Nice vid and thanks for posting capacities. Here's some steps for adding the fluid from a VAG guide in case it helps anybody wanting to tackle this. I'd absolutely do the "measure and replace" method like you did too. It states the "inspection opening" is the black center part you first took off that fluid drained from.
_Guide filler hook of ATF filling tool (V.A.G. 1924) into opening of protective cap. Do not push cap up. Add fluid unit it drips out inspection hold.
_ Start engine and switch off again after 20 seconds.
_Once more, add ATF using filler tool until ATF drips from the inspection opening.
_Start engine.
_Continue adding ATF until ATF drops from the inspection opening again.
_Tighten ATF inspection plug.
_While pressing the brake pedal and with the vehicle at idle, shift through all selector level positions (P,R, N,D,and S) leaving each position engaged for at least 10 seconds.
_Place selector lever in position "N".
_Increase engine speed to 2000 rpm and maintain for at least 60 seconds.
_Place selector lever in position "P". (Note I noticed it didn't say to turn off car for last step)
_Check ATF level and top off referring to [ATF Level, Checking]
Thanks for posting those instructions! They make it sound so scary and difficult, but it's really not bad at all.

Just like to say your videos are well informed and easy to follow, you have been a big help with my turbo/manifold replacement as I have never tackled one before and came out great! Watching this video to now do transmission fluid. Never posted a comment before but thought this deserves my first. Just a thanks from me and my 2009 Audi A4 Quattro. Great Videos!
I am glad I could help you out! It is a great feeling to fix your car yourself. Thank you for the comment!
Finally! A video about someone doing the more difficult steps in detail. Easy to follow. Thanks for posting. Super helpful.
I appreciate the video! By far the most informative person I have ever watched! Thank you very much!
Just did this yesterday and using the full hole on the side does work, just leave the black inspection hole open as well so you can see the fluid come out
We need more people like you on youtube 👍 Thanks for the video
Wow! Thank you for the kind words! Best comment ever, this makes my day wonderful, thank you!
Seriously. Thanks for posting this man. Really helped me out!
Underneath your car looks really clean.
Did you figure out if you can just fill from the side fill plug?
Great video sir! I don't understand why ppl like to complicate auto transmission oil change. It as simple as u explained!
Good job and very detailed clear direction video, 🙏🙏👍👍
thanks for your hard work on this repair...I am going to try it
Great video, im just going to change the centre diff fluid as well on an A4 with 6HP-19A. Some interesting notes from ZF on the transmission fluids are that the front diff uses 75W90 gl-5 gear oil (G 052 145 A2) and the centre diff uses the exact same gear oil 75W90 + 4% friction modifier for the torsen diff. (G 055 145 A2 = G 052 145 A2 + 4% Sturaco FM) This is straight from ZF notes. If anyone prefers aftermarket fluid for the centre diff make sure it includes friction modifier or is limited slip rated.
Yes you are correct!
Did it specify in the notes that this special center diff fluid should only be used on initial fill or refill? I read that this fluid should not be used on refill, something about too much off Sturaco being held up in the diff causing it to not function properly. The diff oil for the front and rear diff should work on the center for refill, well that's what I've been reading...
@@zaheerally511 Thats an interesting point, as far as I have read, I have never seen an official note for initial vs. refill. Can you post that note where you read that? From what I have read the quattro center diff is like any Torsen limited slip differential and typical fluid change would be done with like for like fluid. I had blended 4% FM with 75W90 as a refill and haven't noticed any difference with the center diff. IMHO the fluid change on the center diff was a waste of time as I could only get 500ml out and it was very clean and no change in performance.
This is a great help your comments are very useful thanks bud, 👍👍👍
OK video, but a lot of VERY useful details left out !!! I'm giving you Lov anyway for effort!
What details do you need? I can answer your questions.
Good video. The torque on the pan is around 11 ft/lbs or your snugged fit would do. But you waited 90k miles! The book says first 35k miles then every 40k miles after or every 4-5 yrs, which ever occurs first. Besides that, just becareful about dirt caught along the outside of your feeding tube going into your transmission. The torque on the mount bolts are about right 45-65 ft/lbs depending on size. Your job on this was exceptional.
0
Are the bolts at 10:11, ones holding the trans mount also 12mm?
Thanks for the video helped me a ton! Did you do the transmission adaptations after the fluid change? How have things been since?
No issues since and I did not do any adaptations
Thanks for great video
Hi what would you say would be thw appropriate cost for an audi a3 2012 transmission oil change
Awesome video's. Thanks for posting them. I have an 2010 A5 automatic and my question is the middle differential. That is seperate from the transmission?
Yes it is separate
Hey man, I need some quick advice. I have a 2009 Audi A4 and recently a transmission cooling line popped off causing all the Transmission oil to leak out. Fixed the line problem now i’m stuck with a stripped fill plug. Car has no oil so thought about taking the whole pan off but if there’s a way to remove the stripped plug then that’s easier. It seems weird since if it was metal welding something on would make it easy but it’s like plastic. Heard to use a 17mm but was seeing others say 10mm....but it’s stripped so i’m at a crossroad.
There is another plug on the side you can fill it from. I show it in the video. If i was you I would fill it up from there. Thats how you do it on the 2011 models. Otherwise yeah you can drop the pan to get the plug out but you are right its plastic so you should be able to jam a torx or hex in there and get it out even if its stripped. Try some stuff, worst case ypu break the plug and buy a new one at the dealer or order online. But fill it up from the side plug that should work.
Awesome video! Did you reuse all of your drain plugs and fill plugs?
Yes I reused them all
Nice and helpful video thanks
I have an 09 a4 quattro 6 speed automatic. Will this zf 8 be okay for my transmission? I always thought it was zf 6 lifeguard. It doesnt look like you use a vagcom to monitor the temperature at all. So I take that we dont need to do that??
If your 09 is a B8 model the zf8 is correct. Use vagcom to monitor oil temp if you want to. I measured what came out and put a little more in than what came out. If you do not measure or had a leak, then you fill it, run it a few mins, fill it again. Repeat if necessary. If it is freezing cold in your garage then you should monitor temp. Otherwise probably not worth the time. Shop manual says to monitor. Up to you it is your car!
Good video thanks
The X brace doesn’t need to come off in order to take off the transmission cross brace, then mount right?
The x brace needs to come off to get the transmission pan off. The pan wont come out otherwise.
Is it possible to reach any of these drain/fill plugs without removing so many components? Why are you changing the gasket to begin with; is that a standard maintenance item or perhaps a leak?
Should change the transmission fluid every 60 to 80k miles. Changing all the fluids is completely optional. If you do not plan on keeping the car more than 2 years I wouldn’t bother. I have owned mine for 11 years and do not plan to sell it so I want it to not fail.
I knew I was in for a roller coaster when he pulled out the lime green level 💀💀
Did you go to the dealer and see how much they wanted to charge for all that? And I got a 6-speed manual 2010 I always wondered is there maintenance or fluid you need to put in a manual transmission like I know automatic you need to change a automatic fluid but what do you do for a manual transmission? Thank you I do watch all your videos and appreciate what you do buddy
I'm pretty sure manual gear box should have fluid changed every 50k miles or so. The owners manual should tell you. If there is nothing in owners manual then change it at least every 80k miles. All oils need to get changed around 80k if not sooner.
Great video. Thanks a lot! Gives me a lot more confidence to give it a shot. If I can ask a question, how much did all the parts tally up to?
Also, at 90k miles, did you find debris? Shavings? The pan looks pretty clean in the video.
@@basiladventures there was a lot of cleanup to do on the pan and on the magnet. I wish I would have shown it but yes, cleaning the pan is necessary. Good luck!
I bought them all separate to get the best deals. The factory gasket is worth the money. The oil is the most expensive part so check multiple sites to get the best deal. Fcpeuro, shopdap, amazon, you never know who will have it cheapest.
@@CarsandCoding thanks for the reply!
How is your transmission holding up after having done the transmisson fluid change and axle oil changes in the front, center and rear differentials? I am doing the same service to my 2014 Audi A4 quattro 8 speed this week. Funny enough my car too just hit 100k miles. I completely overlooked in the manual about changing the transmission fluid. I don't want my transmission to blow down the line. I'm not an aggressive driver ie track/ racer just a normal point A-B commuter. Figured I still might be ok and ordered all the parts and fluids. 2 Problems I ran into, first the 17mm or 18mm hex bolts could not come off with my ryobi impact drill (I think the same models as yours) luckly I had an impact wrench lying around hooked it up to my air compressor put on the proper adapters and it screwed off the bolts off with the pull of the trigger. Second was that my cars particular x-bracket, as a M13 or an M14 bolt. I ordered a 4 pack of metric bits off amazon highest one went only to m12. Very frustrating but also my fault for not doing my proper due diligence, had to order two sockets of amazon yesterday, my car has been sitting on jacks for 3 days now X(. I have seen all over the web (even scotty kilmers YT channel) that if you don't change your transmission fluid consistently like the manufacturer says in the manual every service interval, its best not to touch it and hope for the best. But, I also heard that only applies to cars that have hit like 180K miles and changing the transmission fluid at that point likely will damage the car. Just wanted to see how your car is holding up today 2 years later. I ordered liquid molly ATF fluid and gear oil. Found an alternative to the G 055 145 A2 center Diff axle oil called "RAVENOL Torsen Center Differential Gear Oil AWD-TOR 1L" its the only slightly cheaper alternative to getting the VW that actually meets the same specifications. (Its german made as well). Thanks so much for this tutorial regardless. Everyone else on youtube is doing transmission fluid changes and diff oil changes on S4s and newer models or decade old a4's nothing for the 2009-2014 A4 B8.5 series your the only one
Absolutely no issues! You are doing the right thing. People who buy a car with 180k miles and it never had the trans oil changed and change it and have problems, well they would have problems anyway. If you want 200k miles out of your car or more, you need to do more than minimum maintenance. This is not a Honda Civic. As for the Ryobi not taking off the bolts, you need to be using a big 4ah battery. A smaller battery does not give the torque you need. The big battery will even take off wheel studs.
Honestly I would not use any ATF fluid other than Audi specific. This is a ZF transmission and it is specific fluid. It’s not like you will ever do this again as long as you own the car most likely. Most problems happen with transmissions when you use non OEM tans fluid. And that goes for any Brand of car or truck. In Honda you use Honda OEM, on Audi you use ZF specific.
Great video, thank you. Watch this at least 8-9 times. Seems so easy but... I done this, new seal, new screws, new filter after all is in place I have few drops coming of on the front of the pan. Any advices? Did yo use any additional seal on the gasket with the pan?. Thank you.
I did not use any sealant... Either the pan bolts are too loose or too tight is my guess?
@@CarsandCoding Thank you so much for your response; unfortunately I need to order a new gasket and start al over again, next time I will add some seal to avoid any issues. I spent way to much time on this little project. I have exactly the same car like you. Take care!!
I just came across your videos, amazing job! Very clear, I have a 2010 Q5 3.2 with the same transmission (6HP28AF) I'm about to do the same maintenance at 100k miles. Got same fluid, filter and gasket. Did you have to do relearn procedure for the transmission after this? I found some videos talking about that. Any suggestion for first driver after all this? Thanks!!
I did NOT do the relearn procedure. I had no issues after and did not notice any difference. I did not have any problems before doing this. I recommend putting in the transmission mount insert in the transmission mount. That helps with shifting slop. See my other video on that insert. Thanks for watching!
@@CarsandCoding Awesome! Thank you, I did install the transmission mount insert about a month ago. I didn't and I don't have any problems whatsoever. Just preventive maintenance. Thanks again!
One more question! Is it possible to just fill everything from that side hole on the trans? Opening the bottom fill plug for reference at the begging and then with the same procedure fill the amount I took out. Thanks!
I have a 2015 Audi s4 sports differential. Does that have a front differential and a transfer case that needs to be changed or do I just need to change my rear differential and transmission fluid
S4 is Quattro system. All Quattros have a front, center, and rear differential. For sure change the oil in them on that beautiful car! :) thank you for commenting and watching
The best video I have seen for transmission fluid change on a 4th gen A4! I noticed that my 2012 A4 has two different automatic transmission types, a 6 speed and an 8 speed. My transmission is a 6 speed automatic, but all I can find is the Lifeguard 8 fluid. I imagine that I can used lifeguard 8 with the 6 speed transmission ?? Hoping someone can verify before I order the fluid.
Lifeguard 8 is correct for all. 2012 only has 8 speed in USA. Only 2009 and 2010 has the 6 speed auto trans.
is 1 L for the center differential enough? the OEM fluid is very expensive, do you know about an alternative?
Yes 1 L is enough. Do not use alternative. You are changing the oil to ensure the diff lasts another 100k miles, if you do not plan on keeping the car then why change it?
Hi! I have a 2009 Q5 3.2 with (I believe) the ZF 6HP28AF (aka "type 0B6") automatic transmission. I am at 196k miles and honestly do not know if this vehicle has had the trans oil changed (purchased used a few years ago)--the only problem I’m having is the trans wants to stay in 1st or 2nd gear longer than usual when climbing or descending. No hard shifts, etc. Does that symptom indicate a serious problem? Also, with my high mileage-do you think it’s a horrible idea to change/flush the trans oil? Or too risky? Thank you for your great video! I want to do this, but curious your opinion on my questions. 😅😅
I would change the fluid. Never “flush” transmission fluid. Pretty much every time there is a problem after a transmission fluid change, is either the wrong type of fluid was installed, or it was “flushed” out. Only use the original type fluid and you can’t go wrong.
I think the title needs to be changed. This is more than a fluid change. Nice
I have removed all but one of the bolts on my cross brace on my 2015 Q5. One bolt with the interior star pattern is frozen in place and the interior of the bolt is starting to sheer even with my brand new socket. The exterior of the bolt is smooth so nothing to grab onto. Any suggestions on how to remove this bolt?
This is when a 4 hour job can turn into a whole weekend. I would spray the heck out of it with penetrant oil like liquid wrench or Aerokroil. Then heat it cherry with a torch. Give it a love tap with a hammer. Then alternate tightening and loosening it. If it rounds off then if you can grab it with a vice grip, use that, otherwise you are stuck with welding a bolt to it and turning the bolt. The joy of working on cars! 🤞
I have the 8 Speed Quattro from 2016, I will be doing all of these. Question, though beacause the drain plugs are different on 8 speed vs the 6, do I need different filters and fluid? I don't see the bottom black drain plug on the 8 just the side one.
For 8 speed the fluid is the same. Filter might be different, look it up on fcpeuro.com or shopdap.com. You will use the top plug to fill like I did at first. I'm pretty sure I could have used the top plug to fill but I just didn't because I didnt have time to mess around anymore.
okay, great thanks.. I'll check on fcp- do they have the center diff fluid or is that a special order audi item? Great video very helpful
@@paulkieffer1189 I only found the center diff oil at shopdap.com
Is this correct for center diff? Hopefully, this is correct easier to get in the states.
@@paulkieffer1189 the part number for center differential gear oil is g055145a2. You can search google for a place to buy it. You can buy from Audi dealer if you cannot find it. Hope this helps! :)
Where do I top up transmission fluid to refill
Can you use a multi vehicle atf for these transmissions?
No way, use only ZF fluid or get from dealer
How many miles did it have? And did you notice a gas mileage increase?
About 85k miles and no mpg increase. No difference at all, I had no issues prior anyway. Best thing for increased performance is a $20 transmission mount insert. See my video on that one! :)
so the fluids that can be changed are: Rear differential, Front differential, Transmission and transfer case?
That is correct
Hello! I have a 2015 a4 Quattro and I want to change the trans fluid. How much liters I would use. And I would need something else?
hello did you changed you trans fluid i have 2013 a4 quattro and i will change it soon i need to know how much fluid i put thank you
Is the transmission fluid is the same on a 2009 audi a4 quattro 2.0T that you have used on your car? thanks
Yes it is the same for all ZF transmissions
hello cars. this regarding the end of the video I have a question after you put all the transmission oil did you use the VSDS to check the temperature before fill another oil transmission again?
How did it hold up after 3 years? Great detailed information! Will be tackling this soon.
No issues after 3 years. However, highly recommend installing the transmission mount insert! Really tightens up the shifts. ua-cam.com/video/kKA0twkuES4/v-deo.html
@@CarsandCodinginteresting, i installed it as well and felt it got worse. everytime I turn on the car there's an aggressive knock in the transmission and i don't feel any good differences. wasn't like that before
@@tubbycustard8866 shouldn’t be any knock, if it wasn’t knocking before, remove it.
Hey man thanks for the video, I was curious, I have a 2011 audi a4 quattro with 8 speed tiptronic, would the procedure be the same for me? I noticed you said you have the 6 speed so I'm assuming it's not exactly the same, thanks for the help
?
Yes 8 speed is exactly the same except you fill it from the top hole that I showed, there is no fill hole in the pan like on the 6 speed. Fill the same way I did at first, then start the car, keep filling, and then put through gears with foot on brake and then fill even more until it starts running out. There is an exact methid to fill with monitoring temperature also but main thing is to fill it when fluid is about 98 degrees F warm (body temperature), not hot or cold. If you live in hot climate like me it's 96 every day so I don't worry about checking temp!
Hey wanted to check. I did tranny fluid without doing center diff and my front/rear diffs. I wanna attack the center diff since I have 152k miles and whenever I turn I feel the AWD vibration is a little more than I remember when first buying the car. Is there anyway to do center diff without removing the X-brace and transmission support?
Have to remove the transmission support to get to the drain and fill plug for the center section. If you feel any vibrations, I do not think the diffs are causing that, unless they are not full. But you would see a leak in that case. Vibrations are more likely to be tires or wheel bearings, but usually tires would be #1 thing to check. Good luck!
@@CarsandCoding just replaced with Conti DWS06 8 months ago and I put a new knuckle on with wheel bearing. Maybe I’m just paying attention to the smaller things now. I won’t worry about it but still want to do the center diff fluid. Things for video and info.
Nice video did you notice a difference in shifting
I never had any shifting problems and there was no difference after. The issue I have is the motor mounts are bad so it kind of thuds when hard shifting sometimes due to that. I will be replacing the motor mounts within the next month and make a video of that.
How much center differential gear oil did you drain / fill . Ty
It was the 1 liter. Fill until it overflows, took nearly the whole liter
What amount of fluid is required in the center diff?
The 1 liter of special gear oil
Just curious is the magnet that catch the metal particle/shard in the filter itself?
The magnet is in the pan, I didn’t show it.
@@CarsandCoding that’s weird I have a 8 speed the filter looks a bit different but someone mention the magnet is apart of the filter.
@@NhatNguyen-xs7kl could be! I don’t have the 8 speed
I have an 09 a4 almost going 100k miles I’ve had 4 time where the gears would slip is this recommended I’m the second owner of the car
Changing the fluid is not going to make it run any better. If the fluid is too low or too high it will run poorly. But if it is shifting poorly then transmission may be damaged already. Changing the fluid is good to prevent more damage. I would recommend changing it.
Tiptronic or multitronic?
I have a 2009 Audi A5 with 114K miles. I bought it with 104K miles but don’t know when the transmission fluid was last changed. Is it a good idea to go ahead and change it or don’t even bother?
If you plan on keeping it for 4 or 5 years then yes change it. If you are only keeping it for a year or two then dont bother.
@@CarsandCoding thanks man. This is my first German car but you make working on it seem less intimidating 🙏🏽
Which pump did you use? I can never find one that fits the Audi bottles and it's a huge mess.....
Links are in the video description for the pumps I used
@@CarsandCoding Okay, coo....For the transfer case did you end up using the entire bottle? For the rear differential, it takes the same part number and I used a bottle and a half.
@@deejay4837 center takes the whole 1 liter
@@CarsandCoding Sounds good, great vid! Keep em coming!
How often do these Transfer case oils or differential oils need to be changed?
Every 50k miles would be best but I waited until 85k. All depends how long you are planning to keep it running!
Cars and Coding the report at 25:32 did you mean “Open the back ‘fill’ plug”?
@@EJR20 yeah the black plug is the fill plug on the 6 speed. On the 8 speed you use the one in the side to fill. I think you could also use the side one on the 6 speed but I didnt have time to mess around anymore so i filled it as per the shop manual. I have not had any issues since, it has been almost a year.
Did you reuse the side bolt? Is there a washer on it?
I reused all hardware, didn’t have any leaks
@@CarsandCoding sweet, and I just want to make sure of the process. I believe I may be low on fluid so I just want to add some. Am I able to just: start the car, go through the gears, put in park, remove side bolt, fill until dripping out? I also have the same transmission. And if I was full, it would drip out when I remove the side bolt while running correct? Thanks for your help by the way!
@@Jackherrow12 yes engine has to be running when you fill it as last step
at 25:27, you opened the "black drain plug"....do you mean the fill plug? did you determine if the unknown side plug provided the proper fluid level? if not, how about removing the side plug while engine is cold and see what the level is.
is your new atf amber, purple, or green?
The black plug is for filling but I removed it just to see what would happen. You cant check level when the fluid is cold. Has to be checked warm and engine running. With engine running when you pull the black plug very little if anything should come out. It had tons of fluid cold because the torque converter drains down. If you measure how much comes out and fill the same amount you dont have to worry about how you do it. All I can say is the service manual for 6 speed trans says to fill using black plug. 8 speed transmissions fill from side plug. Color of fluid is hard to tell. I used ZF 8 fluid as per spec.
@@CarsandCoding let me rephrase the question: you initially refilled the transmission with the hand pump through the side plug, and then topped it off according to the manual procedure through the black bottom plug. my question is, while the engine is cold, would any fluid pour out of the side plug? if no, how far below the side plug opening might the fluid level be?
@@arkrainflood If car had sat overnight when you remove that side plug or black plug in pan, you will have a huge waterfall of oil come out. You cannot take that plug out without the engine running because the oil has to be in the torque converter, which it only is when running. There is really no way to "check the level". Only way is to start the car, put it through the gears, then with it running remove black plug or side plug and add oil until it runs out.
@@CarsandCoding thanks.
me thinks audi should have included a dipstick tube for removing/filling, and of course checking the level. also, there is no such thing as a "sealed for life" transmission. only "sealed for the warranty period"
Do you have to change the transmission oil on a automatic 2010 Audi A4
Yes absolutely you should change it every 80k miles. If you want to keep it running for a long time. If you are only keeping it a year then dont bother.
Audi dealership told me I do not have to change transmission oil at all on my B8.5... Why do you change it?
The transmission oil collects metal particles and over time will clog the tiny passages and orifices within the transmission. It will cause the transmission to malfunction over time. The dealer says it never has to be changed because if you never change it, it will not fail or start shifting hard until around 120 to 200k miles. That is a lot of miles and past when people stop taking it to the dealer for maintenance. If you plan on keeping the car past 100k miles then you should change the transmission fluid every 75k miles. So at 75k and 150k miles.
@@CarsandCoding Thank you
I purchased a transmission fluid kit and got 9 liters. I follow the direction: Fill until starts to drip then put the fill plug back in. Let engine run and monitor transmission temp until it reaches 40 degrees C, then fill it again until steady drip. But I still have at least 3 liters. Is that normal?
Yes that is right. You only needed 5 or 6 liters. 9 is way too much.
I get confuse here. Transmission flui kit is a dsg fluid right? Nothing to do with transfer case oil? I still searching for anser how many L needed for DSG fluid and Transfer case fluid fir my audi a5 2.0tfsi 7 speed S-tronic. Hope you can help me here. Thanks
@@fareednajmudin7332 they are different fluids. Transfer case fluid has some special additives and cost around $100 for a quart but you only need one quart. Transmission fluids will be around 9 quarts when you but the kit which includes the Transmission gasket and filter. I get mine off of ECS Tuning. Hope that helps
