Checking ATF Level in Tiptronic
Transmission.
Maintaining the correct level of automatic trans-
mission fluid is extremely important for both the
efficiency and the service life of transmissions.
The level can be seen from the transparent ex-
pansion tank at the rear end of the transmission
housing. With the transmission at operating tem-
perature, the fluid level must be between the
minimum and maximum marks.
For checking, the car must be level. Move the
selector lever to position "N" and let the engine
idle .
If the transmission has been accidentally over-
filled with fluid, this should be drained off imme-
diately .
If there is no transmission fluid in the trans-
mission, the engine should not be started, and
nor should the car be towed.
