hokay, i NEED to change my transmission fluid before i do anything because i need to cover the less expensive bases first. I have access to a full garage with lifts oil tubs for drain i mean this garage has EVERYTHING. I have used search and haven't really found anything as to HOW to chagne the fluid and possibly the filter. I know it is a sealed transmission but have read i can buy a special bit to open it up to drain and fill? and what about the filter? It would be great if someone could either tell me or point me to how i can
-drain tranny fluid
-fill up to appropriate levels
-and change filter

I am almost flat outta money and need to be able to fix this myself i just replaced the turbo so i'll be damned if i gotta pay 1k+ to replace this!

I have a 2000 a4 atw 1.8t with a tip transmission

thanks

Kevin

gl!

 

you need the drain plug tool and a vagcom or similar diagnostic software that will allow you to monitor temps. but i dont know the exact process

 

auditech help me out maybe?

 

Go to Blaughparts.com and click on their AT transmission kitsand it will link you to an exact step-by-step instruction manual that has clear visuals on how to do it. Like previously stated, hopefully you have access to a vagcom as this is critical for monitoring fluid levelsat proper ATF tempertature. You will need atleast 6 qts of the required Pentosin ATF.

 

I think you mean Blauparts.com?

 

^ correct.
