So today in wonderful Atlanta traffic my transmission coolant hose connecting to my radiator separated and sprayed transmission fluid on my turbo. therefore catching on fire, which in turn lights other things on fire in the middle of traffic. to get me out of traffic the wonderful cop says that they aren't waiting on a wrecker and pushes my car through the intersection. so my bumper is messed up. then I get it towed and it takes forever to get the car on the trailer. then while bringing it back home. the trailer gets t-boned with my car on it. both trailer axles broke from the side impact. my car slammed into the front and side of the trailer so new wheels and bumper. so in one day. my car gets towed twice, car catches on fire, and gets in an accident. oh and this is one week after getting it back up and running.
So now the new question is how to fill up the transmission with fluid once again. heard it was sealed?

 

maybe the universe is trying to tell you something....


spend money on lottery tix?

 

Is it telling me that i shouldn't be driving an audi..... i hope not i love my car. even after all its gone through

 

oh my Jesus Christ.

 

If you have a Tip tranny then, yeah, it's sealed. You'll need a pump of some sort and a 5/8" allen socket for the drain plug.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking LOL.

 

Holy ****, over. At least YOU'RE ok man. Sorry about the car, after all that it sounds like insurance would cover at least something?

 

Wow, that is some bad Karma going on there.

Anyway, you're okay so that's the important part.

The fill plug on the tip requires a 17mm hex socket and I think the drain plug is 8mm hex.

Here's the DIY. Good luck man!

 

Break the fill plug free first. You don't wanna drain it and find you can't open the fill plug (it's been known to happen).

 

Thanks for the advice guys. I should be getting a new bumper out of it at least.
