Checks after replacing the transmission
Top up and check the engine coolant level before and during the test drive.
Check the oil level. See the appropriate service information.
If the transmission is replaced with a new or exchange transmission, it is supplied filled with oil plus a certain amount of "excess". This is to compensate for loss from the oil cooler. The oil level must always be checked however.
The lower engine coolant hose positioned by the dip stick is extremely hot. Use protective gloves when moving the hose to the side.
Test drive the car
Use the test driving schedule. See Test drive schedule, description .
Check that no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) have been stored during the test drive.
After replacing the transmission, the adaptation and the "Transmission oil change" counter must be reset. Use VIDA vehicle communication to set the adaptation and counters to zero.
