Checking Fluid Levels: Notes
NOTE:
ATF level is affected by ATF temperature. Checking ATF level at too low a temperature leads to overfilling. Checking ATF level at too high a temperature leads to under filling. Overfilling or under filling transaxle can lead to transaxle malfunction.
NOTE:
When ATF level is checked, the seal on the level plug must always be replaced. VAG Scan Tool (1551) and Diagnosis Cable (1551/3B) are required to check ATF level. Scan tool is used to measure ATF temperature. Follow aftermarket scan tool manufacturer instructions (if applicable) to check ATF temperature.
