To change the oil in the automatic transmission of a Tuareg car, you will need
- Hexagon 17
- 10 mm head with extension and small ratchet
- Sprocket T40
- Torque wrench if necessary
- Rubber hose with a diameter of 22-23 mm and a length of 2 meters
- Automatic transmission oil VW ATF G055 025 - 8 liters
Before starting work, the box pallet must be thoroughly cleaned of dirt. Pay particular attention to the butt joint of the fastening bolts, drain plug, and level plug.
Use a 17 hexagon to loosen the oil level plug
Remove the pallet mounting bracket
Weaken the T-40 asterisk and unscrew the drain plug
With a 10 head, unscrew all the bolts of the pallet, leaving two opposite each other
We unscrew the two bolts in half and carefully tear off the stuck pallet with the assembly
We tilt the pallet by unscrewing two bolts, while gradually draining the remaining oil
Remove the automatic transmission pallet
Using a 10 mm head, unscrew the 3 bolts fastening the filter
Removing the filter
We diagnose the filter for the presence of metal shavings or other inclusions in it
Examining magnets, metal shavings are usually magnetized on them.
Pallet installation
We wash and degrease the pallet
Original pallet gasket number
Putting on the gasket and putting the magnets in place 
Carefully scrape off the remnants of dirt from the gasket fitting box, for this it is convenient to use a clerical knife. When cleaning the surface, you must try not to scrape it.
Degrease the surface of the box
We always put a new O-ring on the fuel filter
When installing the filter, make sure that the O-ring is seated correctly. In case of improper installation at the junction of the filter and the box, air leaks and further failure of work are formed. Due to oily starvation of rubbing parts, the speed packs fail. And as a result, expensive repairs.
Tighten the filter bolts evenly. First you need to wrap it all the way, and then hold it out by turning the key a quarter
We put the lid on, tighten the drain hole with a T-40 star. When screwing in the pallet, it is not possible to damage the gasket, since it contains iron posts with a hole for the bolts.
We insert the hose tightly into the filler hole, and into the other end we insert it into the neck of the oily canister, cutting out the bottom. With the help of the law on communicating vessels, fill in the oil. Since the hole on the box near the breather is too small, and in order to accelerate the entry of oil into the box, you can insert a hose of a smaller diameter inside the filler hose to remove excess air.
When the oil is filled, it is necessary to start the car and let it run for a few minutes, after which the automatic gearbox with the selector knob must be sequentially set in all selector positions for 10 - 15 seconds. At the right level. oil will drip slightly from the hole. That's it, the cork can be screwed up, and it is unforgettable to change the sealing ring.
Tightening torque of the oil level plug 70 N / m.
After the automatic transmission has warmed up, it is necessary to inspect all the joints for smudges.
Good luck with your DIY repairs!
In order to avoid the need to make premature and expensive transmission repairs, an automatic transmission is especially needed. At the same time, SUVs and crossovers, even taking into account their apparent strength and reliability, are no exception.
As for the popular Volkswagen Touareg model, it is necessary to carry out a full or partial oil change in the Tuareg automatic transmission on time. At the same time, it is not always necessary to contact a car service, since this procedure can be easily performed independently. Let's take a closer look at this issue.

What functions does transmission oil perform in a gearbox
As in the engine, the oil in the gearbox has several important functions:
- lubrication of rubbing parts and loaded surfaces;
- cooling (oil absorbs heat from parts that heat up during operation);
- the lubricant removes metal particles that are formed as a result of wear of parts (contaminants are retained in the oil, transferred to the filter, and retained on special magnets).
In addition, in the boxes - the automatic fluid is working (, works in, operating the box, etc.) Due to pollution, the oil partially loses its properties and not only ceases to be useful, but can also harm the parts of the mechanisms. For example, if it is too dirty, saturated with metal particles, it becomes an abrasive and contributes to even greater destruction of parts.
In the case of the automatic transmission, and clearly understand when to change the oil in the automatic transmission. In the manual for any car, the timing of the replacement of the transmission fluid is usually prescribed. As a rule, the replacement frequency is tied to the mileage.
But when it comes to automatic transmission Tuareg and many other cars, you should not wait until the corresponding figure appears on the odometer. It is optimal to regularly check the level and color of the oil on the automatic transmission dipstick yourself.
If fresh ATF oil is poured into the Tuareg box, then it has a red color (or tint). Over time, the liquid turns brown. Dark brown oil on the dipstick is a sure sign that it's time to replace. Another sign that replacement is needed are various irregularities in the operation of the box itself. For example, (this often happens when switching from second to third).
There is one more important point. The manufacturer claims that the oil filled at the factory in the VW Touareg automatic transmission (synthetics) does not require replacement at all. That is, throughout the entire life of the vehicle, the gearbox is maintenance-free. However, one should not forget that completely different meanings are put into the concept of "service life".
In developed countries, after five years, the car is simply changed, while in the territory of the Russian Federation and the CIS countries, the owners have been using their vehicles for 10-15 years. In addition, operating conditions, loads, etc. also play a role.
In simple words, the specified life without maintenance assumes that the machine will travel 150-200 thousand kilometers (which is the life of the oil without changing). At the same time, long runs, difficult conditions and a number of other factors reduce the lubricant resource and the entire unit as a whole.
It becomes clear that you can trust the manufacturer, but you should also check the condition of the oil in the box and its level during long-term intensive use. It is also advisable to change the oil in the automatic transmission every 60-80 thousand km. mileage.
What is needed to change the oil in the Tuareg automatic transmission
- First of all, you need fresh and properly selected oil. As already mentioned, synthetics are poured into the box at the factory. For a complete replacement, which can only be done in a car service using special equipment, you will need from 7 to 9 liters of fluid.
Changing the oil in the Tuareg automatic transmission in a garage will only drain up to 40% of the total volume. In other words, not a complete replacement will be made, but a partial one. An update, so to speak. To change the entire volume in such conditions, it will be necessary to carry out two or three cycles of draining and filling.
It is better to use original oil - VAG ATF G 055 025 A2, provided by the manufacturer or presented in official Volkswagen stores. You can also use analogues that are cheaper, on average, two to three times (for example, Mobil JWS 3309, Petro-Canada DuraDrive MV). In this case, mixing of transmission oils must be avoided.
For the procedure, you will need an inspection pit (overpass, lift). You also need a spare gasket for the VAG 09D321371 pallet (with a complete replacement) and VAG 09D325435 (if it is changed and not washed), a drain plug gasket. You will also need keys to remove the pallet, a container where the old oil will be drained, rags.
To change the oil in the automatic transmission "Tuareg" yourself, you need to perform several simple steps, observing their order:
Let's summarize
As you can see, changing the oil in the Tuareg automatic transmission (at least partial) is not a very difficult operation; special skills and special equipment are also not required. The only thing is that for maximum oil renewal, the procedure must be repeated several times after a short period of time, which means a total high consumption of transmission oil.
Finally, we note that replacing the transmission oil, taking into account its aging and contamination, allows you to maximize the overall resource of the automatic transmission. Moreover, even if it is necessary to repair the automatic transmission, in boxes that were serviced in a timely manner, many elements remain in working order.
In simple words, in some cases it is possible to confine oneself only to the machine's bulkhead (without replacing most of the parts), that is, to avoid expensive overhaul of the transmission or to a contract unit.

Is it possible to mix oils in a gearbox: what you need to know, the possible consequences of mixing gear oils for a gearbox. Helpful hints.
Volkswagen Tuareg is a very common crossover in Russia. This car has undoubted advantages - high ground clearance, large trunk and four-wheel drive, which is important for most regions of our country. Volkswagen Tuareg is equipped with different transmissions. But most crossovers are still equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission. How is the oil change in the automatic transmission "Tuarega"? Consider in our today's article.
Oil resource
The 09D transmission is installed on the Volkswagen Tuareg. It was also installed on Audi crossovers. In the operating manual, the manufacturer does not say after what period the pier follows, it is flooded for the entire period of operation. Perhaps this is so for Germany, because the Germans use a car up to 100-150 thousand kilometers. But our realities are significantly different. So, you can often find a Volkswagen-Tuareg with a range of 400 thousand kilometers. Of course, in order for the car to live up to this date, you need to change consumables in it, including changing the oil in the automatic transmission. Volkswagen Tuareg in our conditions requires this operation every 60 thousand kilometers. It is precisely this regulation that was determined by the majority of specialists.
You need to understand that oil is a working fluid in an automatic transmission. In addition to its main function (this is a lubricant), it performs:
- Heat dissipation.
- Reduction of mechanical stress on the elements of automatic transmission.
- Removal of small particles that are formed as a result of wear of the components.
Over time, such a liquid becomes black (initially a shade of red). This suggests that an urgent oil change of the Tuarega automatic transmission is required. Whether it is a 2.5-liter engine or a 3-liter engine does not matter. Driving with such an ATP fluid is fraught with unexpected breakdowns.
Oil change on a car after purchase
Do I need to perform this operation if the machine was purchased on the secondary market? If the seller has not provided the appropriate confirmation of the oil change, this operation must be performed without fail. Nobody knows how much and in what modes the Tuareg was used before the purchase. Sometimes one exit on the off-road is enough to "sentence" the oil, overheating the box.
What to choose?
To change the oil in the automatic transmission of diesel Tuareg 3.0, an original fluid with the index G 055 025 A2 is required. But the problem is that only officials have such oil and it costs about three thousand rubles per liter.
What then to use to change the oil in the automatic transmission "Tuarega" 3.0? You can use an analog from "Mobile" or "DuraDrive MV". These products meet all tolerances. They are suitable not only for changing the oil in the automatic transmission of diesel Tuareg 2.5, but also for gasoline engines. The cost of one liter of the product is about 700 rubles. How much oil is required for a change? It all depends on the method of operation. If it is a partial replacement, you need to prepare about four liters. For a complete oil change in the automatic transmission "Tuarega" 3.6, at least nine liters are required. Next, we will look at the features of each method.
Partial oil change in automatic transmission "Tuarega"
The essence of this operation is that the old oil is replaced with a new one. But it is replaced only by half, since no more than 50 percent of the filling volume can come out of the box. Thus, this replacement is used more often than a complete one. That is, such an operation needs to be performed every 30 thousand kilometers.
So, how is a partial oil change performed in the Tuarega automatic transmission? To do this, you first need to install the car in the inspection pit. Next, the standard engine mudguard is removed. The car is installed on the handbrake. In this case, the gearshift lever must be in the "Parking" mode.
Please note that the oil change in the Tuarega automatic transmission is performed only after the gearbox has warmed up. To do this, the engine starts and warms up to about 50 degrees Celsius. Then you can jam it and go under the car. Using a hex wrench, unscrew the drain plug. An empty container with a volume of at least three liters is prepared in advance. It can be made from an old plastic canister.
It is important to remember that the engine should not be started until there is new oil in the box. Without it, the automatic transmission will simply fail (exactly the same as if the internal combustion engine was working without oil). When the liquid is completely drained, the drain plug is screwed back. Usually, the container takes about three liters. Next, you should find the seal and fill in the new liquid through the oil filling tube. Its volume should be equal to the amount of the old one - no more and no less.
What's next?
Then you should start the engine and test all positions of the automatic transmission selector, while keeping your foot on the brake pedal. This will run the new oil through the system. Checking the oil level will also be useful. In an automatic transmission, control must be done on a running engine. Taking out the dipstick, we will determine whether it is necessary to add liquid. Ideally, the oil should be in the middle, between the "minimum" and "maximum" marks.
If the level is in order, you can put back the protective mudguard and start full-fledged operation of the car.
Complete replacement
This method is slightly different. Here the oil changes in full. But in order to do this, a special apparatus is required, which, under pressure, will replace the old fluid with a new one. A complete replacement cannot be performed without this equipment. Therefore, this operation is performed only in the service. But experts say that this is a better and more correct method.
How is this operation performed? First, the car is driven into a box and installed on a lift. Next, experts will dismantle the automatic transmission pan, after draining the oil. Then the pallet is cleaned of all dirt and debris. Next, the element is installed in place. After that, the device is connected to the pipelines that go to the oil cooling radiator. The device has already been filled with new liquid in full. I must say that its amount is slightly more than the filling volume, by about two liters.
In the next step, the engine and the connected device are started. Old liquid will flow from one outlet, and new one will flow to the other. The condition of the oil can be determined by its color. When the liquid is red on both terminals, this indicates a successful oil change. In total, the procedure takes no more than an hour.
What if not changing?
Experts do not recommend ignoring the oil change in the automatic transmission of the Volkswagen-Tuareg crossover for several reasons. First, the old fluid is not able to remove heat normally. And this is an increased risk of overheating of the box. Secondly, such oil cannot perform high-quality lubrication of automatic transmission elements, which leads to their increased wear. And, finally, the liquid itself is highly saturated with wear products. As a result, it works like an abrasive, creating a sandblasting effect under pressure. As a result, the valve body and control valves suffer. And the oil itself is saturated with aluminum dust.
All this, of course, is reflected in the behavior of the car. Thus, the driver notices strange vibrations and jolts that occur both in motion and while stationary at idle. The transmission may jerk or slip when trying to change gear.
Keep track of the level
No matter how long ago the replacement was made, it is necessary to periodically monitor the level of the liquid in the box. Due to its insufficient volume, various malfunctions may occur, as well as overheating of the automatic transmission. The clutches do not adhere well to the metal discs and slip. As a result, their temperature increases. The clutches are charred and destroyed. This also affects the oil itself. It takes on a black color and characteristic
What other problems are encountered when operating a Volkswagen-Tuareg automatic transmission with a low oil level:
- Thrust discs, rubberized pistons and clutch drum overheat.
- The valve body is worn out.
- The channels of the hydraulic plate and plungers are clogged with mechanical particles that have arisen due to overheating. This entails increased wear of the rubbing elements of the pump and bushings.
Timely replacement of this fluid will avoid these breakdowns and extend the life of the automatic transmission.
Conclusion
So, we found out how the oil is changed in the automatic transmission on the Volkswagen Tuareg car. As you can see, ATP liquid has a certain resource, after which it loses its qualities and provokes increased wear of the box. Therefore, it is so important to monitor the condition of the transmission oil and its level. The method itself can be different - both partial and complete. The main thing is to purchase high-quality consumables and adhere to replacement intervals.
In this article, we will choose oil in automatic transmission Volkswagen Touareg.
The question would seem trivial. What's so hard about that? But no! There is no such information in the accompanying documentation for the car, no one writes anything to the Tuareg probe. Sometimes the Toureg has no automatic transmission dipsticks at all. And the oil itself does not seem to require replacement. Then why this article? It's very simple. The oil in the Tuareg's box is usually changed in two cases. First, when the car gets a caring owner. the car owner understands that the oil in the box can not work forever and loses its quality over time.Secondly, when an unplanned repair occurs.For example, you punched the automatic transmission oil cooler and the oil leaked out.That is when the owner of Tuareg starts looking for oil in the box. just go to the officials and buy oil there. But simpler does not mean cheaper. Do you know how much the original oil costs in a Volkswagen Tuareg automatic box from official dealers? 3000 - 3500 rubles per liter! And in the box you need 7-9 liters of such oil. So count You can hardly buy such oil in stores. Everything is only on order from one week or more. By the way, we have a detailed one on our website. It will be useful to everyone who plans to change the oil in the box on their own. Milos we ask. And we will continue our topic.
So a matter of choice oils in automatic transmission VW Toureg is quite complex and multifaceted, since you cannot just enter the phrase into a search engine: "What kind of oil to fill in the Tuareg automatic transmission" and get an accurate answer right away. It all depends on which box is installed. And there were quite a few of them in 13 years of model production, believe me.
I myself have personally encountered such a problem. It was Friday evening. About an hour remained until the end of the working day. A young guy calls and asks:
- Is there oil in the Tuareg's box?
I did not shock the question of which box was installed. Few people know this and can immediately answer. Usually the answer to this question is: "Eeee ... Well, this is ... I don't know ... automatic transmission ... 4-speed ...". Therefore, I immediately asked the year of manufacture, volume, power. In most cases, this information is sufficient to determine the box model. They identified the box, picked up the oil, gave it to the man, and he left happy and satisfied for a replacement. It seemed so from the outside. In fact, the question of choosing an oil was more complicated. The box number was, the original oil was, but the price and delivery time left much to be desired. Found a suitable analogue. I was satisfied with the price, but the delivery time is from two weeks. A very long time. We started looking for analogs from those that are available. I had to call most of the major stores for advice. And these consultations left much to be desired.
It turned out something like the following dialogue:
- Is there oil in the Volkswagen Toureg automatic gearbox?
- Yes there is. Come on over.
- And what is there?
- Toyota ATF Type T-IV.
- How did you determine what oil I need?
- Well, we usually sell it in Tuaregi.
- Clear. Those. no matter which box, will it fit everywhere?
- Oh sure. There is even better WS. Will do, too. It is generally Long Life. You can change it less often.
- Understood thanks.
Having received several such consultations, I realized that the sellers, to put it mildly, are not quite right about the case. I understand that maybe from Toyota's Type T-IV, the Tuareg box will not fail immediately. But still, one must take into account the fact that the Tuareg's box was originally designed for more power and more torque than most average Toyota. This means that the load on the fluid itself will be greater. And it will fail much faster. Accordingly, increasing the wear of automatic transmission parts.
So, I think that's enough lyrics. It's time to get down to business. So what kind of oil to fill in the Tuareg automatic transmission? The answer is in the next part.
Oil for automatic transmission and manual transmission Tuareg (Toureg)
We decided that the Volkswagen Toureg began its existence in 2002 and is being produced to this day. During this time, two generations have changed. But there were not so many varieties of boxes. These are 6-speed manuals, 6-speed and 8-speed automatic machines. The automatic transmission models themselves are somewhat different from each other. But this does not affect the oil used in them.

So, in the above table, you can quickly find the oil recommended by the manufacturer for the Volkswagen Tuareg box. Please note that only the part numbers of the original fluids are shown in the table. We will consider analogs below in the article.
Original oils in automatic transmission and manual transmission Tuareg and their analogues
- VAG Transmission oil "ATF" 1l G 055 025 A2
This is the original oil for Volkswagen Tuareg 6-speed automatic transmissions. In addition to the officials, practically no one keeps this oil in stock. Can be ordered online, delivery time is about a week. The price for such a canister is 1200 - 1500 rubles.
There are many analogues of this fluid, for example Mobil JWS 3309 or, which are 2-3 times cheaper. These two oils can be bought from our online store. Also among the analogues you can find Febi ATF 27001, SWAG ATF 81 92 9934. These oils are in the same price category and cost about 600-700 rubles. I have not seen such liquids in our stores either, but it is quite possible to order and receive them in 5-7 days. But personally, I would give preference to Mobile 3309 oil. It inspires confidence more.

- Transmission oil for manual transmission Volkswagen Tuareg - VAG G 052 798 A2
It is a fully synthetic oil for Volkswagen Toureg manual transmissions. Original VAG-ovsky article G052 798 A2. Has a very low viscosity. Manufactured specifically for VW & Audi. I could not find analogues of this oil. This does not mean that they are not there, but the information on the network has not yet appeared. The original canister looks like this:
| VAG G 052 798 A2 |
- VAG Transmission oil "ATF" 1l G 055 540 A2
And here is the fun part! The latest generation VW Toureg is equipped with 8-speed automatic machines from the Japanese manufacturer AISIN. You may have already heard this name. And if not, then I will explain to you in a nutshell. Aisin is the largest supplier of automatic transmissions to automotive giants such as Toyota, Opel, Nissan and others. It is noteworthy that for its boxes, Aisin produces two types of oils - this and. But in no literature there is information about the applicability of AFW + oil in the 8AKPP Volkswagen Tuareg.
A complete analogue of the original VAG G055540A2 fluid is the German Ravenol T-WS oil. Factory article: 4014835743311. On the official website of Ravenol.su there is such information on this oil: VW / AUDI Transmission 0C8 in Q7 2010 / Transmission 0C8 in Touareg 2011, VW G055540A2
The cost of Ravenol T-WS is very humane - only 500-600 rubles with a delivery time of 5-10 days. Among the tolerances of this fluid there are still many tolerances for other car manufacturers, but we are not interested in this. It is important that Ravenol T-WS is suitable for Tuareg automatic transmission. The appearance of the canister is shown in the photo below. The article was given at the very beginning of the paragraph. In addition, Ravenol T-WS is produced in a volume of 60 liters.
- Original automatic transmission fluid Volkswagen Tuareg G 055 540 A2:
And finally, the most interesting thing. The declared original oil for the Tuareg box has the article G 055 540 A2. The cost of 1 liter is 3000-3500 rubles! For a complete replacement, you will need 10-12 liters! So consider for yourself how much money will have to be spent on changing the oil in the Volkswagen Toureg automatic transmission!

That's all! Thank you for your attention, see you soon!
Functions of ATF oil in automatic transmission Volkswagen Tuareg:
- effective lubrication of rubbing surfaces and mechanisms;
- reduction of the mechanical load on the units;
- heat removal;
- removal of microparticles formed due to corrosion or wear of parts.
- wear of automatic transmission oil seals;
- wear of the surfaces of the shafts, the occurrence of a gap between the shaft and the sealing element;
- wear of the automatic transmission sealing element and the speedometer drive shaft;
- play in the input shaft of the automatic transmission;
- damage to the sealing layer in the joints between the parts of the automatic transmission: pallet, automatic transmission housing, crankcase, clutch housing;
- loosening of the bolts that ensure the connection of the above parts of the automatic transmission;
Due to lack of oil or poor quality oil in the Volkswagen Touareg automatic transmission:
- plungers and channels of the valve body are clogged with mechanical particles, which leads to a shortage of oil in the packages and provokes wear of the sleeve, rubbing pump parts, etc.;
- steel transmission discs overheat and wear out quickly;
- rubberized pistons, thrust discs, clutch drum, etc; overheat and burn out;
- the valve body wears out and becomes unusable.
You can check the oil level in the Volkswagen Touareg automatic transmission using a dipstick. The oil dipstick has two pairs of marks - the upper pair Max and Min allows you to determine the level in hot oil, the lower pair - in cold oil. Using the dipstick, it is easy to check the condition of the oil: you need to drip oil onto a clean white cloth.
When choosing a Volkswagen Touareg automatic transmission oil for replacement, you should be guided by a simple principle: it is best to use an oil recommended by Volkswagen. In this case, instead of mineral oil, you can fill in semi-synthetic or synthetic, but in no case should you use oil "lower class" from the prescribed one.
Synthetic oil for automatic transmissions of Volkswagen Tuareg is called "non-replaceable", it is poured for the entire service life of the car. This oil does not lose its properties under the influence of high temperatures and is designed for a very long service life of the Volkswagen Touareg. But we must not forget about the appearance of mechanical suspension as a result of wear of the clutches with a very significant mileage. If the automatic transmission has been operated for some time in conditions of a lack of oil, it is required to check the degree of its contamination and, if necessary, replace it.
Ways to change the oil in the Volkswagen Touareg automatic transmission:
- Partial oil change in the Volkswagen Touareg box;
- Complete oil change in the Volkswagen Tuareg box;
A complete oil change of the Volkswagen Touareg automatic transmission is carried out using an automatic transmission oil change unit, by specialists in the car service. In this case, more ATF oil is required than the Volkswagen Touareg automatic transmission can accommodate. One and a half or double volume of fresh ATF is used for flushing. The cost will be more expensive than partial replacement, and not every car service provides such a service.
Partial ATF oil change in Volkswagen Touareg automatic transmission box according to a simplified scheme:
- Unscrew the drain plug, drain the old ATF oil;
- We unscrew the automatic transmission pan, which, in addition to the bolts holding it, is processed along the contour with a sealant.
- We get access to the automatic transmission filter, it is advisable to change it with each oil change, or rinse it.
- At the bottom of the pallet there are magnets that are necessary for collecting metal dust and shavings.
- We clean the magnets and rinse the pan, wipe dry.
- Install the automatic transmission filter in place.
- We install the automatic transmission pan in place, replacing the automatic transmission pan gasket if necessary.
- We tighten the drain plug, replacing the drain plug gasket for the automatic transmission.
