Checking and topping up ATF

Tools





Information

Notes

Note: Fill only with ATF approved by Porsche.

Note: Hot vehicles should cool down before beginning the activity.

Note: Vehicle must be horizontal in order to be filled and checked.

Preliminary work

1. Raise the vehicle at the prescribed jacking points.
2. Place oil collection pan under the transmission.
3. Remove the underbody panels.





4. Unscrew control screw -2-.

Note: To undo and tighten the cap nut for the charging valve, counter with a ring wrench!





5. Screw off cap nut -1- for the charging valve.





6. Screw connection hose 95071 onto charging valve.

Checking and topping up the ATF
^ The transmission must not be in the reduced driving program.
^ The ATF temperature must be between ATF temperature: 30 degrees Celsius and ATF temperature: 40 degrees Celsius. An ATF inspection when the temperature is too high causes insufficient filling, while an inspection when the temperature is too low causes over-filling.
^ The selector lever must be in position "P" and the engine must be idling.
^ The air conditioning must be switched off.
^ The vehicle must stand horizontally.

Note: The ATF temperature at the start of testing must not be higher than ATF temperature: 40 degrees celsius.

1. Connect the PIWIS Tester 97180 and call up the ATF temperature.
2. Put selector lever in position "P", start vehicle, and allow engine to idle.
3. Top up ATF via the charging valve until ATF runs out at the control bore.
4. With the brake pedal pressed, change through all selector lever positions, remaining in each position for approximately Time: 10s.

WARNING: Danger of scalding and chemical burns from hot ATF
^ Allow ATF to cool down
^ Wear personal protective gear (goggles, gloves)

5. Top up with ATF again via the charging valve until ATF runs out at the control bore.

Subsequent work
