Topping Off the ATF

• If no ATF leaks out of the ATF check and fill hole -arrow A- before the ATF reaches 40 °C (104 °F):

-- Place rags near the ATF-check and fill opening and on top of both right front exhaust pipes that have cooled off.

-- Install the Oil Filler - Jointed Hose:VAS6262/5  on top of both front exhaust gas pipes in the ATF-check and fill opening -arrow-.

-- Fill the ATF using the adapter until the ATF starts to leak out of the check and fill hole.

-- Use Socket Wrench SW19:T10455  and a torque wrench to tighten the new sealing plug -A- for ATF-check and fill opening.

Additional work steps are listed below for vehicles where the right cylinder bank has been shut off manually.

-- Connect the hose -1- for the crankcase ventilation and have it secured.

-- In order to prevent causing damage, do not hit the engine cover with your fist or tool.

-- First, use both hands to press down on the engine cover on the back on the ball pins; then, use both hands to press down on the front on the ball pins, this time, in the opposite direction of the -arrow-.

All:

-- End "Guided Functions" 02 - ATF Level Check with 12-Cylinder Engine (Repair Group 37)  on the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester

-- Clean the front exhaust pipes and transmission and completely remove ATF residue.

The ATF level test is now completed.
