Good video. I can confirm the level is checked with car on according to the Febi video guide. How did you measure temperature for final level check? VCDS or Carista are the two methods I would recommend as IR guns are generally ball park and not that accurate.
Thanks for confirming, I was pretty sure the level check is done with the car running but it's a long time since I have done this job now.... Reason is, a certain amount of fluid is held in suspension / in circulation and then you just level check the remainder in the pan. Merc tranny's are 100% this way. I know IR guns aren't 100% accurate but I have found them ok for this sort of diy, have used at least half a dozen times now with no issues. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍Cheers, Phil
Great video as I'm about to undertake this, its very similar to a porsche 911 I recently completed. Just a safety note 🤔you possibly could have mentioned ventilation with the engine running 💡 , there is a substantial risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, NEVER leave the motor running in an enclosed space 👍
Thanks @gassafewngineer for your comment and for the safety comment! Yes, you are right. Pretty sure I would have opened the garage door when doing the work but I didn't make that clear in the video! Also, I have a CO detector in my garage because the house gas boiler is also in there. 👍 Thanks, Phil
Hello mate and great video work .Greetings from Spain. I am confused on mine Stronic Trans a4 b8 2.0Tdi Caga . It has almost 160.000 and never did the maintain,i know...i should do before...this is the moment. ¿recomended for a Full kit change? ¿You know the oem that i can buy it? ¿how much liters i will need and which filter?+ Thanks for reading
Hi there, thanks for your kind comment! Yes, it would be a good idea to change the transmission and internal filters. Audi did change the S-tronic transmissions slightly over the years. For example: Some of them have an external filter and others don't. As far as I know, they all have the same fluid level capacity, which is around 7L but many owners buy 8L to be safe. I don't really have a resource that will allow me to look up your car and transmission for you but this is a free website that I use when looking up part numbers, hopefully it will help you: nemigaparts.com/cat_spares/etka/audi/ If you check the video description, you will see a lot of information in there about which fluid to buy. Also, check the comments below as quite a few owners have contributed with information too! Thanks, Phil
Hi, what type of oil I need for Audi A7 Quattro, 3l,Audi -7 Speed I changed transmission oil already but haven’t clue what type oil need for other gearbox Oil side. It’s dual gear box . Thank you
Thanks for your comment! Yep, technically speaking, you should check the level when the car is running. 👍 In reality, if you check the level / made adjustment immediately after stopping the car, then you shouldn't have problems (I haven't and I also did the same process on my Merc auto).
Hi, that's a really good question and the source of some debate amongst Audi enthusiasts! It seems that for many cars (service manuals etc) with the S-tronic, the internal filter isn't listed as an item to replace but for others it is. In the end, it probably comes down to personal choice... If you would like to read what people are saying, I found this good link on an Audi forum: www.a5oc.com/threads/s-tronic-service-confused-re-filter.109394/ Hope it helps! Thanks, Phil
Hi, I’m sorry, I don’t really know the answer to this one. If it was a standard auto box with a torque converter, I would say yes, slipping absolutely can be a result of low fluid level, which would be resolved with a fluid change or top up. However, the s-tronic is a very different beast with multiple clutch plates inside. Normally, an S-tronic gearbox becomes jerky during gear changes when the fluid needs to be changed. I don’t want to alarm you but the issue you describe may be due to a problem with the mechatronic part of the gearbox. There’s lots of information on forums about these units, it really varies depending on the exact symptoms you are experiencing. Sorry I could be more help! Thanks, Phil
Hi, thanks for the info. I haven't had an issue with mine (applied loctite when refitting) but you are right, they are stretch bolts and technically, should have been replaced. I will make this a sticky and have also updted the video description. Thanks, Phil **UPDATE (Credit to MM1989 for the info): The cross brace bolts that are refitted at **18:06** are stretch bolts and technically should have been replaced. If you do want to replace them, the part numbers are as follows: if you have hydraulic power steering you need 6x N91151101, if you have electrical you need 4x N91151101 and 2x WHT005372**
Hi, I did a bit of checking and it seems that if your car is front wheel drive, then it will have a different transmission to the one featured in this video called a CVT. If your car is quattro, then it will have the S-tronic transmission and the work required would be very similar to this video. Hope that helps! Cheers, Phil
@@leonardofelipespischek8243 I see that Audi did drop the CVT in favour of the S-tronic. In that case, the service of your transmission will be very similar to the video but I have never worked on a front wheel drive version, so couldn't say if there are any small differences. Sorry that I can't be more helpful!
Hi Omar, great question, thanks for posting! In short, servicing the gearbox will make it last longer. If you plan to keep the car long term, then servicing may make the transmission last the life of the car without needing a costly rebuild or replacement. If you sell the car, it may be something a future buyer looks for to reassure them that the car has been looked after and is reliable. When I serviced mine, the transmission noticeably shifted smoother and was less jerky at low speed (such as when setting off from a stop). Regarding Dsg / stronic gearboxes, the intervals for the servicing have become longer. Some of them are considered to be “sealed for life” but many independent specialist workshops and members on forums still recommend servicing them. Hope that helps! Thanks, Phil
Hi, the fluid you mentioned does meet TL 052 182 specifications, so theoretically, should be ok. However, this always comes down to personal choice. A lot of owners prefer to go direct to VW/Audi, as they then know 100% that they are using the right oil. Others argue that the spec is the most important thing and that VW/Audi don't make oil. If you want to play it safe, Pentosin FFL-2 is the only other "approved" fluid apart from the VW/Audi OEM fluid and lots of owners use this. Sorry that I didn't give you a clear Yes/No answer, it's just because it comes down to personal choice. If you have the time, do some browsing of VW/Audi forums on this subject. If you don't have the time, my recommendation is to choose the Pentosin or buy from the dealer. Hope that helps! Cheers, RMR
hi dear . i have Audi Q5 8R 2.0T 2014 drove about 95000 km i asked the dealer for transmission oil change but the dealer said no need to change Couse transmission oil is life time oil . as you know its something funny could you help me how many liter need and the oil code to i don't have AUTO DATA so hope you will help me . Thank you
Hi, I think you are right to change the transmission oil. As you can imagine, there is a lot of information out there regarding how much oil from the transmission actually gets changed (does it all drain out?). In my video, I added 5L, then ran the engine/transmission and then added another 650ml and that turned out to be enough. It seems that the maximum capacity is 7L. So, I bought 7L but ended up with one 1L bottle spare (use next time and better to have too much than too little!). I've done some searching and it seems the Audi part number for the OEM oil is G052529A2. If you decide to use fluid from a different supplier, then it should meet TL 052 182 & TL 052 529 spec. A lot of owners seem happy with Motul DCTF. I used MIller oil (check out the video description for details) but I know it isn't available everywhere. I'm pretty sure this is what you need but please do a little bit of checking to make sure this is suitable for your car, I've only ever changed the fluid on my S4!Thanks, Phil
@@ReviveMyRide THANK YOU for your response . i already asked the OEM G052529A2 oil its cast 83 euro per liter its expansive . could you please help me any other oil that i can normally change every 60000Km and not so expansive before i had Q7 2013 and once i changed the gearbox oil that was cast me only 230 euro with filter. i mean i need some guides about my Q5 gearbox oil . thank you .
Hi, If you want to play it safe, then you can use the OEM fluid that you mentioned above or Pentosin FFL-2 (which is also approved by the VAG group) www.pentosin.net/specsheets/Pentosin_FFL-2.pdf A lot of VW/Audi owners go this route for peace of mind. Just check that your car is listed under applications for the fluid. However, it seems a lot of owners are also happy to run Motul DCTF that I mentioned above, which Motul says is "suitable" for this application. There are a lot of other fluids that say that they are suitable but aren't approved by VAG group such as Vaico TF DSG & Febi Bilstein DSG oil. The reason I can't advise further is that really it comes down to personal choice. Are you willing to use a non approved fluid? Best thing you can do is lots of reading on VW & Audi forums, so that you can make an informed choice that you are comfortable with. Thanks, Phil
Lifetime oil means lifetime of transmission, not human life :) Lifetime of transsmisions in TIPTRONIC is approx 9 years or 200 thousand kilometers. It's better to change oil every 100k, better less :). Change oil ASAP.
Hi Andrea, I got it from Hamer Lift. hamercarlift.com/ It is a really good piece of equipment, so it is worth checking out if you are interested in buying a 4 post lift. Main advantages are: it is freestanding, so doesn't need to be bolted down, it doesn't require a power supply, it is very low maintenance. Thanks, Phil
Hi, as this is a transmission oil change, it is time / mileage based and not monitored by the car's computer / ECU. Therefore, there isn't anything that needs to be reset. However, for an engine oil change / service, you can reset the "oil interval" quite easily by scrolling through the menus on the car but for the "service due" indicator that comes up when you turn the ignition on, you need to have this reset at a garage or reset it yourself using a system called Vag-com. I hope this helps! Thanks, Phil
Hi, the capacity is just over 7L, so many people buy 8L to be safe. You will only manage to drain the maximum out if you make sure you remove the fill tube (inside the gearbox and accessed through the drain plug once it is removed) or by dropping the pan (which is what i did) if you plan to change the internal filter at the same time. Please check the video description for the fluid types as there is a lot of information in there. Some fluids are more easily obtained in certain regions and some owners prefer to be from VW / Audi so that they are 100% it is the right oil. Hope that helps! Thanks, Phil
Great video but Jesus, please please please invest in a nice little cordless bit drill if you haven't already! You'll thank yourself! Taking those pan bolts out by hand was murder to watch! Still tho, wonderful video! Keep wrenching brother!
ha ha! Guilty as charged! 😂 You are absolutely right that I need to move with the times. I'm a little old school where I am used to using hand tools only, because then I can "feel" what is going on. However, you are correct, there is little risk when removing bolts from a pan, especially if you have a good quality electric driver with multiple torque settings (which I have!). Look out for me using a power driver in future videos BUT old habits die hard...
