Multitronic Oil Change - (a bit of a faff...!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 май 2019
- I finally got hold of an oil service socket for the Audi, which means I can now change the gearbox oil. No idea when it was last changed, so let's see what condition it's in! We haven't had any problem with the gearbox - this is just regular maintenance.
Changing the multitronic oil is a bit of a pain - there's no filler from the engine bay - it all has to take place underneath the car - what a faff! So up it goes again on the jack stands and I squeeze back into my overalls... By the way - I did top up the level properly with the engine running, I just did it off camera. The final level check/top-up is always done with the engine running.

Don’t forget to hit the subscribe button and give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it! 👍 let’s see if we can get the channel to 10,000 subs by Christmas!
Special mention to the cameraman. Very steady filming - very pleasing to watch!
I really do not know why, but there is something about your voice and personality that I could listen to for hours 😂 I'm not even a car guy and I enjoy watching these
Brilliant video. About to change my own A6 CVT and this detailed video has been a big help. Thank you!
Fair play for doing this i bit the bullet for this job and took my a5 to Audi for this job when I brought it because it sounded like a mission to do outside my house .It cost 200 quid but i doubt i will have the car long enough to worry about doing it again .All the other jobs i like to do myself subscribed.
You have good filling nozzle!! Thankx for that valve/ plug adaption!!👍 I have Tiptronic 1998 A8,Merry Christmas
Just wanted to say thank you for the video. I'm the second owner of a Audi A4 2014 TDI 2L with a CVT, and the worry over the CVT has been driving me mad. Your video is deeply appreciated. Please keep it up. Sincerely, Merov.
Do you have to change and filter too or just oil ?
CVT filters (on Audis at least) are deep inside the gearbox and are only replaced during a rebuild.
thanks, mate helped fixed my 2010 gearbox slippage issue it needed new fluid
Nicely done.👍👍
This is very helpful vlog , as Iam planing to do my own, so thanks for your effort and tips, ps I never wear gloves either, Iam 71 and my hands are fine. 👍
Haven't taken it up yet, but if I manage, I will have saved about 360 Euros thanks to you. Cheers for taking your time to do this!
Make sure you research the exact procedure for your own vehicle - there can be differences! Don’t forget the final level check/fill process should be done at the correct gearbox oil temperature and with the engine running. Good luck!
Very good explanation. Thank you
Autos und Orgeln? Fraser, du bist eine Wundertüte.😁
nice to see a bloke that lives in the real world without the lifing gear ,not using air tools ect,ect well done and a great vid
Thank YOU very much man !
WIll do it Myself and save on labor from the dealer!
Loved the video. Thanks!
Dziękuję za pomoc..... pozdrowienia z PL
Love the video, super easy to follow along. Any chance you can list the tools you used, pump and fill adapter.
@12:54 AHA "VCDS" top of your screen you weren't sneaky enough!.🤣 Also you don't have to worry about copyright issues with the brand name. Everyone is posting vids of their software and using their name. Thanks for the tutorial regardless it's been a great resource in my 2014 A4 b8.5 triptronic transmission fluid change.
Shouldnt the gear oil be filled with the engine running the second time, to get the level correct?
In other automatic gearbox like a tiptronic, there wil always be old oil left in the converter. I have always change the oil 3-4 times in those cases and runed the car throu all gear betwin each oil shift while the car is up on the lift. Is this also necessary to multitronic to change all the oil?
Yes indeed. The A4B8 1.8 multitronic transmission has only one drain and fill point. There is a standpipe that need to be remove for full drainage of ATF.
This piano intro is 🔥🔥
Thanks man! How about a bit of boogie for your vids?😀
Color? Viscosity? Good looking reddish condition? Fraser, you make doing an oil change sound positively sexy!!😊🚗
What size is the 2 socket ? 1 socket in and 1 socket out
Hallo Sir, did you removed the adaptor and screwed the bolt in before engine start to bring temp up?
Thanks in advance
What size was the special tool and where can you buy a set of them in different sizes
Nice job! I do it also by myself. There is a fine filter at the right side of the radiator. Cut it out and placed a magnefine filter in that place. Works very well. Till know 377.000km with the first transmission!
You have got 377k km from original multitronic? Hope for mine then haha. Any update?
@@ln5747 the update is that the engine gave up due to a bad timing chain tensioner. Drove to long with it knowing it should be replaced. But in the workshop it went wrong with cranking the engine. The chain Jumped. Engine failure….
In the meantime we bought a simulair Audi A6 3.2L with a multitronic again. Lower on the mileage (236.000km) but also replaced the standard filter into the magnefine filter and changed the differential oil (1,3L) i also use a additive in the multironic from (Polytron) what is available in the USA
@@sm7091bs thanks for the reply. What mileage did you get the first one to? Also, I presume by the sounds of it it was a petrol/gasoline engine, not diesel, given it had timing chain?
My multitronic is at 115k miles, it concerns me given what people say but I've had no issues and plenty seem to have good experiences with them.
@@ln5747 i believe the engine failed at 397.000km due to my own fault. It is very important with the multitronic to change the oil. 60.000km is the interval. I would suggest to do it a little earlier. I am a car mechanic for 35 years so I maintain it by myself. But google on a magnefine inline filter. The original one what is fitted near the radiator on the right side seen from the driving position should be cut off through the aluminum line’s . This one was also fitted in the other A6. And the additive Polytron MTC was also added to the oil inside the multitronic and differential. This product is really a big benefit for the longer life of the multitronic. If you need more info i could give you my e-mail adress. The car was by the way a petrol car. Even the “new” one is a petrol
@@sm7091bs thanks for the info. I would be happy with 397k. Mine is 2.0tdi which generally seem to last longer than the petrol.
Thanks for the offer, but hopefully that will be enough info and I will speak to my mechanic. Should most dealers/specialists be aware of what you suggested? I have had my gearbox oil changed at 80k miles (unsure if it got done at 40k by previous owner) and about to have it done again. I will keep doing it every 40k miles as Audi recommends. But I shall look at these extra recommendations you suggest. I can see the engine lasting a long time and everything else. The one thing that will fail and probably write the car off would be the multitronic if it fails. Would maybe not be worth fixing. So I will look after it as I still love the car and have no desire for a new one.
hello . thanks for nice video . how long time it take for you to reech 35-40 celcius ?
Fairly thorough.
What car are you working on?....Audi...? Looking to do a 2011 2.7 V6.
What is the trans' capacity?
Does doing what you did get all the 'old' ATF out?... With a Merecedes (e.g.) you have to drain the torque converter as well as the sump as the sump only holds about 3.5L whereas full g.box capacity is 8L. I have seen people with their demo's on RUclips doing MB auto' trans' putting 3L of new ATF into 5L of remaining dirty ATF after just draing g.box sump.
Thank you
Hello sir thank you very much for this video, it's definitely looks doable even with a small handpump. Now before I jump into buying cvt atf, would you recommend the brand you had on this video "Meyle"? How was the car running after the oil change, nothing to report ? Thanks in advance
question, in 12:30 you get rid of air without plug and after that you handthigt that fill plug?
Is that the ZF5HP19 trans? Or what years take the same size fill adapter?
Hello sir What kind of fluid your are using and is that fluid good quality ?
Looking to perform this myself and watch lots of videos and the workshop manual, and what I come to conclusion is on final check oil should just slowly stop poring trough the fill hole reaching the 40° and that should be the right quantity and oil level is righ ?!
Omg it work
Really like the intro/outro music, and even more so the quality content in the middle! I assume this is you at the piano?
Thank you! Yep, I made the jingle for the channel!
@@GartshoresGarage Good Jingle. Though I was hoping to hear a baroque counterpoint adaption of the top gear theme.
@@markcorrigan9815 omg 😂😂😂
Great video- ! Can you share where I can obtain the fill adapter tool in the US ? I have a 2016 a4 2.0 T CVT
Hi, Mr. Fraser! I love the content and the way you explain so easily. I just bought a Audi A4 Avant 2011 with Multitronic transmission and I'll looking forward for more contents about who to keep this car. By the way, which model is your car? Anyway, Happy New Year!😉👍
It was a 2.7 diesel - now sadly sold due to something beyond my comfort zone wrong with the engine. Sad, as the rest of the car was in perfect shape. There will be more vehicles appearing on the channel throughout the year!
Hi what an absolute nice man you are. Step by step instruction clear speaking ! Brilliant Thankyou so much.. Now would I be able to ask you a question about my Audi A4 cabriolet gearbox issue.... 😩. It sounds like a wheel bearing grinding noise but it is a transmission issue as it's when I excelerate its most noisy... ah I just read on and this is a hobby channel so I may have to seek medical help but it's worth an opinion if you can relate.... couldn't help laugh when you were mentioned as the "organ" man. Also where are you based as could help notice left hand drive
It is possible to drill out centre pin in triple point xyz plug then can use normal 16mm spline socket. NOTE it is NOT "torx".
Hi great video!!! Im looking to buy a 2008 a6 sline auto with 92.000 miles on it, it had 4 owners, from what i hear the gearbox oil needs changing every 40.000 or so, is there a way to check or just change it to be on the safe side. Keep the vids coming
Subbed... interesting stuff. Hello from Tipperary 😊
Am I allowed to make jokes about it being “a long way” etc... greetings from sunny Germany!
About how long did ur Audi run before ur transmission reached 38 Celsius?
"Sealed for life"... I had a ZF 5HP24 blow on me because previous owners believed that bullcrap. Cost £2k to rebuild it, whole car only cost me £595 three years previously!
Should the vehicle not be running when checking level
Thanks! One question, maybe you got a clue? :). I need to take off the ATF Cooler for changing the belts, so I might loose some CVT-oil then. Do you think it's possible to get the lost oil back into the system when reinstalling the cooler tubes over the upper hose hole in the cooler?
That's above my skills I'm afraid! If you can get the oil back in and it's 100% clean, then good luck to you! It would probably be safer to change the oil and do a flush at the same time.
Also what about changing the gearbox filter?
thanks body you make me laugh and you help me with my car thanks alot
Hi I got question after refill whats procedure should I follow before test drive I got A4 b8 CDH engine 1.8Tfsi
Hi Fraser, just an idea for a future show: do you listen to your cars? What do you listen for?
Good morning , and thank you for the video.
XzN Is M16? Right?
Hi Fraser, the car has a milage of 250 tkm. How you organiz your car aquise? Could be a topic for a video series... Greetings.
shouldn't the engine be running even when the temp is in the correct range ? otherwise the fluid drains to the bottom of the pan ? All the references I have seen for trans oil change state that the engine must be running in the final "top off" step.
Well done, if you had a coupler after your shut off valve and hose it wouldn't be such a mess. Thumbs up. Very clear and crisp English by the way, you are a native from England? Greetings from Germany
What's engine size on that Audi A6 and what's gearbox oil did you use it? Great video by the way
Hi Fraser. Very useful video, thanks. I need to replace the fluid on mine as I've just removed the ECU ready to be sent off for repair. There seem to be different colour CVT fluids available and the old fluid that came out is a dirty brown colour so I'm not too sure of the original colour. I don't think you can mix different colour fluids, any advice?
If the fluid was very old, it's advisable to perform a series of changes back to back to flush as much of the old oil out of the system - or even better - have a professional flush performed.
@@GartshoresGarage Thanks. I've replaced the fluid that came out with Ravenol CVT. I could only get around 4.75 litres back in and I think just over 5 litres drained out! I'm going to refill again in a few days as I've had to get the TCU repaired again. I'm wondering if there may have been air in the gearbox? Regards...
Usually just measure how much you take out and put same amount back again
Hi
When you first remove the plug for the fill and level drain, a lot of fluid came out and you said this was great, or correct. So, if the engine was cold, and the fluid not expanded, shouldn't no fluid come out when the engine is cold?
Reason for this happening is because the fluid is sitting at the bottom of the transmission and pan. Level should be above the drain tube. Once the transmission starts and circulates the fluid trough the gears and rest of the transmission, the level should be slightly below the fill tube. The reason you need the proper temperature of the fluid is due to the termal properties of the fluid. You want to have just the right amount of fluid in there until it starts running out trough the plug. Remember yiu always check transmission fluid on vehicles with the car running always for this reason.
Even the automatic is filled from under. I have a Passat with a 09G and while not a CVT it is similar to other "sealed" transmissions.
The 09G is not a bad box - the solenoids are known to stick with age but can be replaced easily. There are kits available. Regular fluid changes and flushes can help keep the box changing smoothly. We had an old A3 with the 09G and after 3 flushes it was as good as new!
Should the engine not be started by accident during the inspection?
Hi, What is the size of the multitooth socket that you bought to loosen to drain plug? Do you have a link or something?
T10
Hi Mr Gartshore, is this process OK for a Q5 2010 2.0 TDI 7 gear. How long did you leave it running to get to the optimum temperature as I don't have the software you have.
Nope - you’ve got a very different setup there! You have the DSG by the sounds of it - don’t quote me on that though. Check service manuals for the 3-letter gearbox code and then check that online for required oil/amounts/procedures!
Please wear safety glasses when under a car. Very interesting video and a job well done (albeit no safety glasses)
Do you not need to replace the old oil pan gasket, oil filter, and magnets inside the transmission pan after replacing the fluid?
Multitronic transmission does not have oil pan.
What oil did you (or previous owner) use before ? Oem fabric oil to cvt gearbox ? What mileage made on used gearbox oil on movie ? It looks really good
The old oil did look to be in good condition, so I assume it was changed at prescribed intervals throughout the car’s life.
Isn't the safest procedure after refilling to 1. let it drain to correct level 2. run engine a short time, and go through gear selections, turn off . 3. check and ensure fluid is still at correct level.4. warm up the transmission 5. drain it back to correct level when at correct temperature.
Hello Mr, could you please tell me if the multitronic a4 shaking when I want to start driving sometimes is it related to the gear box oil change ?
Thank you
I have an a6 and I used to feel the clicks & Thurdd noises when the gear drops from high to low.. after changing the transmission oil the noise is gone.. my car runs runs great.
Q7 4l 2013 -In my case the oil leaked out, all of it, the car wouldn't go anywere... local garage done the job (probably with no care or skill) and after 5 minutes it was reving high and going nowere. What could be the fault? Is it because i drove it until it ran out of oil or becouse they didn't do a proper job? ( the coolant pipes broke down as well)
Sounds like you need to take some legal action against your local garage.
Thank you for the clear video, although one thing I don't get. When draining the oil from the filling hole, more oile came out then when you checked the oil level after finishing the oilchange. Does this means there was to much oil inside gearbox? I thought checking the oil level should be done with the engine running? (2002 c5 01J)
Sorry, I found the answer allready in your answer to someone elses question.
He set the oil level wrong, he supposed to have the car running between 95-113 f degrees then set the level, that transmission needs at least 1.5 quarts more
@@satt4603 Exactly. To many false videos on RUclips about DSG oil change
@@satt4603 He did it right , on right temperature but in Celsius degree between 35-45 And if you convert it into Fahrenheit degrees pretty much the same as 95-113 F
@@satt4603 wow thats a lot of volume difference you estimate. You got that wrong, its only going to be up to a pint different due to wrong temperature. However you got it wrong. If you had it colder than operating temperature, it will have TOO MUCH FLUID when at operating temperature. Where did you get your internet posting license ? you need to resit that test !.
It seems based on the number of Multi CVT failures on the Audi A6 B6 you're suspicions on Long Life oil aren't entirely unfounded (esp as Audi themselves suggest the 60km oil change). However interesting thing is, when i've spoken to two Audi dealers about how much oil is required to refill both Audi dealers replied with 7.5 litres. Interesting that you suggest only 5.5l is required (does make a cost difference)
Hey, I have a question. This type of transmision does have a filter that needs to be changed everytime we change the oil ?
There is a filter buried deep inside the transmission. You can change it if the transmission is being rebuilt.
Oh.. I understand. So in the transmission you can fit like 5.5 liters of oil ?
It all depends on the amount of oil that was drained from the transmission. In MY case, it was around 5.5 L, others often need more - Audi themselves charge for 7.5. The level always has to be checked at the right temperature. That is the most important part of an oil change on these gearboxes!
Thank you very much. Your video was really helpful
Is that oil gear box change I can do it for an Audi A4 B8 TFSI 2010 ?
Can we expect anymore of your detailed videos on Audi A6 repairs/maintenance
I’m afraid not - we had to sell the A6.😢
Ok that’s a great shame, look forward to your videos anyway
I have two questions: 1) Cant we fill atf from where the filter with a funnel instead of trying to pump it up from lower tap? 2) If we replace atf when the transmission is cold we wouldnt need level check , would we?
This kind of gearbox does not allow for "normal" filling. The fluid has to be pumped back in through the sump plug as shown. Also, in order to get the correct level, the procedure must be followed, including reaching the correct temperature, when the final level is adjusted (with the engine running)! It's complicated, but it's the only way!
I have an audi a3 8p 2004 1.6 with a CVT Gearbox and is very jumpy between the gears.. to be
Honest I don t think the oil has ever been changed but I know that the problem might be much worse ( filter or any other internal component) my question is, do you think that changing just the oil, might get the car to not get those shock waves when is shifting gears? And if so, does the process described in this video, applies to my car? Thank you!
Are you sure you have a cvt? I don’t recall any A3 8Ps having them. They usually had the Aisin gearbox which was prone to sticking solenoids.The process is pretty much the same - you only have one plug and the filter needs to be changed which means removing the oil pan - check online for more details and the correct oil and procedures. An oil change might help a lot, a flush would be better. (Or 2-3 oil changes with short drives in between!).
Was there not a oil filter to change in the gearbox like the S4?
Multi-tronic is VW’s name for the CVT. The CVT uses an internal screen (like some Hondas) which is only accessible by dropping the unit and cracking it open.
There is a filter inline on the cooler line, but not everyone bothers to change it. The official repair info only calls for a drain and refill.
So ne Pumpe wäre gut für Bremsflüssigkeit. Beim Reo ist auf dem Bremsflüssigkeitsbehälter ein Deckel mit Belüftungsventil (ja, beim Reo ist das alles heavy metal, kein Plastik) , das kann man rausschrauben und durch so eine Festo Preßluftkupplung ersetzen. Da den passenden kunststoffschlauch eingesteckt und so eine Gartenppumspritze mit Bremsflüssigkeit drin dranmachen. Druck draufpumpen und schon kann man bequem an den Radzylindern Flüssigkeit rauslassen ohne pumpen zu müssen oder Angst zu haben, daß der Ausgleichsbehälter schon wieder leer ist.
How u do the audi use different oil in the diff
I have a question - I hope you can help me. I've got an Audi A6 2ltr tdi with an automatic cvt gear box. It's got 230,000 miles on it. The car when it's cold, starts with no problem but when I've warmed it up and want to restart the car, there is a sharp banging noise coming from behind the engine where the gear box is located. I have no idea what's causing it. Do you have any suggestions?
That kind of noise always needs professional attention!
In this mileages it's time to change the chain located where the noise coming from.
Did you get it fixed? 230k miles on multitronic is good
Hola Gartshore's Garage
Muy bueno el video, yo tengo un Audi A6 3.0 TDI Automatico cuntos litros tengo que utiliza para este cambio ???
Gracias
The 3.0 has a completely different gearbox - you need to check the service manuals for the exact procedure and amounts for your car!
what year is that a6? I have a 2002. Mine looks older but do you think its a similar procedure?
All Audi gearbox oil changes are similar, but check online for the correct oil specifications and procedures. The earlier cvt boxes were slightly different.
Il faut savoir que lors ce que vous faites le remplissage de l’huile de boîte de vitesse il faut impérativement que le moteur tourne afin que le niveau Soit juste
Use 2 sturdy ramps for the front and 2 jack stands for the rear because jack stands only can be very dangerous. You live only once.

Hi got 2013 Audi A5 2TFSI after Grarbox service from Audi I start having problem where cars is start jerking when moving from p to dive or when it’s move from stationary position and it’s Rav needles starting flickering as well when doing this
Any idea what’s goes wrong was reading different forum says it’s happen when adaption not done or oil is old .
Please help on this ?
That does not sound good. If Audi performed the service, you must go back to have them rectify the situation. There is definitely something wrong! Did you have similar problems before the service?
It doesn t need to be calibrated after changing the oil? At my Audi dealer they do that after changing the oil.
You can do that but you don’t have to. Audi likes to as it costs you more!😂
I have got an Audi quattro a4 with this DTC code p17d8 ( torque limitation because of clutch temperature)
Not likely if your car has less than 150k miles. Most likely the printed circuit board. Mechatronic needs to come off. $350.00 part and 4-600 in labor. This is a known problem with dsg.
Hi, could you share the place we can order these filling, drain plug removal tools, i.e. 12 pin star type nuts? Thank you.
You’ll have to check for the exact tools required for your car - there are differences between model years/gearboxes.
Hi mate. Is it the same procedure for A6 2.7tdi 2006 with CVT 7 speed ? Thank you !
Yes, it is
Good evening, congratulations on the video. My Audi is the A4 1.8 T gasoline model year 2005, automatic transmission (CVT). Is this car you are exchanging the same model as mine? If it's not the same as my car, can you recommend a video that teaches how to change the oil. Thank you in advance, thank you very much.
Thanks for watching. While the procedure would normally be the same for most VW/Audi CVT gearboxes, please check the manufacturer specifications, especially regarding the correct oil. Things change over the years and it's always important to check the exact specifications and techniques for your own vehicle. If you're doing it yourself and have any questions, always ask a professional - I'm just an amateur working on my own private vehicles!
So how come you've got so much oil coming out of the fill plug when cold? Was it over filled?
The final level is achieved with the engine running, so there is always more fluid in there than when the engine is off...
@@GartshoresGarage When you did the final level check the engine wasn't running. Should it be running? or do I just need to make sure the gearbox is at the correct temperature with the engine off?
It all depends on how much you pumped in on refilling.
Here’s an excerpt from the official blurb:
Run the engine in P and monitor the temperature
When the ATF has reached a temperature of 35°C, unscrew ATF inspection plug -B-.
When the plug is opened, approx. 5 cl of ATF will always run out of the inner oil level tube
If ATF continues to come out through ATF inspection opening via overflow pipe before ATF has reached a temperature of 40 °C, the ATF level is OK.
ATF inspection plug must be screwed in again at the latest when ATF reaches temperature of 45 °C (countries with hot climates: 50 °C).
If ATF temperature exceeds 45 °C too much fluid will escape as it expands when heated. In this case the quantity of fluid in the gearbox is NOT sufficient!
If no ATF fluid has drained out of the inspection plug when temperature reaches 40 °C, top up ATF
Hey, I have a 3.2 audi tt. Wanted to oil drain the auto dsg by myself. But after watching this clip, I guess i'll only do the engine and the haldex. Don't even know were to get the M24 XZN tool.
It is not any worse than changing any other sealed transmission fluid. Just get the correct fluid and don't be cheap about that then you should be fine. The DSG MUST be done every 40,000 miles or sooner. There is a filter up top under the battery tray. There are some vids on doing this too.
Yep - Charles is right - it can be done by yourself quite easily - just follow the instructions and buy good quality oil. Liqui Moly is very good and can always be recommended if it's available in your area. Just make sure it's the right specification for your gearbox.
@@GartshoresGarage I have a 09G but I have also considered using Liqui Moly ATF in that too. That would be Top Tec 1800 for 2nd gen 09G. Top Tech 1200 for 1st gen.
Hi,
Really appreciated your job in this video.
I am having 2013 a4 1.8t cvt.
I am only having one plug in the transmission.
I can’t find another as your video shows.
Can you please help me.
Thanks
I've checked, and all CVTs seem to have 2 plugs - one to drain and one to fill... Strange!
Thanks for getting back to me with my query.
I have recheck for plugs but there is only one plug on my cvt.
I can’t attach pictures for my transmission here.
If I don't have a software, can I preheat oil to right temperature before put it in the transmission?
That would be a strange way of doing it. A lot of people who can’t measure the temperature of the gearbox just measure the amount of oil that came out of the transmission and replace that amount. It’s not a perfect method, but it’s better than guessing!
Yeh, but if previous owner have done mistakes and filled up too much or too less then you will copy his mistakes.
Surely the first plug you took out was the drain as that much shouldn’t come out when you fill it and it’s “full”?
Ah yes - another musician who’s also a car nut!
Gartshore's Garage thanks a lot for this video, i just subscribed to your channel... Born in France, studied in US, UK and Germany and now living in the madness of South Africa driving a stunning A4 B8 2010... I cannot find a reliable place to change the multitronic GB oil.. Any tips about the software you used? Where to purchase the pump and more importantly, if it is the same access plugs for an A4 B8 from 2010? Tnx for your video 👍🏻
Hi, thanks for subscribing! The software is VCDS used via a Ross Tech interface. It’s not cheap, but it’s basically the same system used by most professionals. As for getting the oil changed - there are bound to be a few good techs around - check out your local forums! I bought my pump on eBay, there are plenty on offer around the world. As for the plugs on your gearbox - you’ll have to get down there and have a look! Most were the 01J model. Good luck!
I've read that you should shift it in every gear after it's been warmed up then add more fluid. What say you?
As the multitronic doesn't have gears as such, that's not relevant here. But don't take my word on it! Regular automatic boxes DO require that all gears are selected after a change.
Hey ! I have 2008 Audi Avant 2,7 tdi multitronic . The problem is when I'm on a flat road at a steady speed rpm. fluctuating up and down between 1000 -2000 rpm ( very small ,but you can see and feel) .If I drive fester then 100km/h more than 2000 rpm . car going smooth. Is this caused by the gearbox or something else?
no error code!
It could come from the gearbox, but it could also be a number of other things. A lot of people report this kind of behaviour when the transmission fluid is old. When was it last changed? CVT fluid should be changed every 60,000km - it's not lifetime like other Audi transmissions (which also need changing!).
@@GartshoresGarage thanks the info. last week change the gearbox. problem solved , car work good!
