Procedure
- Warm up gear oil in front final drive to approximately 60°C by performing a short road test.
- Drive vehicle onto a 4-column lift or over a work pit.

Note: The vehicle must be on a level surface.

- Place VAG 1306 drip tray underneath.

Note: Loosen locking bolt using an angled socket-head wrench, but do not use 3247 hex ball socket. For improved accessibility it may be necessary to remove the heat shield and drive axle and to set them aside.
If 3247 hex ball socket is used for loosening the bolt, it could be destroyed.

- With engine switched off, allow gear oil to drip out for approximately 2 minutes.
Oil level is correct when the front final drive is filled up to lower edge of oil filler hole.
- Let excessive gear oil drain or top up gear oil.

Note: Replace locking screw with seal.

- When the oil level is correct, tighten locking bolt using 3247 hex ball socket (8mm socket) to 30 Nm.
