6. Remove O-ring from connection of
the ATF charging device for CVT gearboxes
.

Caution! Risk of filling up gearbox
incorrect:
The connection must be screwed hand
tight all the way into the inspection hole on
the gearbox with the O-ring removed.
The O-ring must be removed at the
connection so that the fluid level pipe in
the inspection hole can be pressed into the
upper position. Only then can the ATF level
be checked and topped up to the maximum
correctly.

7. With O-ring removed, screw connection of
ATF charging device for CVT gearboxes
hand tight all the way into
threaded hole for ATF inspection plug. This
will push the fluid level pipe into the correct
installation position.
8. Turn stopcock in direction of filling hose
. The ATF will run into the
gearbox.
9. Fill 5.5 to 6.0 L of ATF into gearbox.
10. Move selector lever to “P”.
