Despite the fact that official dealers and manufacturers often claim otherwise, an oil change in the Skoda Octavia A5 automatic transmission is simply necessary. There is no need to lull our vigilance, since the unit is expensive to repair and needs to be carefully monitored. Any manufacturer benefits complete replacement automatic box than the prevention and replacement of ATF transmission fluid. This option does not suit us, we do not live in Germany, so we will change the lubricant in the Skoda Octavia automatic transmission along with the filter. How to replace, when and what is needed for this, we will figure it out right now.

When to change the oil in an automatic transmission Skoda Octavia A5

To begin with, let's define the patient, that is, with the gearbox itself. On the Skoda Octavia, like many other cars concern VAG, was installed and is being installed by a Japanese-made machine aisin. Automatic transmission brand - 09G, and the modification may depend on the year of manufacture of our Skoda and on the type of engine. All information below is relevant for Skoda Octavia with atmospheric engines 1.6 and 2.0 liters, as well as with 1.8 TSI turbo engines. In addition, the automatic transmission oil change technology is unchanged for Skoda Octavia A7, Skoda Rapid 2016 with gasoline engines CVVA 1.6 MPI, and how to change the oil in robotic box with two DSG7 dry clutches, we figured it out. Specifications (codes) of gearboxes can be different ( KGV, KGJ, MFZ, JUN, KRN , newer QDM, QNQ and many others).

09G series automatic transmission

Experienced shkodovods recommend changing the oil in the Octavia machine at least once every 40-50 thousand kilometers. The need for replacement is explained by high loads on the clutches of the machine, unbearable operating conditions for automatic transmissions in dusty and dirty roads, as well as the quality of transmission fluids supplied to our markets. The quality of the filter also plays an important role in the ATF resource.

When to change the automatic transmission filter

Automatic transmission oil change kit

A cheap Chinese nameless filter is simply not able to clean the liquid. As a result, the channels of the box get coked, the radiator gets clogged and the oil change in the automatic box shines on us even more often. Oil filter in theory, it changes every 60 thousand km, but only if the liquid being replaced is not black and does not have a suspension in the form of chips. In practice, they try to change the filter along with the liquid.

Automatic transmission filters 09G325429A and 09G325429

If we figured out what index the automatic transmission has on Octavia, it will be easy to buy a filter for an automatic transmission that is fully compatible. For machines with indexes KGV and KGJ, theoretically, different filters are needed, but in fact seat they are exactly the same. Part numbers for these filters 09G325429A for Octavius ​​with engines of 1.4 and 1.8 liters (for automatic transmissions KGV, KGJ, JUH, KPH) or 09G325429 for versions with 1.6 l engine (MFZ, KGG, QAW). The only difference is that these filters have different height the shape of the oil receiver and, in principle, are interchangeable, and a high filter 09G325429A instead of low, you can put it completely painlessly.

Consumables required for replacement

Plug with o-ring

Here is a list of all consumables with part numbers needed for correct replacement ATF Skoda Octavia:

1. Pallet gasket (No. 6 in the drawing). For all modifications of boxes 09G, a gasket with a catalog number is suitable 09G 321 370 .
2. Plug with O-ring (No. 14 and 15 in the drawing). Cork code WHT 000 310 A, but you need to change it according to the state, for example, if the hexagon suddenly breaks. Gasket code - 09D 321 181B, but it will have to be changed for sure, it is disposable.
3. 8 bolts M 6x1x21 for attaching the pallet (No. 5 according to the drawing). It is advisable to change at each oil change, their code WHT 000 309 .

For replacement, we also need a container for old oil, preferably a measuring one, as well as a flushing liquid (for example, cleaning Liqui Moly, price about $ 2.5) for cleaning the crankcase and mating surfaces. If all this is at hand, let's get to work.

We change ATF in automatic transmission Skoda Octavia A5

The price of an automatic transmission oil change on an Octavia depends on the service station level and can reach $25-30. This is the amount we will save now, spending not so much time. We will change the oil using the double replacement technology, which means that we will fill in and drain twice, therefore, we stock up on 8 liters of ATF and start:

How to correctly set the oil level in the automatic transmission

Diagnostic cable VAG COM

But that's not all. We need to set the correct fluid level. And the level in our box needs to be measured only at an oil temperature of exactly 45 degrees. You can measure the temperature only using the VAG diagnostic cable and special software on any computer. Alternatively, an inexpensive cable will do. VCDS 12.12 HEX CAN. We connect the cable to the diagnostic connector and to the laptop, then wait until the liquid temperature drops to 35 ° C. We start the engine, unscrew the measuring plug and monitor the temperature according to the readings of the diagnostic cable. As soon as the liquid warms up, it will begin to flow out of the hole. It is important to tighten the level plug exactly when the temperature reaches 45 ° C. The level is set, the oil is replaced by about 80-85%.

After changing the oil on the box, the automatic machine will work softer and clearer, and the next replacement will be needed no earlier than after 40 thousand mileage. Good roads to all and an indestructible gearbox!

Although the officials write that the oil is poured into the gearbox once and for the entire life of the gearbox, this does not mean that it does not need to be changed, and even more so on an automatic transmission (automatic gearbox). First, what is meant by "lifetime"? No one really knows, maybe it's 5 years, or 150 thousand kilometers. Therefore, in order to “sleep well” and be sure that the box on your car will work out and shift gears perfectly, you need to change the lubricant in it at least once every 60 thousand km, and even better if it is every 40 thousand kilometers. After all, it will end up being cheaper than an expensive repair. We'll consider self-replacement oil in automatic transmission, on a car like the Skoda Octavia A5.

Once again, you can be convinced of the need to change the oil in the gearbox on your Skoda Octavia A5 by draining it and seeing what color it has become. If this is something incomprehensible in black, you are definitely doing the right thing.

The choice and cost of oil for automatic transmission Skoda Octavia A5

The original for the automatic transmission installed on the Skoda Octavia A5 is ATF oil with catalog number G055025A2. The cost of a liter of such a liquid starts at $ 17 (about 700 rubles, if you search, but not the fact that it will be the original). Officials will cost around 1200 rubles. To change the oil using the double drain method, which we will consider for our A5th Skoda Octavia, you need at least six liters. We multiply the numbers and the result is 1200 x 6 = 7200 rubles. A bit too much, but everyone decides for himself.

As an alternative, you can take the following:

• SWAG 81 92 9934
• Universal for automatic transmission Castrol Atf Multivehicle;
• Synthetic Toyota Atf Type T-4.

Necessary materials

So, to replace, in addition to the oil itself, for our automatic transmission, some additional consumables will be required:

1. Gasket for the gearbox pan, its catalog number for Skoda Octavia A5 09G 321 370 and the original cost will be approximately 2.2 thousand rubles. But instead of it, a gasket from Her number 100 139 0002 is very suitable, and the cost is only 260 rubles;
2. 09D 321 181B — O-ring for drain plug, at a price in the region of 100 rubles;
3. Universal cleaner to wash the pan and strainer. Here you can take any that you like the most.

Double flush replacement

First of all, the plug is unscrewed, with the help of which the level of lubricating fluid in the automatic transmission of our Skoda Octavia A5 is checked. This is done with hexagon No. 5. Be prepared for some oil to drain if you drove a car before the procedure, as a result of which it turned out to be completely warmed up. By the way, it is best to carry out the replacement procedure at a low ambient temperature (later you will understand why) and with the car completely cooled.

After that, with the same hexagon, unscrew the tube that measures the level. We continue to pour. Be sure to pour the liquid into the vessel in order to measure how much it has drained and subsequently, pour in about the same amount.

The next step is to remove the pan and mesh filter. At the same time, another 300 milliliters will merge, which in total will amount to 3-3.5 liters.

After that, be sure to check the condition of the magnets. If they have a coating in the form of chips or something else, urgently contact your service center, if there is something in the form of dust, this is normal and there is nothing to worry about. Now, after inspection, you need to rinse the pan and filter well with a flushing agent. We put everything back in place. Yes, if you changed the filter at the same time, then its gasket on the plug must be lubricated with new fluid before putting it in.

Clamping the pan, twist the tube to measure the level. Now you can fill in new oil. And how to do it, you ask? This is done through the same drainer and for this you can make some device shown in the photo. A hose from a conventional mixer fits perfectly on the thread, and two nipples from the wheels are used for sealing.

Using a conventional compressor (if there is one and it is desirable that it be), we pump air into the bottle, thereby pushing new liquid out of it. If there is no compressor, you can use a regular pump, but someone's help is needed here. You need to fill in the same amount as it was drained (+ -). We twist the plug and start the engine. For 7-10 minutes, we switch the selector lever in all positions, for good ATF mixing.

Again we drain the liquid, but this time without unscrewing the pan. It will be about two liters. This is called the "Double Drain Method" whereby 80 percent ATF renewal takes place. We upload a new one back, maybe a little more. Unscrew the hose, drain the excess.

Correct oil level setting in automatic transmission for Skoda Octavia A5

Many people ask the question, how to correctly set or check the oil level in the automatic transmission (in particular 09G) on a model like the Skoda Octavia A5? To begin with, we will understand that you need to expose it, or check it at its own temperature, equal to 35-45 degrees. It can be measured only with the help of a WAG-COM cable and a laptop with a program. If you don’t have one, you can go to the service station after the bay and ask to do it there. But this must be done, since exceeding the level can affect the operation of the box and disable it.

If you have everything, we carry out the following procedure:

1. We look at the temperature of the liquid, if it is within the required limits, unscrew the plug and drain the unnecessary amount;
2. If it is cooler, again unscrew the plug, start the engine, and as soon as the figure reaches 45 degrees, immediately twist it back.

Ideally, this should be done according to the second point, since it is more accurate and all unnecessary ATP liquid will merge.

That's actually the whole procedure. There are certain difficulties and nuances, so if you are afraid to do it yourself, it is better to turn to professionals.

What modifications of automatic transmission can be replaced

All gearboxes of the DSG 7 modification are subject to restoration and replacement. Automatic transmissions of this type are installed on cars:

• Skoda Yeti (engine 1.4 with 125 hp, torque 250 N/m)
• Octavia (engine 1.4 with 150 hp, torque 250 N/m)
• Rapid (with 1.4 liter engine, 125 hp and 200 N/m torque)
• Superb (equipped with engines of 1.4 and 1.8 liters, the power of which is 150 and 180 hp, and the torque is 250 and 320 N / m, respectively)

Advantages of the DSG 7 and its design features

Many motorists are well aware of the difference between an automatic transmission and a manual one. And most consider the DSG 7 an "automatic" too. Although this opinion is partly erroneous, because such a box is robotic and is a kind of hybrid of automation and mechanics. Its mechanical design is more like traditional mechanics, and in terms of driving comfort and ease of use, it endowed the DSG 7 with all the properties inherent in modern automatic transmissions.

The main thing technical difference is that robotic DSG 7 is equipped with two shafts and, accordingly, two clutch mechanisms, which means it can perform the functions of two gearboxes at once. The very principle of its work is also interesting. When the driver engages first gear, second gear is engaged on the second shaft. In this case, the clutch of the second shaft remains unused. It engages automatically when upshifting. The clutch of the first shaft is also automatically disengaged at this moment.

This design significantly affects the driving dynamics, bringing it to a new level, and the presence of a two-position dry clutch helps to avoid power loss. Today, the DSG 7 is considered one of the most suitable gearboxes for city cars, because it has a small weight and compact dimensions.

Speaking about the advantages of boxes of this type, we can note:

• Excellent dynamics and ease of gear shifting;
• Almost instantaneous gear engagement;
• Lack of damping and loss of power when switching from one gear to another;
• Profitability.

Mechatronics - the heart of the DSG 7

Not a single one can do without this important and very expensive node. robotic gearbox. It is the mechatronics that transmits the signal for gear shifting, and also controls the operation of the clutch. The principle of its operation lies in the precise operation of sensors, electronics and the executive mechanical part.

If any mechatronics unit fails, then the official dealer changes it completely, which, at a cost of about 2,000 euros, makes such a service very expensive. Service centers usually manage to repair or replace a faulty module, which makes repairs much cheaper.

Some disadvantages of mechatronics

Like many electronic-mechanical devices, mechatronics is not without flaws. There are more than 400 parts in its design, located very close to each other, which accelerates their wear.

Very often, it is the mechatronics that becomes the root cause of malfunctions and malfunctions in the gearbox. In particular, its electronic filling is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes; overheating is especially fatal for an electronic mechatronics board.

Description of common faults

• Speed ​​does not turn on, movement is impossible. The PRND error light or wrench icon is flashing.

Possible causes: Malfunction in the mechatronics unit or the mechanical part of the gearbox. The exact cause is identified using computer diagnostics.

• The above error is displayed during normal driving, while the gearbox itself is intermittent.

A mechatronics check is required. As a rule, a similar problem arises in it.

• Movement starts from sharp jerks and at the time of the gear change.

You can fix this problem by replacing the clutch.

• The start of the movement is accompanied strong vibration and tangible jolts. Especially when the car is moving uphill.

Also, as in the previous case, it is necessary to replace the clutch.

• When you turn on the second gear, jerks are noted.

The cause of the malfunction lies in a malfunction in the clutch assembly. Its replacement is required.

• When the ignition is turned on, the PRND error indicator or “wrench” appears. A characteristic buzzing sound is heard.

This indicates an abnormal operation of the mechatronics.

• After the faulty mechatronic was replaced with a used analogue, jerks are felt when the gear is switched on and at the start.

Malfunction in the clutch assembly.

What the car owner should remember in order to extend the life and smooth operation of the DSG 7 gearbox

The presence of DSG 7 completely eliminates the possibility of chip tuning the car. A spectacular start at a traffic light and tricks with elements of slippage are also unacceptable. Dry type clutch and a minimum of lubricating fluid have a detrimental effect on mechanical parts. Therefore, do not accelerate their wear.

It is also necessary to change the transmission fluid in a timely and regular manner.

Driving in traffic is best done in 1st gear in Tiptronik semi-automatic mode.

Skoda OCTAVIA in its advantage was supplied with a 6-speed gearbox TF61SN. "Machine". Pretty reliable unit. As practice has shown, now it is they who get into repairs. And it was quite predictable. After all average mileage, for which such gearboxes are designed is about 200 thousand kilometers. This means that for many Skoda owners the time is right to replace this key unit.

Finally, I would like to note that modern 7 - speed DQ200 with a wet clutch or DQ500 with a dry clutch are more whimsical to operating conditions than traditional 6 - speed "automatic" boxes. And they cost a lot to restore and repair.

Most often, such gearboxes show malfunctions in mechatronics, problems with the normal operation of solenoids, and in the mechanical part of the clutch. When restoring the Skoda Octavia automatic transmission, the transmission fluid is included in the cost of repair and restoration work.

Is it possible to get a restored automatic transmission for Skoda OCTAVIA in exchange for a faulty one? And what is the cost of this service?

To all happy owners of a Skoda OCTAVIA car who are faced with such a nuisance as a gearbox failure, our service center offers a unique opportunity to replace faulty automatic transmission refurbished and fully operational. At the same time, such an operation is considered by our specialists to be quite ordinary and takes several hours in time. After installation, restored automatic transmission, owners Vehicle a 12 month warranty is provided.

The uniqueness of the service lies in the fact that our customers receive a fully functional unit filled with the original ATF transmission fluid, which is included in the cost of the service. Moreover, this cost of replacement work for our customers will be fixed.

Surely every person has a book that he likes to re-read dozens of times! And every time he discovers something new and interesting. A kind of standard for all other books. The car of the Czech company Skoda Octavia a5 became such a standard - a real bestseller and legend of the Czech car industry for 20 years now!

The company's engineers have provided everything in it! Every detail, every bolt, thread line is worked out with high precision. There is no marriage in it. And the automatic transmission is recognized as the best in its class.

During the creation of this model, the designers did everything so that the future car owner could update the consumables with his own hands without any problems. At the same time, without experiencing any difficulties, and did not experience problems in the selection of new components.

Functions of automatic transmission oil in a car

When the car is running in the automatic transmission, its components heat up quite strongly. The main functions of the lubricant are: washing the parts of the gearbox for their lubrication and smooth operation, as well as cooling them.

In the event that a low or poor quality lubricant is filled in a car, it may not be safe to use. As a rule, in those cases when automatic transmission is poured bad oil, it can behave in one of the following ways:

1. The car does not respond to gear changes. The box can go into emergency stabilization mode. A specially designed automatic transmission mode at Skoda. It is an analogue of the emergency mode, however, unlike that, it puts the car into driving mode in 2 gears. At this time, the speed limiter is activated, designed to protect the movement of the motorist in the traffic stream.
2. Vehicle stalls when shifting into neutral. In this case, the oil temperature sensor may flash on dashboard.

As you can see, the Skoda Octavia a5 car has a fairly small number of problems when using poor quality lubricants. All these are the merits of Czech designers who took care of the reliability of using this car.

Nevertheless, in order to avoid such problems, it is worthwhile to change the oil in the automatic transmission to the Skoda Octavia a5 in a timely manner. In this case, you will truly get a trouble-free car that will travel more than one hundred thousand kilometers on the roads.

Oil change interval

In addition to the use of high-quality consumables, the frequency of replacement of consumables affects the service life and reliability of the car.

Skoda presents data on the required timing for updating lubricants and the timing of maintenance in the technical documentation that comes with the car.

From 2004 to 2018, various variants of transmission units were installed on cars of the Octavia a5 model range. These included mainly 5 and 6 stepped gearboxes with semi-automatic driving mode. In essence, they did not differ from the same mechanical boxes gears. Therefore, after half a year, the company began to supply its cars with 6-speed automatic transmissions of the first generation, which replaced semi-automatic transmissions.

By 2011 - and the end of 2012, automatic transmissions with robotic gear shifting were introduced. The tests carried out showed that its reliability is 61% higher than that of the first generation automatic transmission. The result of this was the supply of cars of the Octavia a5 line with automatic transmissions of the DSG type in early 2013.

The technical regulation began to imply the implementation technical work to update consumables every 30,000 kilometers.

Such work included:

• carrying out an external technical inspection of the gearbox for the tightness of the automatic transmission case;
• inspection of the attachment points of the gearbox to the car body (this item was carried out only in those cases when, in the service pass card, the client indicated that this car has ever been in an accident).
• checking for damage to the drive shafts, as well as the protection attached under the automatic transmission housing;
• checking the level of lubricants in the gearbox, as well as in the engine (lack of lubricant mixture in one of the two units can cause malfunctions in the other);
• performing diagnostics electronic control(a test drive is carried out at a special stand, if a car service has a race track, this test is carried out on it).

It is worth noting the fact that since 2015, automatic transmission of the 3rd generation of the Skoda company has been installed on all Octavia a5 models. It is much more modern than the 2nd generation of gearboxes. It has a 2nd generation DSG robotic system, which makes it more reliable and comfortable to use. In addition, it has a much larger power reserve. Maintenance is required only with indicators of 60,000 - 75,000 kilometers.

Since mid-2016, a 2nd generation torque converter has been installed in the models of the Octavia a5 line, which gives an advantage in terms of power reserve in one oil within the limit of 1,450,000 kilometers. Since 2016, 5th generation temperature sensors have been installed, they work 273% more reliably, 118% more accurately (they are able to catch the slightest temperature deviations from the norm, after which they display a corresponding notification on the dashboard).

Oil selection for Skoda Octavia a5

The selection of lubricants should be approached responsibly. You should not buy the first auto store that comes across on the shelf. You can negate all the advantages of the Octavia a5 automatic transmission by using the wrong material.

Before buying new consumables, make sure you know your automatic transmission ID. In basic versions it is marked TF-60SN, in advanced versions KQ, Q, N, fA and other markings. You should not buy oil with a marking different from the marking of your automatic transmission. Between themselves, the mixtures are not interchangeable, and can damage your car.

The entire line of Octavia a5 cars is equipped with personal ID numbers on the gearbox housings, which is duplicated on the car body (on a special plate under the gearbox itself, when replacing the automatic transmission, this plate is also replaced with the one that comes with the new gearbox). Thus, you can always find the necessary components for your car just by knowing your ID.

For more information about the configuration of your car, see service book that comes with the car. This information duplicated on the front panel of the car body.

Example:
To change the oil in an automatic transmission, you enter your ID in the electronic catalog of the Skoda company, or any other store. As a result, you get information about what kind of composition should be lubricant.

If we enter the index 05508420125 A2, we will receive information that a lubricant with the index JWC3309 is suitable for you, in a volume of 7 liters (the composition of the lubricant, its viscosity, class will also be indicated).

For the convenience of motorists, lubricants are sold in containers of 1 liter, 3, 5, 8, 10 liters.

Skoda notifies car owners that it is preferable to use oils similar in performance to Castrol ATF MultiVehicle.

The most common purchase options are:

• Mobil ATF 3309;
• Castrol ATF MultiVehicle;
• Toyota ATF Type with index T-4;
• Toyota ATF Type with T-4 index with Swag composition with sub-index 81 92 9934.

It should be borne in mind that when changing the lubricant, the oil filter should be replaced. It is selected based on the data on the packaging of the new purchased oil. You should also be aware that it is possible to use universal oil filters with the number 09G325429A. Filters with part number 09G325429 are only suitable for MFZ series models.

Experienced car owners are advised to pay attention to the fact that all cars with the A5 index are not serviced under the Skoda warranty. Their MOT takes place in the centers of official dealers, sometimes car owners change consumables on their own (in cases where official dealer not available in the immediate area). Carrying out maintenance independently requires strict adherence to maintenance regulations.

How to independently change the oil in an automatic transmission in a Skoda Octavia a5?

As a rule, on the Skoda Octavia a5, an automatic transmission oil change occurs due to repair work the gearbox itself. There are cases when the lubricating fluid is updated due to its maturity. In all other cases, the oil is only topped up, or updated to another one with a higher technical performance.

Lubricating fluid in the Skoda Octavia a5 gearbox is filled once by the manufacturer for the entire life of the car. However, if necessary, you can change the lubricants yourself. Fortunately, the designers at Skoda took care of this.

Main lubricant functions in the gearboxes of Skoda Octavia a5 cars are:

• lubrication, enveloping parts of the gearbox mechanism;
• reducing the load on the parts during their work;
• reduction of heat release of parts due to their work;
• the lubricating fluid flushes the automatic transmission components, and removes particles of metal dust, which is formed due to wear of the parts of the gearbox mechanism.

Thanks to the use of the Tru K system, the car owner can easily determine from which part of the car the lubricant has leaked. This system allows you to fill in various lubricating fluids in the transmission, car engine. Thus, in the event of an oil leak, the driver will be able to determine from which node it came from by color.

Colors of ATF fluids used in a Skoda Octavia a5 car:

1. Automatic transmission, power steering - red tint, burgundy;
2. Antifreeze in the cooling system - green, blue (depending on the brand of used consumable);
3. The engine is yellowish, orange.

Common causes of lubricant leakage from an automatic transmission in the Octavia a5 model range:

1. Wear of gaskets in the automatic transmission housing;
2. Development of shafts (later large gaps are formed between the shafts and sealing rings);
3. Backlash of the first shaft in the gearbox (occurs after the car has been in an accident);
4. Damage to the connections between the oil pan and the gearbox, automatic transmission and engine;
5. Rupture of the bolts connecting the parts of the automatic transmission housing (occurs due to accidents, accidents).

It is worth considering that due to the low level of the lubricant mixture, friction clutches wear out quickly. Since the lack of lubricating fluid in the gearbox does not allow them to fit snugly together. Due to their wear and destruction, the lubricant mixture is contaminated with coal dust.

clutches

The consequences of a shortage, the use of low-quality lubricant (data from Skoda statistics):

1. Clogging of the valve body with metal dust (leads to a break in the bushings in the oil pump);
2. Destruction of disks with gears in the gearbox;

4. Cracks in the hydraulic block.

Due to a long shortage of lubricant in the automatic transmission, the oil residue turns into a thick abrasive mixture. This mixture under high pressure in the gearbox creates a sandblasting effect, due to which the parts of the gearbox housing are rubbed.

1. Upper - to check the level of the lubricating fluid in the hot state;
2. The lower one is for checking the lubricant level when cold.

To check the condition of the oil itself, you need to remove the dipstick, then apply a small amount of lubricant to a white cloth.

When updating the lubricant mixture, you need to be guided by a simple principle, namely: purchase the lubricant recommended by the manufacturer. Mostly it is better to use semi-synthetic, synthetic oil. However, it is not allowed to use a lubricant mixture of a lower quality than prescribed by the manufacturer.

Novice motorists should be aware that synthetic lubricant is called non-replaceable, it is filled once for the entire period of operation. Unlike other cars, the Skoda Octavia a5 uses high-quality synthetic oil, which has a range of 155,000 kilometers. Such a lubricant does not lose its properties even during long-term operation under conditions of increased loads. For the development of this lubricant mixture, Škoda received an award at the Geneva Consumables Exhibition in 2015. So far, no other company has been able to achieve the same performance in their consumables.

To update the lubricant in the Skoda Octavia a5 automatic transmission, you will need the following tools:

• a set of keys;
• new lubricant.

Changing lubricants in Octavia a5 models is carried out in the following two ways:

1. Partial replacement;
2. Complete renewal of the lubricant.

Partial lubricant renewal can be done independently. In this case, as a rule, a complete renewal of the lubricating fluid will occur after 2 - 3 such procedures. Since during each procedure, the old oil is drained by 40 - 50% of the total volume.

Complete replacement of the lubricating fluid is carried out using a special unit UAZM. In this case, you will need about 10 - 11.5 liters of lubricant. It should be borne in mind that this method of changing the lubricant is very expensive, it will cost 2.5 times more than a partial oil change. And because of the need to use the UAZM installation, not every car service will be able to perform such work.

Before updating consumables, you should familiarize yourself with the safety precautions, which are as follows:

• it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions;
• rubber gloves must be used;
• all procedures should be carried out only on a flyover, a repair pit, a hydraulic lift with a built-in insurance system (implies an emergency stop of the lift in case the sensors detect that the load may break).

Draining the old oil and flushing the sump with the removal of chips

The process of changing the oil in an automatic transmission of the Skoda Octavia a5 is not difficult, and it will require a minimum of tools and maximum accuracy from the owner. Before starting this work, it is necessary to make sure that an electric thermometer is available to check the temperature of the lubricant in the gearbox. Take from the set of keys a ratchet with a 10 head, a 5.5 hexagon (for new models, use a 5 hexagon). Do not forget that before changing the lubricant, it is worth cooling the gearbox to 28 C (thus, the temperature of the lubricant will be about 38 C).

The step-by-step instruction looks like this:

1. We unscrew the drain valve plug with a 5.5 or 5 hexagon. As soon as the oil starts to flow, stop, wait until most of it drains. After the oil is glass, completely unscrew this plug. Wait until the remaining lubricant has completely drained off.
2. After the oil has drained, you can begin to unscrew the oil pan (after you unscrew it, you should wipe it dry with a rag).
3. Next, change the oil filter. It should be borne in mind that the oil filter mounts are made of aluminum. When dismantling, it is worth carefully unscrewing the bolts of its fasteners so as not to strip the threads from them.
4. After changing the filter, screw the oil pan back on.
5. Then you can start filling in a new lubricant.
6. After filling in new oil, start the engine for 10 seconds and check the readings of the oil condition sensor (depending on the year of manufacture, it may indicate in different ways that there is enough lubricant in the automatic transmission).

Oil change difference in automatic transmission on other Skoda models

The process of replacing the lubricant in the gearboxes of Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI and 1.6 MPI cars in the back of A5 and A7 may be slightly different. The frequency of updating lubricants can be from 65,000 to 195,000 kilometers. The design features of specific models should also be taken into account.

Lubricant selection

In the automatic transmission of Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI and 1.6 MPI cars, it is worth pouring only those lubricant mixtures that are recommended by the manufacturer. These models are suitable for ATF brand lubricant, the index number in the catalog of which is G 055025A2.

Since in recent years cases of selling fakes have become more frequent, it is worth buying this mixture only in official stores. In them, it will cost 1570 rubles. Thus, for a complete lubricant change in gearboxes of the above models, you will need 6.5 liters of this mixture. The cost of the car owner will be 10205 rubles.

How to change lubricant?

To change the oil in an automatic transmission on a Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI and 1.6 MPI in the back of A5, Tour and A7, the double lubricant drain method is used.

The method of double oil drain in automatic transmission:

1. First, cool the engine (in these models, it is best to change the lubricant on a cold transmission).
2. After the transmission has cooled down, unscrew the level with which the oil level is checked.
3. Unscrew the filling valve plug, drain the lubricant.
4. Rinse the pan and oil filter, and then install them in their place (it is worth washing with a special flush).
5. Replace the tube to check transmission oil, after which you can start filling in a new lubricant.

After the new lubricant mixture has been filled in, start the car engine for 3 to 8 minutes, switching gears alternately. After this time, reset the TO sensor (to reset the TO sensor, turn off the engine, then insert the key into the ignition, turn it clockwise by half a turn, after 5 seconds, restart the engine and you're done).

This procedure should be done 2 times, except for resetting the TO sensor 2 times. The engine should be warmed up for the second time for 10 minutes already, with an interval of 10 minutes between the first procedure.

The choice of lubricant for automatic transmission DSG6 2016-2018

For the A5, Tour or A7 Skoda Octavia 1.6 and 1.8 TSI models produced in 2016-2018, the above procedure with minor amendments to the steps is suitable.

First you should look at the technical documentation of the car, where you will find information about which lubricant should be used in your configuration. It should be noted that in the new models, the company's engineers have made changes to the design of the gearbox and sensor systems.

Thus, when changing the lubricant in these models, you will also have to replace the oil temperature sensor (it is attached with right side from the universal automatic transmission sensor, and wrapped in blue insulation). Depending on the configuration, there may be 1 universal sensor. In this case, you will only have to replace it.

automatic transmission oil temperature sensor

The automatic transmission until 2016 differs from the DSG6 automatic transmission not only in design, but also in the required amount of oil. Thus, when changing consumables on a new box, you will need 4 - 5.5 liters of lubricant.

For owners of cars with an MPI index, 5 - 7 liters will be needed, depending on whether you are updating the lubricant for the first time!

Summing up, it should be noted that all the lineup car Skoda Octavia can reliably serve its owner for many years. Thanks to the hard work of engineers and designers of Skoda, motorists have received really high-quality cars that have managed to establish themselves as the most reliable in terms of price and quality. And due to the fact that Skoda is constantly improving and updating its car models, the number of customers is constantly growing. At the moment, you can be sure that a prosperous future awaits Skoda.

What does DSG 7 repair consist of?

DSG 7 clutch replacement

Old clutch - reduced, there is no gap at all

Old clutch - even both bearings are overheated

The clutch itself is a fairly reliable mechanism, but over time they still wear out. In this case, the clutch DSG 7 Skoda Octavia is replaced. On a 6-speed gearbox, which, as you know, is a wet-type gearbox, this procedure is carried out much less frequently (about once 150-200 thousand km, subject to moderate operation, although cars with mileage of about 300 thousand km often arrived) than in a dry-type gearbox, where a clutch replacement with a DSG 7 may be needed already, starting from 25-30 thousand km.

You should also be aware that the clutch responsible for odd gears wears out faster, because. it is responsible for the operation of 1st and reverse gears (increased load). Constant driving in traffic jams also negatively affects the clutch life.

Initially, manufacturers of 6 and 7 speed DSGs provided for the possibility of replacing clutches in the gearbox and, accordingly, produce repair kits. After this procedure, clutch adaptation is required. For this work (replacement + adjustment + adaptation + installation) we provide a 1 year warranty.

Repair and replacement of mechatronics DSG 7

In the vast majority of cases, problems with a box with two clutches begin due to mechatronics (he actually controls the switching process). On DSG 6, on average, everything happens later than on DSG 7.

Problems with it may arise due to fur. solenoids wear (jerks appear). In this case, usually a complete replacement of mechatronics is not required, but only solenoids change.

Second trouble spot is an the electronic unit mechatronics control, usually problems with it arise due to overheating (when starting on a cold system, the system goes into emergency mode). If the unit cannot be restored, then a replacement is made, followed by reprogramming under desired car. We reprogram DQ200 DQ250 mechatronics for a specific car.

Typical symptoms of malfunctions

Basically, a harbinger of problems is the appearance of jerks, jolts at the start of movement and when switching to downshifts(switch down). In a worse case, the gearbox does not turn on and, accordingly, the car does not drive. In most cases, the box goes into emergency mode, which does not go away when the errors are reset (not always). It’s not worth letting it go by itself, as the rule always works - the sooner, the cheaper the repair of mechatronics DSG 7 Skoda Octavia A5 02E 0AM 0CW, etc.

What to do if mechatronics repair is not possible?

This happens quite often (usually after accidents). You need to replace it with a used, repair or new one, and then reprogram it under desired car. We have a used warehouse, repair mechatronics for DSG 7 in stock. On the spot, we will reprogram for the desired car within 20 minutes. The cost of work is indicated in the table (see above).

Mechanical DSG 7

She also has problems.

Bearing wear produces running noise that increases with RPM and speed. It is solved by opening and subsequent replacement of a set of bearings.

The shift fork is destroyed - even gears disappear and reverse. Falls into emergency mode.

Destruction of the needle bearing on the input shaft, leakage of the input shaft seal. Those who change the clutch - it is strongly recommended to replace these 2 parts.

How does the DSG6 work?

The DSG 6 (DQ250) gearbox uses wet clutches. The 1st clutch is responsible for the inclusion of odd gears and reverse speed, the second is responsible for even gears. This design allows you to connect the next gear at a time when the previous one is still working, and shift under load without interrupting the transmission of torque to the wheels. The weight of this 6-speed gearbox is ~ 93 kg, which is noticeably more than that of the DSG-7.

Clutch operation and gear shifting are controlled by a special unit in the gearbox - mechatronics, which, in its work, uses the readings of specialized sensors and other electronic systems car.

In general, DSG6 on Octavia A5 is enough reliable transmission, much less problematic than the 7-speed counterpart, but at the same time it also gets into repair. Problems can be due to bearing wear, clutch wear, as well as a dual-mass flywheel and, of course, mechatronics. Any of these problems is solved quite budgetary - in DQDL, both partial and overhaul DSG 6 Octavia A5. It is also possible to replace it with a contract DSG6 (DQ250) with mechatronics reprogrammed for the desired machine.

But still, the most problematic nodes in this checkpoint are:

Usually with problems they get to repair the DSG 6 box on the Skoda Octavia A5 to our DQDL service.

What does a DSG6 repair consist of?

Repair/replacement of mechatronics DSG-6

Problems with mechatronics can occur due to fur. solenoids wear (jerks appear). In this case, usually a complete replacement of mechatronics is not required, but only solenoids change.

Mechatronic 02E DQ250

The second problem area is the mechatronics electronic control unit, usually problems with it arise due to overheating (when starting a cold system, the system goes into emergency mode). If the unit cannot be restored, then a replacement is made with subsequent reprogramming for the desired machine. We reprogram mechatronics DSG6 DQ250 02E for a specific car.

DSG-6 Clutch Replacement

With significant wear on the clutch of the DSG6 box, the ECU begins to extend the clutch engagement rod as much as possible, thereby forcing the oil pump to constantly work. As a result, it starts to overheat (usually the contact insulation melts), and a short circuit may occur in the DSG ECU itself (due to increased temperature).

The clutch, which is responsible for odd gears, is most exposed to wear, since with the help of it the car starts moving (and as you know at this moment maximum load). The state of the clutch (its liveliness) can be determined by diagnostics.

Work examples

Octavia A5 2011 1.4T 122 HP DSG 7 0AM DQ200 mechatronics replacement. Incoming diagnostics showed a malfunction of the hydraulic part of the mechatronics, as well as sufficient clutch wear. After agreeing with the client, it was decided to repair only the hydraulic part of the mechatronics, and postpone the replacement of the clutch until the summer - with normal diagnostics, it is possible to predict the critical wear of the clutch and say how much longer it will travel. They replaced the hydraulic part, poured new oil into the box and made adaptation.

The bearing in the crankshaft fell apart and ate the shaft - it needs to be changed

The 0AM box (partner service from the Skodov club) was received for repair. Troubleshooting revealed a primary shaft eaten by a bearing in the crankshaft, oil leaks from under the seals, as well as a collapsed fork of the second clutch. The box was dismantled, washed - all seals were replaced. The input shaft was replaced (spare parts are available (who needs spare parts - write)), the box is assembled. Changed the clutch forks, the clutch remained native. The box was given for installation.
