Anyone know of a DIY for changing the atf in and automatic transmission? I going to do it on a 1998 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro.

Thanks.

 

TRY WWW.BLAUPARTS.COM they have and show anything you will want to know as for the fluid you can use royal purple max atf or mobil one atf both of these are G-052-025-A2 AND ARE COMPATABLE WITH THE VEHICLE YOU HAVE. you will pay half the cost for these fluids as compared to audi...... JUST A HINT...BUY A COUPLE MORE QUARTS THAN YOU THINK YOU NEED

 

anyone know if there is a cheaper way to get the parts you need for an ATF change?

 

I found the gasket and filter kit at pep boys they also had a castrol fluid with the correct fliud number..........MAJOR SAVINGS

 

+1 on getting more atf than suggested.

 

any suggestions on doing it without a vag-com or any diagnostic system? the blau site says to check for dripping at certain temps after you fill. is that really necessary

 

BUMP! I dont have the 350$ vag and i need to do a tranny flush. Should i just run it hot to get as much out as possible to drain. Then let it cool and fill it until it comes out, then runt he gears, fill, run the gears, fill again? HELP!

 

you can use vcds lite and a $10 amazon cable. i got mine running. going to be doing this same thing this week depending on the weather. be careful filling it! its not a normal fill plug

 

Ive heard the whole drain/flush/fill is not reccomended. I forget why but I do recall hearing bad stories. I think your best off with a drain/fill.

You also need special tools for the plugs.

 

I believe it's some absurdly large 12-point safety bit. ECS should have them. I need to drain/flush/fill my gear oil as well..
