Transmission fluid
 

Any one know how to check trans fluid ina 01 Audi A6 4.2l V8 -- is there a leaver that you pull out like the oil and does anyone know how to add some trans fluid into the car -- please let me know -- thanks

Re: Transmission fluid
 

The transmission is sealed.

No dipstick to check, no way to check the level. If it is leaking around the gaskets or you're having other transmission trouble describe them.

Why are you wanting to add fluid?

I need to add about 2 Liters of fluid bc I toke the front end off and toke the rad off and started it without thinking and it spilled the transmission fluid now I need to add to get it topped up.

If going to the trouble, you might as well do a trans service. Purchase the trans pan and filter kit and ~6L fluid (~$20/L @ dealer).

Hoist vehicle, remove trans pan, clean pan and mating surfaces, install new filter, re-install pan, use oil pump to push new fluid vertical inside the fill hole found on bottom of trans pan, install fill plug, start engine and shift thru all gears with foot on brake, use VAG to read trans fluid temp and when it reaches 30C, fill again until fluid drips out fill hole. Now trans is full.
