Fill till drips out of fill plug.
Torque:
Drain:35NM
Fill: 35 NM

Thanks!!!

 

Sounds OK, I had it done by a shop (no famous VW drain-plug tool) so not sure about fill levels. I also put MT-90 in the gearbox/trans. case (they share the fluid and that's why it has to be GL-4) and RoyalPurple MaxGear in diff. I remember buyin 3 bottles of MT-90 and 2 bottles of RP MG 75W90

 

i never heard of the "fill 7mm below the hole" thing. i just filled mine up till it started coming out. i dont think that is terribly important. the quantities are correct though. make sure you buy the drain plug tool, and always remove the fill plug before the drain plug. if you cant get the fill plug off dont drain the fluid out, you have no way of replacing it.

 

It is mentioned on page 37 of maintenance description of work of the FSM....and says not to overfill beyond that mark... I saw it on another audi forum...

 

i didnt say you were incorrect, i just said i dont think that is terribly important to be exactly 7mm below. good luck.

 

I know...I am just passing along the informaiton.
