Hey guys..
I opened up the transmission gear oil by mistake... a real silly thing to do.. but the good thing is i realised it before i drove off my car to wreck...
But although i did look at the link in audiworld to fill the oil but I cant find the opening... http://www.audiworld.com/tech/misc.html

If you could let me know....By some another pic..
Mine is A4-1996 FWD 1.8T

Thanx guys

 

[:@] that sucks man ill see if i got a better pic in my bently manual

 

hey thanx man..
lemme knw asap.. coz my car is at rest till then

 

well the pics in the manual look like the pics from the auid world tech article sorry i wasnt any help did u search this forum ?

 

I found a bigger nut which needs 17mm allen to open....(I used the 8mm allen to open a nut just few cm in front of the bigger one which drained the trans fluid) ..
So Is that 17mm the one from where I fill in the fluid,..In that case I ll probably have to pump it back in thru there!!
Also could you tell me which type of fluid I need., I did check other posts... and one said to use oil specific to car?? wat does it mean --So could I use the one that is GL-5 specific??
plz lemme knw asap...
thanx

My car is audi a41.8t fwd 1996 model.

Thanx hawk... man u r always helpin me out..thanx....
I ordered those.... But I actually was looking for something I cud get the same day.... my bad luck. no one keeps it at any local stores..

 

You could go to the VW parts dept and pick it up. It is about 15 dollars a liter and you will need at least 2.

filling the tranny is a PITA. the car has to be level fluid slightly warm (49 degrees C with a VAG temp reading, and you have to squirt it into the fill area until it just overflows.

However, you have now changed the fluid (at least what was in the pan) and you are good for another 30K miles or so.

 

The tramsmission should be around 105 degees F. I have 106K mi. on the origonal fluid.
