Order of execution
1. Raise and support the vehicle in a horizontal position.
2. Unscrew the 17 mm Allen screw.
3. If a little gear oil is already poured out at the same time, the oil level is in order.
4. Insert a finger into the threaded hole and check by touch that the lubricant reaches the hole - the oil level is sufficient.
5. If there is even less oil, add gear oil of the correct grade at a gas station or car service.
6. Audi requires oils of viscosity grade SAE 75 W-90 with specification G 052 911. Unlike the gear oils used in older Audi models, this is a synthetic oil.
Tip: Top up very thick gear oil yourself using a funnel and a long hose (even if it's warm) is a real test of patience. Therefore, we do not recommend doing this. It is better to use special refill tanks with a connected hose.
screw plug (1) oil level control in a manual gearbox is located at half the height of the gearbox housing.
Threaded drain plug (arrow) located under the gearbox.
