Thanks for watching!

No need for a lift, four jackstands was my method for 29 years prior to owning one. I did allow the tires to spin in the air, at idle speed and shifted “manually” through the gears. However if you’re not able to do this simply putting it in gear with the brakes applied should be sufficient as long as you can do so safely & with long enough pauses to properly circulate transmission fluid.

Everyone loves Wookie sounds!

My mk7 is38 video covers it, but next time I do one I’ll film it!

Yes, the stand pipe must be removed to drain the pan prior to removal

@@jakebaun8422 so you warmed up the fluid to proper temp, THEN opened the drain to verify the proper level with stand pipe in?? Can the stand pipe be removed with the pan in?

I have none of that information

which brand of haldex fluid you used for this video thanks

I’m originally from Poland, OH

Did it that way 3 days ago while car was running I let it come to trickle everything running smoothly

It’s been so long since we shot this I’ve got absolutely no clue. I let Ricky use my lift, his Atlas (and he’s the one who pulled the manual/bought the fluids). Absolutely follow whatever factory manual reference you have.

you are correct. I had no drips...turned the car off....suddenly it's flowing out. Start the car....no drips. Filled it with more ATF....then it started to drip out while running. Proper level

No sounds or issues with it serviced correctly (like in the video). During the service I explained how dealer techs often screw this job up (by draining both the Haldex & diff, then only refilling filling only one

@@jakebaun8422 yes when the guy explained it to me and I was like he ran it dry. Trust me I flashed back to when you made fun of certification and all that

@@jakebaun8422 hey does 9.5nm sound right for the bolts for the coupling

Its a disgrace a master mechanic a VW dealer cant do this procedure right

@@jamesworley5073 Yes, 9.5nm if you are talking about the 2 bolts that hold the pump motor in.

Yes all AWD VW are very similar

It has a stand pipe up to the fill level, so the correct amount is left behind below that point (at the correct temperature) since volume increases with temp.

@@jakebaun8422 Thanks yea i seen the plastic piece

No clue, it’s been a long time since we shot this & Ricky looked up / ordered everything (his wife’s Atlas). I’m just the friend who just so happens to have a shop & let him use the lift. FCP euro sells kits for most service jobs like this.

@@BaunPerformance Cool beans, no worries!

Initial fill is 7L. About 3L will drain out, and a bit more if you drop the pan. There is a good writeup in the Atlas forum on the VwVortex site.

It’s in the videos description

I feel like that Swedish made pump wouldn't airlock if you just used a loose fitting tip. I think the tip doubled the amount of time it would take to fill

Obd11

Should fit any AWD MQB

@@jakebaun8422 is it the same transmission?

@@jakebaun8422 even though I have the 2.0 and not 3.6?

@@jakebaun8422 how did you get the transmission up to proper temperature without the scan tool? Just use the oil temperature

@@jakebaun8422 hey just did the Haldex on my 2018 VW Tiguan. Everything went smoothly Now, I have Errors: Electronic Stabilization Control, Hill Hold Assist, Lane assist, Front sensors, Tire Pressure Monitoring, and Park Pilot. I don't know what would cause that systems to have Errors

The Atlas is great for what it is, but mine (& Rick’s) only complaint is lack of power. For your average driver it’s fine, but an enthusiast (or anyone who tows) will want something with more on tap. The VR6 does love boost, but adding a turbo or supercharger would add up to SQ5 money. The new APR turbo sounds great on paper and I hope it’s everything they’re claiming! I’ve been tuned APR since early 2016 on my personal car (stage 1, 2, & now is38). If APR offered to do a partner deal id love to install one and review it vs their is38 file (something I think tons of people would like to see an objective video on), but as for just going out and buying one unfortunately I’ve got house mod plans this spring that’ll keep me from that. Maybe tag them and light a fire under Arin from APR haha

@@BaunPerformance thanks for that info, I’d imagine something as heavy as the atlas really would require more power just so it could get out of its own way. I’ll call apr now and tell em LOL thanks for your insight!

@@SheekTresSesenta haha tell them I’ll even dyno before and after, then run StreerCar Takeover at Zmax dragway to see how much quicker than 115mph the new turbo goes in the 1/4 mile. Power of the consumer market!

@@BaunPerformance hahaha. Dude at apr was like. Who? 😂 At least I tried

@@SheekTresSesenta props for actually trying haha. I guess they’re not in the loop at a grass roots level, because my reach on the golfmk7.com forums and amongst track enthusiasts is definitely out there. As far a KZfaq and IG influencers go I’m nobody, so totally understandable.

It’s a Austin Powers reference, that I guess you didn’t get

@@BaunPerformance yea sure buddy. We all know you have used those pumps for years...

$300-400ish depending on your location. Some dealers price gouge double that

​@BaunPerformance That's why you call them STEALERS. My local STEALER said close to $900. I politely said, GFY. I'll buy the fluid, filter and gasket and get it done with my local mechanic.

The VW kit alone is over $500. That gasket, from VW, is something like $75, the filter is $114, and the VW fluid is in the range of $44/qt. It is an Aisin 8 speed, so the Aisin or Toyota WS fluid is probably okay, at closer to $11/qt.

This wasn’t that planned out, just shot some footage servicing my buddies wife’s Atlas before work (I had just enough time to make it in for 2nd shift at my aircraft mechanic job). Sorry to disappoint, just figured I’d show the how & the why. In 40k when we do the next service if I have time I’ll update with the specs.

@@jakebaun8422 No worries. Just getting ready to do all this service on our Atlas and was looking for specifics. Thanks

Give your VIN number at your local VW dealer. They'll know how much quarts it needs, the right fluid , filter and bolts.

@@stevem6711 check the repair manual dumbo

No!

@@BaunPerformance can you tell the type of each please

Yes

No!

@@jakebaun8422 can you tell the type of each please

Anything specific would be in the video, so that’ll be your best reference. The bevel box and rear differential take gear oil, and the Haldex takes thinner specific fluid. Sorry I don’t have details handy off the top of my head, not only is that not my Atlas, but also not the type of work I do as I’m a full time aircraft mechanic & part time fabrication shop (don’t do any car maintenance outside of helps buddies like Rick).

Because who’s saying it was correct in the first place

No I don’t

@@jakebaun8422 how can we get one ?

10k views and you’re the only one having trouble attempting to talk shit in the comments. Better luck on your third edit 😂

@@BaunPerformance Sure, Halla-dicks

Ricky had that information on hand the day we filmed this. If it’s not in the video, I don’t have it.

Go to your local VW dealer and with the VIN number they'll give you all details and right parts. I checked with my local dealer and was told between 6 and 8 Quarts.

YES SIR! 😂

My friend brought his wife’s Atlas over & we filmed what time allowed of the service. The main focus was pointing out what people (VW techs included) mess up the differential & Haldex service. This is a light hearted, one take, couple guys in the shop after work, but before plans our wives made afterwards time limited video. If you want a step by step with graphics and manual references, part numbers, torque specs, ECT this particular video isn’t it

@@BaunPerformance The video is great overall, what I meant is you already spent so much time creating it, so including final step of releasing the drain plug would make it whole, but regardless I did mine and had funny result. After replacing the filter in the transmission, filled back with 3L, heated to 36'C, released the plug and nothing came out for 3 sec, then barely anything, but I wanted to do the flush anyway, so removed the internal pipe, and let the mixture of old fluid from tq conv with that 3L of fresh fluid out, and re-filled again with 3L. Heated again to 36'C and now after removing drain plug, the fluid was coming out long due to 0.5in pan, and 0.5 in filter, so 2nd time without removing pan 3L is way too much.

You can get a lemon from any manufacturer, I’ve owned 18 Volkswagens & never had any issues.
