm - a -. This assures the pipe on the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262 A) will not touch the bottom of some containers.

• Dimension - a - is measured starting from the green surface in the cap on the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262 A).

- Shorten the pipe using the pipe cutter (VAS 6056/2).






Requirements:

• The vehicle is level and all hoist supports are the same height.

• The noise insulation has been removed.

• The vehicle diagnostic tester is connected

• The oil should not be warmer than 45 °C (113 °F) when starting the procedure.

• Test temperature: 35-45 °C (95-113 °F)

Checking

- Connect the vehicle diagnostic tester and identify the vehicle in Guided Functions.

- Select DSG transmission.

- Select Check Fluid Level.

• Allow the transmission to cool down if the oil temperature is higher than 45 °C (113 °F).

The engine is idling and the selector lever is in the "P" position.

- Move the drip tray or the used oil collecting and extracting device (V.A.G 1782) under the transmission near the oil drain and check plug.

- Remove the oil drain and check plug - arrow -.






- Always replace the seal - arrow - on the plug.






• Even if the oil level is too low, at first a small amount of oil will leak out of the overflow tube, because it fills during operation.

- Allow the excess oil to drain.

- Install the plug with a new seal as soon as all the oil has drained out (it starts to drip).

- If no oil comes out, then fill with oil.

Filling

- Install the quick release coupling from the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262 A) into the plug hole hand tight.






- Shake the container before opening.

- Attach the container to the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262 A). Be sure to read the instructions.

- Connect the oil filler adapter (VAS 6262) to the quick release coupling.

- Fill with 1 liter of oil.

If oil leaks out of the hole:

The oil must not be topped off.

- Allow the excess oil to drain.

- As soon as the oil has run out (it begins to drip), remove the adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262 A) and install the plug with a new seal.

If no oil leaks out of the hole:

- Add another liter of oil. Refer to => [ DSG(R) Oil Level, Checking ] DSG(R) Oil Level, Checking.

Too little or too much DSG(R) oil will impair the transmission.

Oil drain and check plug tightening specification: 45 Nm
