Checking Transmission Fluid

RE: Checking Transmission Fluid
The unit is sealed and there is no dipstick.
To check the level, there is a fill hole on the bottom. Basically, with the car perfectly level and the tranny fluid at approximately 42 degrees C, you pump in fluid until it drips out the hole which gives the correct level.

RE: Checking Transmission Fluid
My question comes because I have a leak, looks like from around the rear pinion seal. I'm having it looked at on Tuesday, just wanted to find out if I have a fluid-level problem now, and if I shouldn't drive till I take it in. It's been leaking for about 3 or 4 weeks. Not a large mess yet, but a little leaking oil/fluid goes a long way, and gets on everything as the drive shaft spins. Thanks for the response.

RE: Checking Transmission Fluid
i had a leak before, it was low and my trans slipped alot....so if ur car drives fine then ur fine to drive it ...........have them replace the fluid in there it will shift much better. audi says its liftime but thats B.S.
just dont take it to the stealership to have this done....they will rip u off. find a good local euro mechanic.
