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

[@BrianCurrivan-q8o]

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"

[@kdovydas1]

Very clearly explained tutorial without rushing and unnecessary talks. Many thanks. Will give it a go in a few days. Keep these vids coming. Respect!

[@skywest1432]

You guys are amazing. I recently shop from your website. Everything came really fast and fit into my vehicle. Thank you for your helpful videos.

[@markbryan8574]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I suggested this a while ago. I did it myself on my 15 Q7 supercharged v6. hardest part was draining to the check level.

[@paulbaker6251]

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.

[@mohitkatta7117]

I have same car 2014 model with 90000 miles tommorow i am getting differential fluid change did it make tremendous difference to you Should i also get transmission fluid change Thanks for any input

[@m1cajah]

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.

[@ozzypawsborneprinceofbarkness]

I did this without the proper fill tool. All it took was a valve stem with the core removed, an adapter for an air hose, some fish tank air line, an o ring, a PCV adapter, and a cheap manual fluid pump. BUY THE TOOL!

Great video and love how detailed you are, well done! I have to ask you if you or any of the followers have ever experienced this noise on their Q7. Mine happens between 1000-2000 rpm… kzbin.infofg8328OfU4w?feature=share

Great video! Can't get any better than this

[@gjpapad]

awesome job ,thanks for the webinar

[@dave_adamson]

Audi dealership told me it was a lifetime fluid and they don't change it. Glad this video popped up I will doing this soon to my q7

[@mellamobradleyy]

I have 200k miles on my 15 and just changed it. Fluid was still in good shape and no metal... Not worth the time IMO

[@dave_adamson]

@@mellamobradleyy thank you for the information I'll hold off for now only have 95k

[@mohitkatta7117]

@@mellamobradleyydid it make any difference in smoother shifting or reducing vibration etc

[@chofocortes2423]

Can you do second part of the audi when u clean all the black stuff on the intake please

[@billturner6564]

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

[@CesarFederici]

Awesome content 👌🏻👍🏻 Just checking - how many litres did you end up using?

[@scottdrobny8826]

This worked perfectly, thanks! Now.. I don't suppose you'd want to use my car as the Video demo for replacing the entire transmission? I'd buy the trans and drive there... wherever there is.

[@DavidLee-wx1ku]

Love your thorough videos. Do you have a video on how to change the transmission mount on an Audi Q7 TDI?

[@errlcup1561]

Can you link us to the pump you used to get the fluid back in please

[@fcpeuro]

Hi Earl, that is available by searching CTA7400 on FCPEuro.com.

[@sargentboy]

Thank you! This video was a life saver.

[@howardjordan8838]

Great job, does this also apply to the 4.2l engine?

[@nickanderson537]

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

[@johnstopford9633]

The V8 TDI 4.2 is the same 8 speed trans as I have the same Q7 model and year.

[@terrymarsh8094]

Thanks Mike and FCP great content

EXCELLENT gotdam video! Helped me out a lot!

[@fcpeuro]

Glad to hear it!

[@DiogoP]

Can this procedure be applied to a late 2011 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid, with the Tiptronic S 8 Speed Transmission?

[@IDontHaveAVideo]

I don't think that Aisin WS carries the G 055 540 A2 specification that Audi/VW requires for the 0C8 8-speed automatic. Other than that, awesome video!

[@justascott]

What about the trans fluid in the lines and cooler?

[@topcat1399]

You can never get to it unless you do some crazy shit. If you're concerned just change the fluid again after

[@fcpeuro]

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]

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💪

[@richardbutterfield7399]

Hi can you please do one on a mercedes SL500 - 2015 MODEL ( R231 ) Transmission oil change 0

[@fcpeuro]

Hi Richard! We do have a few 722.9 service videos on our channel!

[@tiengwootong1552]

Great video! Thank you for sharing and may I ask after all process roughly how many litres fluid exactly needed for this gearbox? Appreciate your inputs. Many thanks

[@ramial-haj]

what type of transmission fluid for Q7 2013 TFSI do you recommend

[@topcat1399]

Awesome diy!!!!

[@fcpeuro]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@eldinglavic6493]

8 liters atf??

[@davidlonergan1056]

What size are the actual transmission pan boots? I notice you said 10 mm I’d like to replace so need to buy some. Do you have an actual size?

[@fcpeuro]

Here you go! www.fcpeuro.com/products/vw-bolt-genuine-vw-wht005511

Is the process the same for the 3.0TFSI q7 4L? I have a 2012 prestige model.

[@naruttaanime9471]

Hi can you give model number of autel & the fluid tank/ pump kit? Will the same autel do the brake fluid bleed, tpms / add lost smart key fobs with comfort access?

[@fcpeuro]

The key fob job, is not something it may not be able to do, but everything else will be no problem with the Autel we were using!

[@TukanCustoms]

Im not 100% sure i understood good. So with final topping up you refilling gearbox with engine running, gearbox on park and temperature between 35-45degrees celcius? Engine must be running? Or could be on park turned off with temperature 35-45? Thanks in advance

[@tahirotahir]

Would you know if it is going to be same engine, transmission, parts and procedure on 2016 Audi A7 TDI

[@doughuang3969]

I can’t find those bolts” screws for the transmission pan and that drain bolt can I reuse them or need new ones ?

[@howardjordan8838]

He reuses the old drain bolt, the little green tube like thingy that he screws back into the pan.

[@thelastslime3007]

Hello FCP EURO Great Video content for the Q7 Would this be the same for a 2013 Audi Q7 prestige?

[@superbrute]

It should be exactly the same. 2011-2015 q7 all had the same 8 speed aisin transmission.

[@JustasG]

@@superbrute everywhere it is written that from facelift 2009 gearbox is zf, not aisin 😊

[@amNoah6113]

Is this process works for the 3.6 gasoline?

[@nickanderson537]

I'm pretty sure all of the 3.6L had the six speed since the 3.6L stopped in 2008 and the eight speed wasn't introduced until 2011.

[@IrinelIoanPaveleanu]

hi i have an audi q7 2009 and i wana change the gear oil but they say you need to reinstal soft for the gearbox its that true ?

[@johnstopford9633]

Just wondering what Autel MaxiCheck tool your using model plz. As i Have the Q7 with the 4.2L TDI with an 8 speed trans.

[@tahirotahir]

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?

[@edgaryugsi8065]

At the dealer says transmission not need new fluid because is a lifetime fluid is that true??

[@fcpeuro]

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.

[@TukanCustoms]

Bulls*it. Every oil losting parameters during time and age. Same eco bulls*it everywhere. Thinking this way, engine oil is lifetime as well?

[@liorweisspi]

your video show you put 10 liters but the kit you sell for this vehicle only has 6 bottles.

[@williebehave6764]

What type of autel is great for an 2010 audi q7 tdi

Hi Willie, we have a couple options available over on FCPEuro.com. Any of the scanners will be a great addition to your tools.

[@kdoran709]

I put in 8L and now I’m waiting for this small dribble lol. Already lost a steady litre after initial fill dammit haha

[@kdoran709]

Update, after putting in 8 litres initially.. I have now drained off 5 litres waiting to get a small dribble

[@PapiQaz]

​@@kdoran709 wowsers

[@slimtim555]

@@kdoran709 had this happen to me too, why would you pump in 8L if you only caught like 4-5L draining. The math isn't mathing

[@ramial-haj]

Hi there May I ask you, what is the moder and year of your car as I am planning to do it on my car?

[@slimtim555]

Why would you pump 8L in if you only caught 4-5L when drained? Just like another person in the comments, I pumped in 8 and drained off like 5L waiting for the first dribble seems like a HUGE waste

[@mokarrommolla5820]

Audi service says “no service transmission fluid”

[@jimw3799]

I think the Audi manual says the trans fluid is lifetime. I'm not sure I agree with anything being a lifetime, but changing every 50k seems excessive???

[@alfredo6494]

DSG transmissions are every 60k so, not out of the question

[@matteo692]

Senza macchinario dal Lavaggio ne scarichi 4 litri su 9 . Non è un buon lavoro !!!!

Great job but please stop saying go ahead it doesn't mean anything. every single one of the 687 times you said it, the sentence would have meant he exact same thing without out it. Just a bad habit.

You gotta check out some of the mk7 videos where they use a 90 degree hook pick. I swear he says 90 degree hook pick 900 times instead of just saying pick 😂

What is the pan part number? My 2009 Q7 transmission pan got bent so I need to try to find the correct one. I've already ordered 3 of them that are not right one
