CAUTION:
Danger of causing damage to the transmission.
- Use only the transmission fluid specifically for the 7-speed DSG transmission 0CG. It is available as a replacement part.
- Using other fluids can cause malfunctions or transmission failure.
- Checking the hydraulic fluid level in the DSG Transmission Mechatronic -J743- is not possible. The vent on the DSG Transmission Mechatronic -J743- must be sealed tight before performing any assembly work.
- Hydraulic fluid that has leaked out of the DSG Transmission Mechatronic -J743- may not refilled.
- Seal off all openings with new plugs from the Repair Kit 5C0 998 152 whenever the hydraulic pipe between the valve block on the DSG Transmission Mechatronic -J743- and the connection for the decoupler for the Electro-Drive Drive Motor -V141- is removed. After installing the hydraulic pipe, add hydraulic fluid via the vent for the Mechatronic --, if necessary. For the correct hydraulic fluid, sealing plugs and disposable syringe from the Repair Kit 5C0 998 152.
- If transmission fluid has leaked out, then it is necessary to perform a transmission fluid replacement. It is not possible to check the fluid level.
- Under filling or overfilling both fluid systems will impair the function of the transmission.
