2015 Audi Q7 Transmission Service

[RooflessVW]

Hoping someone here has AllData and can hook me up with procedures.

Found the drain plug - in my transmission pan - but no fill plug. Not sure how I'm supposed to add fluid - which is a first for me. The '15 Touareg has two plugs on its drain pan, a small one to drain and a large one with a standpipe for filling which has become pretty standard. I assumed this would be the same but I guess not.

Do I need a fill adapter similar to the DSG?

Thanks for any/all help.

That's for the Aisin 6 speed box for the T1 and T2 Touaregs and 1st Gen 4L Q7.

There's also this, which I have done before and is what I expected to see.

The drain plug you see is actually an overflow pipe. You use a SST (same as the one for the DSG units) to fill the transmission.

That says to use the fill plug which the OP doesn't have.

I believe the OP needs the fill tool which allows you to pump in the fluid through the drain plug. It likely has the little plastic tube inside the drain plug that drains out excess, so that would need to be removed in order to drain out all of the fluid. This has been the case on the most recent Jettas I've done and heard the Audis are similar.

Drain it including the plastic pipe which actually reaches up into the transmission. Drain into a volume/amount marked container.Replace pipe and plug. Go to the top and remove the filter and fill with new fluid into the filter boss. Use the amount that you drained into marked container. Install new filter. This works with many Volkswagen DSG transmissions. Might work with yours.

Not a DSG. Aisin 8 speed.

Filter is in the pan as standard.

Live and learn. I thought Audi went almost exclusively to dual clutch tranny's.

Updating for anyone else that may come across this thread and need help.

The overflow pipe is screwed into the pan, and you can see it after taking the drain/fill plug off.

Remove the plug, then remove the pipe to drain. Reinstall the overflow pipe and use VAS 6262/2 to fill the transmission.
