Hello, Thank you for a very good and precise explanation. I looked at several videos and nowhere is it described so well and in detail. Best regards from Slovenija
Just completed this job with you guiding me through. Was super nervous undertaking it but I replicated the exact same results as you and it only took me 3 hours!
Great video Dave. Crazy that the filters aren't easily accessible. Looks like you have been shopping in Nisbets. I have one of those folding catering trolleys and find it very handy.
I have a feeling that's an extra pump you run with vcds. You can hear it spinning up to 3000 rpm and when at 600 rpm the readings still show 3000. Could be a slight difference in the level vs just the engine running. Maybe worth testing if an extra drop come out when you turn that one off. Thanks for the video, got mine sorted this week.
I have the same Audi manual as you, that green cavity I think is where the S-Tronic transmission fluid is housed. That is the fluid that’s on a 40,000 mile schedule. Makes sense since the green area affects the rear drive shaft. All you changed is the fluid that affects the front wheel drive aspect of the Quattro system
This fluid change is for the automated gear change aspect of the dsg regardless of 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. There is no rear drive shaft on this car as it it front wheel drive only.
@@davesterlI’m pretty sure the MTF is considered as the S tronic fluid. The manual says you remove the mtf pump (4 bolts). Let it drain, and then fill from plug number 3 from your diagram.
be very careful if youre doing this yourself. The portion he just changed is the ATF cavity portion (should be blue in the diagram if you have one) that houses the mechatronics and clutches. (the green portion in the diagram) is the MTF cavity where it houses the gearsets and center diff. Dont confuse the two.
Thanks for the great video Dave! I have a 2018 Audi Q5 with the same gearbox and your video made things a lot easier! Have you done a service on the transfer case fluid & rear differential for these cars yet? Looking forward to more great videos! Thanks!
Hello I have a question and I would very much appreciate your opinion on this. I have recently bought an Audi A4 B9 2018 S-Tronic. I've managed to find that the gearbox oil was changed at 122 000 kilometers, car now has 208 000 , and I don't think there has been a gearbox oil change in the meantime, so it's overdue by 20 000 kilometeres, car shifts perfectly fine though so I assume it was driven very lightly and gearbox wasn't strained too much so it might be okay that it's a bit overdue I guess. From what I see when the gearbox oil was changed at 122 000, the filters have not been. My question now is should I also just go to the service and ask them to just drain the old fluid and put in new fluid, without any filter changes and without the "transmission flush" people talk about online. I'm afraid at it has done lots of mileage a flush would hurt it since some parts are probably worn out at this point. Thanks in advance !
I have Audi Tt 1.8 TFSI Mk2 8j 2014 last shape before it changed Noticed Gearbox never been serviced Audi say it’s a sealed unit and can’t service it Car has 84k Gearbox is smooth and working in good order Found a vw/Audi specialist say then can ? And should of been service at 40k But now I’ve got a gearbox service booked in Just wondering will this now jeopardise the box and make it bad or to make it to fail?
great video and detail, follows Audi manual very acturately. The only thing I have trouble with is opening the control plug to let out the overflow when at tempature. The accumalator is still active, shouldn't it have been turned off, or activated to the drain procedure?
Hello, In my country servicers told me only to change ATF oil for my s tronic and all mehanics told me that there is not another oil in my s tronic to change. Is there MTF in every s tronic because my car is audi a4 2017 and i would be happy to change it if is it possible
Thank you! I'm going to call around to get some quotes to do this but if its stupid expensive I'll do it myself with OBD11 (I checked and saw the oil pressure emptying option in Adaptations). Dumb question because I don't know what the inner workings are: Why is OK to level off the system while it's pressurized? Must be the design of the system that it wouldn't flow excessive amounts back out of the fill bung (and leave the proper 3 L inside)?
Great video. Presumably the engine is running when you are cycling and holding the gears after the fill? Stupid question - but it’s not clear to me. Thanks
yes, the engine is running when he is shifting and holding the gears. He also states at 25:11 that the shifting of the gears will assist in raising of the "ATF-temperature"
I have just had my gear box oil changed on mine ,it’s exactly the same car as that Audi , I was charged £365 is that about the right price ? Thanks in advance for any reply,
Hello, I did the same procedure as in this video but with obd11. Exactly 2.8l came out of the gearbox. I put in 3.5 liters of new oil, but in the end, after the procedure, it ended up with 2.8 liters in the gearbox. My gearbox threw out 0.7l at a temperature of 35c. I measured everything correctly. Is that a problem now? Should i add another 0.3l of oil? I looked at a couple of clips and everyone had 3.1l left after the 3.5l refill. Thank you very much in advance...
Hi Dave, first of all thanks a lot for the extensive video!! I HAVE A QUESTION: when you shift through the gears, do you also shift through the manual gears? So P, R, N, D, S and manual 1 till 7? And how many cycles did you do? Thanks in advance for your answer!
What's your recommendation Dave for Tiptronic 8-Speed? Dealer who sold me the car said leave it. Its a ZF gearbox and sealed for life, but I know ZF do a refresh kit including, oil, etc. It's a quattro too.
This video was great! I just bought a b9.5 and will be doing this soon. I have a question. You got about 3 liters out and aren't supposed to fill it with more than 3.5 liters; how come you aren't worried about .5 liters still being in there? Are you risking overfilling it to 4 liters?
Every time you change dsg oil you are supposed to drain the excess oil out. As you can see in the video he takes the filling tube off and there is some oil coming out as well. I'd say 0,2-0,4 litres. The oil level is correct when the oil is lightly flowing out of the filling plug when the oil temperature is between 35 and 45.
I visited the offical Audi service few months ago to do a 7 speed s tronic transmission service (oil and filter) for a4 b9 2016. and they replaced the oil. I asked if filter is replaced and they told me that it is not needed. Is this correct, and what should i do? Btw. everything works fine in this moment with the transmission.
my mechanic’s apprentice drained the gearbox oil instead of engine oil. they never depressurised the system. just added brand new oil. its driving perfectly fine, do you think i will have problems down the line? Thanks
I have an Audi a6 2007 with automatic transmission and it has leaked a bit of transmission fluid from it. It had a change in summer 2022, am I able to top it up if I take off the fill plug?
You’ll drain it if it’s an S tronic like in the video, however if you catch the fluid in a clean container and have a fluid pump like in the video you could top the gearbox up. However it’s pointless topping something up for it to leak out again if the leak hasn’t been repaired.
@@chadcarmedy2232 I know what you mean. It’s a very very small leak which I’m investigating, but want a method to use as stop gap so I can continue diving the car before getting it fixed properly if I can
To anyone watching this wondering if you need to disable the valve thing , the answer is NO . Hell even Audi mechanics never heard of this . I changed it on mine using the same procedures as any other transmission and it worked fine .
@@sylvainst-laurent3631 'valve thing',????? Do you not see the official Audi procedure shown in this video????? If you do not disable it, you don't get all the oil out. Ballbag
you only changed half of the oil, you want to do it correctly, you should remove the entire mechatronics and replace 3 filters, all seals, etc. I will add that in the gearbox there are two types of oils and two separate oil circuits !!!
@@maciejkazmierczak6781 in this video, we follow the manufacturers instruction and 3 filters and 2 oil cavities are clearly explained in the video. Perhaps you missed all that
@@Matt-rk3de The principle of adaptation, plus or minus, is the same as on the DL501, but there are fewer functions for 382 in VСDS. There is no reset to basic settings (only a general reset, which turns the gearbox into a brick), no adaptation of the clutch itself. Only reset start/stop values, reset pump adaptation and a couple more functions that are not related to clutch adaptation, for example.
@@artemno8667 yup! That’s all I was able to see, too. Thanks for note about bricking the trans. I kinda want to try just the first 3 steps : 1.) Erase counter for start and stop processes. 2.)Clutch valve calibration 3.) Distance sensor calibration But I feel the ‘clutch engagement point adaptation’ is needed after that..
@@Matt-rk3de Yes, I’m also interested in the clutch, because... For me it slips sometimes. But there is no adaptation function. But after those adaptations were made, the car behaved perfectly for a short time. Only ODIS does normal adaptation.
