AUDI A6 1997 C5 / 2.G 01E Transmission Oil Level Checking Workshop Manual

34-39


Oil level in transmission,
checking

Note:

When checking the oil level in the transmission,
the vehicle should be standing on a perfectly
horizontal surface. An inspection pit or a 4-post
lifting platform is ideal.
The prescribed oil level is to be adhered to
exactly; the transmission reacts very sensitively
to over-filling.
If a transmission with transmission oil cooling
(e.g. 2.7 ltr bi-turbo) has been removed, the
vehicle must be driven a short distance on the
road before checking the transmission oil level.

Vehicles with V6 bi-turbo engine - Remove oil filler plug -B- (in front of drive flange) to check transmission
oil level.
- Check oil level with a suitable tool (such as a length of wire bent to
shape).

Specification: oil level 7 mm 1 mm below bottom lip of oil filler
hole.
- Fill up with gear oil if necessary. Specification Page 00
