1. Jack the car up on Axel stands/ramps or if you have access to a pitit will make life a little easier. 2. You need to remove the splash guard underneath the car so you can seethe back of the gear box. 3. Drain the gear box of oil which will require a special tool which youcan get for £10 from Draper Expert 1/2 Square Drive Drain Plug Key For VW Or Audi63476 Draper Hdpk1. 4. Remove the electronic cable that connects onto the ECU that protrudesout the back of the back of the gear box. 5. The back of the gearbox has 12 torques holding the cover in place.Once you have removed most of them you will need to remove the rear enginemount to get at the last torque bolt at the top of the gear box. 6. Support the gear box with a trolley jack so you can lower the gearboxto get at the last few torques. 7. The rear engine mount can be slid towards the back of the car so youcan get at the back of the gear box. There is a couple of other bolts that youwill need to remove that hold the ECU cable in place. 8. Once you have all the torques that hold the gearbox in place thecover can be slid off. 9. Once the cover is removed be careful not to bend the metal gasket asit can be used again as long as it's not damaged (Audi would probably changethis along with the ECU seal). 10. Once the cover is off you can now see the ECU which is held in placeby 3 torques or Star bolts. 11. After the 3 torques have been removed you can then slide the ECU offbut be careful not to bend or tilt it as you remove it from the gearbox as ithas guide rails made of plastic which can break easily.
Yes All the above except I put my car on 4 wheels laid flat which is very stable. I removed and replaced the gear oil. I can't remember how much oil was taken out and no I didn't manage or knew how to empty the torque converter but I drained the Gearbox Sump and refilled it with the exact quantity I removed and added a a tiny amount of Lucas Auto gearbox treatment by little amount I would say 100ml just to lube up the old I couldn't remove.
Thank you for the solution to this query. It is very important to have technical knowledge regarding vehicles. With these easy steps, we can remove the ECU. It can help the users to maintain their vehicle. They can solve these small issues on their own. I want to thank you to the technical team that they are always working to find out the solution for technical issues. I also own a car so it helps me to resolve these technical issues. I am researching technical issues and writing articles. customessaysservice is the best writing service provider which is helping me in my projects.
