The factory fluid in these transmissions is not red in color. It's has an amber to brownish color and is translucent when new. It typically turns darker with use.
Are you saying that because i said it? Sorry havent watched in a while. I think i remember using valviline max life that is comoatible with vw spec at the time
Does the transmission fluid have to be drained to do this? I watched another video where there was no mention of this. I just serviced my transmission and changed the filter and fluid so I’d prefer not to drain and fill again.
Volkswagens don't have center diffs like a traditional AWD cars and SUVs. The transfer of power from rear to front happens inside the transmission much like Subaru transmissions. Therefore when I removed the rear output seal I only drained transmission fluid. To be honest I do not know if the front differential has different fluid. I do know in Subarus they're different but in this car the differential was never drained. Traditional SUVs Engine → transmission → transfer case (←front differential via driveshaft) → rear differential via drive shaft. Subaru and Audi (that i know) Engine(front differential)→transmission (← center differential via inside of transmission ) → rear differential via driveshaft
Is it a gamble when changing the filter ? I have same car n having issues with tyranny once in awhile. When I slow down then hit the gas to speed up it hesitates n I can feel it clunk
Valve body is most likely dirty.. as long as you're not slipping you should be able to clean the valve body and get your tranny back but I don't have any videos on that yet
Thx for taking the time to make this video.
What type of grease did you use when you lived the new seal?
Thx Peter

Are you going to do a video on the rear dif fluid change?

no it doesnt but you will loose some
Did I miss it or you forget to fill center diff? I do not believe it shares the same reservoir as the trans.

@@M.A.S.-SuperiorService- is that sane as the pcv valve? Thank you so much
@@M.A.S.-SuperiorService- another question. Would u put coil overs on a awd daily driver ?
Whats That orange tube over transmission. I have audi a6 allroad 2.5tdi 2003 i think the orange tube its leak fluid. But i don't what its?
can you give me a time stamp?
I dont think that would be leaking any fluid as im pretty sure its the transmission shifter cable
32:36 the red/ orange tube over you right hand side.
the car can run without the rear transmission?
No
Should of read "lubed" .
