How to check the transmission fluid in A 03 vw 2.0 litter?

Answer 1

The Cayenne transmission is a "sealed unit" that has fluid that is never supposed to need replaced. I don't tust any lubricant to last a lifetime but it is a pain to drain and fill and the Porsche fluid is extremely expensive. The transmission is designed with a drain (larger) and a filler (smaller) on the bottom of the pan. Draining the fluid will only remove about half of the fluid in the system, the rest remaining in the troque converter and the transmission cooling lines. With a Porsche special quick filler you add fluid to through the filler to a warm transmission until it begins to overflow and leak out.

AnswerThe short answer is it cannot be checked. The longer answer is there is a plug on the transmission that you take off, and when the tranmission gets up to a certain temp tranny fluid will start weeping out of the hole. The temp has to be monitored by a scan tool to do this properly. i would take it to an import shop that works on these frequently. They will have all the knowhow and equipment to do this properly.

Answer 3

The Transmission Fluid is checked with the transmission dipstick. The dipstick is yellow handled and is at the rear of the engine. The dipstick is marked with high and low marks, the fluid needs to be between these marks when sitting on level ground.

Answer 4

The transmission is a "sealed" unit. On the passenger side of the engine, you'll see a button looking device that says, Dealer Use Only. It's near the engine, before the firewall. This is where the transmission oil gets checked. You need a special Mercedes dip stick that you can find online for about $40.

Use this wacky new invention called the "dip stick". Pull it out, wipe it off, re-insert, pull out again, read oil level. Magic!

Answer 9

If its an automatic it is a sealed transmission and has to be taking to the dealer and hooked up to their computer to check the fluid level.
