3.1 General Repair Information

The highest level of care and cleanliness along with tools that
function properly are required to ensure a proper and success‐
ful transmission repair. Of course the general safety precautions
also apply when carrying out repairs.
General information that applies to various different repair pro‐
cedures is listed here instead of repeating it multiple times
throughout the manual. They apply to this repair manual.
Tools
A complete list of special tools and workshop equipment used in
the repair manual can be found at the beginning of each repair
section and in the “Special Tools and Workshop Equipment”
folder.
Uncertainties often exist on smaller screws with lower tightening
specifications. For these bolts the -VAG1783- can be used.
Transmission
♦ Do not run the engine and do not tow the vehicle if the trans‐
mission fluid pan is removed or if there is no transmission
fluid inside the transmission.
♦ Thoroughly clean the connection points and the area around
them first, and then loosen them.
♦ When installing the transmission, make sure the alignment
sleeves are seated correctly between the engine and the
transmission.
♦ Place the removed parts on a clean surface and cover them
so that they do not become contaminated. Use foil and pa‐
per. Only use lint-free cloths.
♦ Only install clean parts: remove the replacement parts from
their packaging just before installing them.
♦ Carefully cover or seal opened components if repairs are not
performed immediately.
♦ When the transmission is removed, secure the torque con‐
verter so that it cannot fall out.
♦ After installing, check the ATF level and fill. Refer to ⇒
D2.2 raining and Filling”, page 34 .

♦ Capacities. Refer to ⇒ 4.2 , page 7 .

Guided Fault Finding, OBD and Test Instruments
Before beginning any repair work on the automatic transmis‐

sion, determine the cause of the damage using “Guided Fault
Finding”.
Perform Guided Fault Finding using, for example the Vehi‐
cle Diagnostic Tester.
3.2 Seals and Gaskets

O-rings, Seals, Gaskets and Oil
♦ Always replace the O-rings, gaskets and seals.
♦ After removing gaskets and seals, examine the contact sur‐
face on housing or shaft for burrs resulting from removal or
for other signs of damage.
♦ Coat the O-rings with ATF before inserting to prevent the
rings from being crushed during assembly.
♦ Only use ATF. Other lubricants cause malfunctions in the
hydraulic transmission control.
♦ Lightly coat the seals with ATF along the outer circumfer‐
ence and on the sealing lip -arrow-.
♦ The open side of the seals faces the oil.
3. Repair Information 5
3.3 Bolts and Nuts
♦ Loosen and tighten the bolts and nuts on the covers or hous‐
ings in a diagonal sequence.
♦ The tightening specifications given, apply to un-oiled bolts
and nuts.
♦ Use a wire brush to clean the threads of the bolts that were
installed with locking fluid. Install the bolts with Locking Fluid
-AMV 185 101 A1-.
♦ The threaded holes in which the self-locking bolts or bolts
coated with locking fluid were installed must be cleaned (for
example, with a thread tap). Otherwise there is the risk that
the bolts could break off when they are removed again.
♦ Always replace self-locking bolts and nuts.
