Does Audi Provide a Warning for Low Transmission Fluid?
1 Answers
Audi does not provide a warning for low transmission fluid. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly replace the transmission fluid. Excessive usage time or mileage can cause the transmission fluid to deteriorate, reducing its lubrication effectiveness. This can lead to increased wear and tear on internal transmission components, affecting the shifting performance of the automatic transmission. Signs that indicate the need for transmission fluid replacement include: vehicle shaking, jerky gear shifts; a transmission overheating warning on the dashboard; engine stalling; and unusual noises. The methods for replacing transmission fluid are as follows: Loosen the drain screw at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid before refilling. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain and refill the fluid: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities accumulated at the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to replace automatic transmission fluid: A smart circulation machine performs dynamic fluid replacement, filtering and cleaning sludge and impurities within the automatic transmission. Hazards of not replacing transmission fluid for an extended period: 1. Damage to the transmission's shift control mechanism; 2. Abnormal wear on gears and clutch plates inside the transmission; 3. Impaired transmission operation, leading to damage to the transmission valve body.
