Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've a problem with my Tiptronic box at the moment - possibly the multi switch. Before I get to that I thought I'd check the transmission fluid level. I had the filter changed 1500 miles ago cars been lunging forward when put in D and backwards in reverse. Whilst the tip box is still in limp mode - flashing d and 4, I got it up to 35 c and put it into drive and reverse a few times. I then took the level plug out - transmission oil everywhere! Is it possible to 'overfill' these and that's what happened 1500 miles ago?

POST 2Original post

Having changed my gearbox oil so many times recently due to some tip issues, i can give some feedback. The level has to be checked with the engine running, as this ensures all the oil is pumped around. If not then a litre will come out! As the temperature rises, the oil level rises, hence the 35c spec. The best way I found was to plug a durametric in and monitor the gearbox temp. Second best way was to poke a wire thermocouple into the oil through the level hole. As the temperature rises, say to 38C then more comes out quite quickly., the accepted range for checking is 35 to 40C, I do mine at 35C as it means there is more oil in the gearbox, so safer in case you ever lose any. It maybe that yours was checked at lower temp so still comes out at 35 or your oil temp is higher than 35 and you are not measuring correctly. The only way can overfill is to fill up when cold and not let the oil warm up with the level plug open. How are you measuring the temp? if you measure the metal sump temp, this will be lower than the oil temp, hence your oil will be too hot.
