To check the fluid level in an Audi 100 automatic transmission, follow these steps:
Materials:
* Rags
* Gloves
* Dipstick for checking the automatic transmission fluid level
Procedure:
1. Warm up the engine and transmission: Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes to warm up the transmission fluid. This will ensure an accurate level measurement.
2. Place the vehicle on a level surface: Park the vehicle on a level surface so that the fluid is evenly distributed in the transmission.
3. Place the shift lever in Park: Place the shift lever in Park (P).
4. Open the hood and find the dipstick: Open the hood and find the dipstick to check the automatic transmission fluid level. The dipstick usually has a red or yellow handle.
5. Remove and wipe the dipstick: Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel.
6. Reinsert the dipstick and pull it out: Insert the dipstick back into the transmission, then pull it out again.
7. Check the fluid level: There will be two marks on the dipstick: “MIN” (minimum) and “MAX” (maximum). The fluid level should be between these marks, closer to the “MAX” mark.
8. Add or drain fluid as necessary: If the fluid level is below the “MIN” mark, you will need to add more fluid. If the fluid level is above the “MAX” mark, the excess fluid must be drained.
9. Use approved fluid: When adding fluid, use only Audi approved automatic transmission fluid.
10. Recheck the level: After adding or draining fluid, recheck the level as described above to ensure it is within the correct range.
Tip: Regularly checking the automatic transmission fluid level is important to ensure proper operation and extend the life of the transmission. It is recommended to check the level every few months or as recommended by the manufacturer.
