differential AUDI A4 1999 B5 / 1.G Engine Oil Level Checking Workshop Manual

6-spd. manual transmission 01E all wheel
drive

Note:

For checking oil level the vehicle must be
stationary and on a level surface (e.g engine
off, standing on an alignment lift).
The oil level must be kept at the specified level.
The transmission may be damaged by over-
filling.

CAUTION!
If the oil level is too low, the transmission must be checked for leaks
and repaired. It is not sufficient to just top off oil.
CAUTION!
Part numbers are for reference only. Always check with your Parts
Dept. for the latest parts information. - Remove filler plug -B-, on differential cover, in front of drive axle flange.
- Check oil level using tool such as angled wire.

CAUTION!

Tires of same type and tread pattern must be
used on cars with All Wheel Drive (otherwise
risk of damage to central differential).

- Check tread wear pattern:
Tread wear pattern on front tires is an indication
of whether toe and camber settings need to be
checked:
"Feathering" on tread indicates incorrect toe.
If tread is worn on one side, this is usually
caused by incorrect camber.
If wear of this nature is noticed, check wheel
alignment.
