Audi Q7 Transmission Fluid Replacement DIY (2007-2015 Audi Q7 4L TDI 8-Speed Transmission Service)

Рет қаралды 67,262

Күн бұрын

► Audi's first-generation Q7 is a competent four-wheel-drive SUV suited for long trips and towing. Whether you've just purchased a Q7, or are doing routine maintenance on one you've already owned, this simple job goes a long way to refresh and prolong the life of your vehicle. This big diesel Audi uses an 8-speed Aisin-built unit to turn its torque into drive, and the fluid inside the transmission will eventually wear. Replacing the fluid at Audi's specified interval will ensure the life of your gearbox and will likely prevent very costly repairs.
Automatic transmissions from this era of Audi don't have the best reputation. The ZF 5HP was reliable for one thing: blowing up. The Aisin transmission has proven to be the better unit, but it still requires proper maintenance for a long life. The replacement process is nearly as simple as any other oil change you might have to make, and the results will go a long way for the health of your Q7.
Follow along as Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, takes on a transmission fluid replacement on an Audi Q7 TDI.

Very useful tech video, I had no idea how easy it was to change out everything in the video. I also replaced the pan and cover along with all the bolts, and I also replaced the splash guard shield . Only bcuz I had it apart and figured why not I'm down here doing it anyway and I like keeping things new . Thank you guys for helping me out with all your DIY videos, you make it easy to follow along and take notes back into the garage while I'm diong my repairs... "GREAT DIY VIDEO's"

Great idea to have the transmission and differential fluids changed, I have a 2010 3.0 ltr v6 diesel with 170,000 miles, always serviced at a dealer, I kept mentioning about changing the high milage fluids, they always said no need to, it will last the lifetime of the car. Since I had it changed with the filters it runs like new, so if you want your car to last longer and run better, get it changed, and find a good mechanic that will do it.

Am looking at a 2013 Q7. It has 135k miles on her. Searching around to see what kinds of maintenance and repairs an owner can do to avoid the stealership prices. Doesn’t look hard, just time consuming. This apparently isn’t a “shade tree mechanic” job with all the in and out of the car, temp checks, the multiple liters of fluid that seems to be wasted, etc. At least it only has to be done around every 50-60k miles or so. So about 6 years for me (I work from home). Worth paying someone with a lift to do it. Good, informative video.

I did exact same transmission oil and filter change job for 2016 A7 with TDI engine. I filled the oil without pump, and using long break hose and funnel, channeling from engine bay. After leveling the car I started to fill the pan but only after 2.75 quarts it started spilling out from fill plug (means its filled). It gave me doubts that only 2.75 quarts, as I was expecting 4 to 6 at least? I just finished this job and haven't started the car yet because of this situation if it is an abnormal situation. I will start when I will feel comfortable. Please share your experience with 2016 TDI A7 if you had any. Is it normal and I should go ahead and start the car and it will take more (4 to 5 quarts) after?

You should show how to flush the transmission at the same time .... all you do is disconnect the transmission cooling line and after you have changed filter and filled the oil start the car and runn the fluid out until I changes colour if it starts to sputer before changing colour turn of and refill the transmission with oil and do it again after its running nice and red switch of refill the transmission and then go through the process of getting the fluid as you shown here It's nice to get all the oil out of the torque converter

I think all of the 4.2L Q7s came with the six speed, not the eight speed, so it would be slightly different.

@fcpeuro Жыл бұрын

The best thing to do if you want to flush those out would be to drive the vehicle a bit and then perform another fluid flush. If the service intervals are maintained properly moving forward that will be more than sufficient to keep a healthy fluid status in the whole system.

@machete417 Жыл бұрын

Agreed, looking into this. Looking for an adapter for the cooler return line. Think imma flush/exchange it from there. Not just a drain and fill. Trying to make this touareg solid💪

There is no such thing, these require a service interval just like any other fluids. Lifetime fluid is a coined term that a lot of dealers use which typically only applies to vehicles when they are under warranty.
