Auto Box Oil

[wood73]

I have replaced the engine in my v6, the engine i put in came out of a manual golf, upon swapping the auto box over i lost most of the gearbox oil.

I have read various posts and some say fill to level with engine running and some just say fill to level.

i have just filled to level with engine off, it was fine for a couple of miles but then started changing up and down willy nilly.

so back to the point, can someone give me a definative answer - do you fill to level with engine running or not?

by the way local fraud dealer(evans halshaw, wrexham) said what do you want to change the oil for? then said theyed have to get back to me when he has checked procedure!.

certainly for the AG4 gearbox, get the oil up to running temp ..... before topping up

 

Note:

The transmission will not function properly if it does not contain the correct quantity of transmission fluid. The transmission fluid is added while the engine is running.

our autobox has juststarted playing up changing up and down when it wants to not when it should. also taking a long time to change.

 

was told to top up the transmission fluid. but where do you fill it up or check the level?
