Quick! Need torque spect on trans pan New/Used 2000 A6 4.2L AWD
Sorry in advance, I tend to ramble...
Just bought the other day my first Audi. It's got some issues, but the price was right so I brought it home.
A service manual is going to be a major first priority but in the meantime I wanted to service the transmission with a filter and fluid change. Thankfully I did find this other post that gave helpful insight in where to find a tutorial on servicing the Audi A8 ATF audipages A8 Automatic Transmission Servicing
After reading that article, I put together my shopping list and headed to the store. Hardly any of the local parts stock our parts, I asked several places about the $20 a bottle synthetic ATF that I needed, and they all scratched their heads, even the trans filter and gasket kit had to be ordered... But I found one place that had pretty much all that I needed locally, O'Reilly Auto Parts! They stocked the WIX filter kit w/the rubber pan gasket, and the Pentosin brand ATF L1 fluid... But back on the A8 tutorial article, with some of the tools listed. One, being the modified torx T27... Turns out (on my car at least, see pix below) the transmission pan doesn't have the exhaust interference they mentioned, and too the pan bolts on my car is T25 size. They did mention for the T27 bolts to torque at 7-9 ft. lbs. I don't know, I guess if I don't get confirmation on here today I may go ahead and use those specs. My questions was with the difference in the torx screw sizes, maybe it would be a diffrence, idk...
So yeah, really what I need here is the trans pan bolt tightening torque specs. Last night I had pulled the drain plug and let it drain out overnight like the article specified. I only got maybe about a total of 4 quarts, not the 6 to 7 like they mentioned... But Boy, look at the pix below and see how black the fluid is,It's like used motor oil! Today Im dropping the pan and installing the new gasket and finger tightening the pan bolts. Having a service manual would come in handy, If someone here ca6n look up the torque specks I'd really appreciate it. But too, I did a quick search online, Is there a pdf download of the A6 C5 1997 to 2004 service manual? I did see a link to the online service manual, boy what a joke that is... On that Audi A8 article he was using some computer data base like manual. Anyone recognize it, and where can I find it?
