[@dvcavall]

Thanks for the adaption info. Tried it on mine, together with the accelerator held down, key on procedure, and it seemed to help. Had issues with the transmission working properly, but just did the 104k service and haven't ever repaired it, so grateful for that. Suggestions: More "how to" videos, and more reviews of newer Audi models and issues with them for those of us thinking of getting something new. Had I known about the CVT back in 2008, may have avoided it.

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

My 0AW transmission needed a T60 i think to crack open the drain bolt. Didnt need a fancy one with a hole in it and there was only 1 bolt. The same hole is used to drain and fill the transmission. I think it's worthwhile updating this video because you can leave the pump connected while you turn on the car and let it get up to temp. Once it's up to temp, remove the tool, drain any excess and put the plug in and you're done.

[@joelnrs]

Your humor is under rated

[@vanjavanjavanja]

i have same CVT transm., with the same vibrations on the load and everyone I talk about it said it's cvt failure, but finaly found out by myself that all vibrations was caused by bad cv joints... swaped cv jouints and no vibrations at all...

[@panzerveps]

I usually just start it up with the filling tool attached, then lift it up while it's running and take the filling tool off. You don't have to wait until it hits 35 degrees, because the fluid expands as it heats up. Worked as a VW/Audi tech for 12 years now, and this is the messiest way I've seen it be done so far.

[@MV-ky5uo]

Hi, while the oil level is being checked, is the transmission in (P) or in (N)? Thanks

Yo man answer this guys question I would love to know as well. its been 3 years hope you haven't died

[@dustinhaynes2617]

Sounds like fun 🤦‍♂️ it also sounds like it's impossible to guess what's wrong with a CVT without taking it apart since there's so many things going on and it all has to work perfectly or not at all. With the 5-speed in my truck, I was able to guess very close to what was wrong both times before I took it out. First time was worn shift fork/s that left it in 4th gear while the stick was elsewhere. This last time (currently rebuilding) I guessed a gear or two were damaged and caused it to lock up. The single gear on the input was gone, and the corresponding gear on the counter shaft had the teeth all mushed out. At least it will be like "new" when my dad and I are doing putting it back together. Thanks for this video, it just reconfirms my trust in manual being the best.

Didn't even know Audi used a CVT in any vehicle until y'all started this series on the B7 lol

[@petrolpower96]

Audi used the MLT for years in Europe. Started in the C5 gen A5’s with FWD, far from the best transmission sadly. They used it in everything with the transverse layout (A4-A8) with FWD. They got the hang of them in the early 2010’s, but the reputation on these is far from the best. i could consider an A5 2.7 TDI MLT but only if it had a brand new trans fitted. Audi ditched it in 2016 for the S-Tronic/DSG. Why Audi never used the TipTronic instead across the whole range from the get go baffles me. The basics of the transmission is the same as DAF used in the 70’s.

[@jar03280]

You aren't going to get rid of all of the vibrations on acceleration until you replace the motor mounts and CV axles. As you probably already know, don't cheap out on Audi/VW axles or you will be doing it again. At least buy some good used OEM axles. I have a 2011 A6 with a CVT and it is actually fun to drive with the 3.2L FSI behind it. I don't know about the 2.0 but on the 3.2 models there is also an inline transmission fluid filter at the radiator (trans cooler). You can replace it (expensive) but I normally just flush it with some kind of solvent. Just make sure your lines are disconnected from the transmission so no solvent gets into the new fluid. I also blow compressed air into it before I hook it back up to get all solvent out of the filter and cooler.

[@adamprice9214]

I'm about to go and look at an Audi A4 2004 1.9 auto.. only known fault is a wobble judder guy says he thinks its disks or tracking but is no mechanic and isn't sure (and could aslo just be saying this to make it sound a cheap fix) car has done 216000 miles, is s line in blue looks lovely and is good price.. is this more likely the issue and can they be an expense gamble and should I stay clear.. it's a 4hr drive each way is all.

Very interesting and informative video. I own a 2014 Honda Civic LX and recently I've had been experiencing some strong vibration when in reverse, basically when the transmission is cold, after running for a while is no more vibration. The transmission was serviced recently at the Honda dealer here in Miami. I am questioning whether the procedure was done right or not. I did not know about the re-adaptation procedure until I watch this video. I wonder if I have to have it done. One thing I've just learned recently is that after a year of this model being out in 2015 there was a recall on this model that had to do with a computer program update on the transmission. I will really appreciate some info on this issue. Thanks.
