Filling Automatic gearbox with ATF ?

Yes, check for leaks. Check that the drain/inspection plug is tight, and check that the pan bolts are tight.

To top it up, you need to undo the drain/inspection plug with the engine running and transmission in P.

You then attach VAS6262 2 AND ATF105 Tool Equivalent | eBay to the drain hole, then attach a bottle of G052162A2 transmission oil to the filler tube shown. You then up-end the tube so that the bottle is higher than the transmission, and let it gravity feed itself. By the time you get to this point, the transmission will be pretty close to ideal temperature.

Get in as much as it will take, then let it drain out. There's a level tube up inside the drain hole that will detirmine how much oil the transmission will hold, so the excess will just drain out. If less then what you added comes out, then it needed topping up. If more than what you put in comes out, it was overfull. During this time, DO NOT switch the car off. It WILL dump a fair amount of oil if you do this. When you're done topping up, remove the filler tube, and re-fit the drain/inspection plug. Only then, can you switch the car off.

Hope this helps.

ok missed out on that auction, but about to pull the trigger directly from the seller, just wanted to double check that it is the 6262/2 rather than the 6262 i need for my v5 bora?

Is the V5 the same as the V6 auto gear box?
Looking on ecs just now for auto filter, but doesn't have v5 to choose from?

Yeah, it's the /2.

If you can get me the transmission code, I can look up the part number for you.

Is there anything else that is anything similar?

Where are you located? Can be had cheaper.

Give Tooley's Imports in Sydney a ring. Give them your VIN and they'll work out what oil and parts you need.

Their oil is the same stuff, re-branded, but almost half the price.

Any ideas what the tranny oil temp should get to? I took it hit a 30km run @ 110 km in the evening and it got to 70 degc ? Didn't seem to go any higher ( maybe in a warmer day)

Ideal temperature for checking the level is in the mid-30s off the top of my head.

I wouldn't expect it to get very hot in normal operating temperatures. I'm sure if you tried, you could force it to go a lot higher, but I recommend that you don't

[Hairy_mic]

Yes that's the temp for checking the level, as if it was to be hotter it would expand and give a falls reading, but after a good drive you would expect temps to get higher right? I'm just concerned that I don't a thusly know the correct operating temp under normal driving conditions. I'm about to do a 3k km road trip, surly if it was too hot I would have got an error in vag com?
