A number of general notes on the individual repair procedures,


which were otherwise repeated in the relevant sections of the
manual, are summarised here. They apply for this particular work‐
shop manual.
Guided Fault Finding, vehicle self-diagnosis and test instruments
♦ Before performing repairs to the gearbox, determine the cause
of the fault as accurately as possible ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic
tester, Guided Fault Finding , Vehicle Self-Diagnosis
or Test Instruments .
Special tool
For a complete list of special tools used in this workshop manual,
see ⇒ "Workshop equipment and special tools" .
Gearbox
Always make sure that no dirt can enter an »open« gearbox. In
particular, dirt entering an »exposed« mechatronic unit for dual
clutch gearbox - J743- and/or oil pump can lead to gearbox failure.
♦ If gearbox covers have been unbolted or gearbox has no fluid,
do not run engine or tow vehicle.
♦ First thoroughly clean connecting points and surrounding
areas and then loosen bolts.
♦ When installing the gearbox, ensure that dowel sleeves be‐
tween the engine and gearbox are correctly located.
Locking devices
♦ Do not overstretch retaining rings.
♦ Always renew retaining rings which have been damaged or
overstretched.
♦ Retaining rings must locate properly in grooves.

3.4 Gaskets and seals


♦ Renew O-rings, seals and gaskets.
♦ After removing gaskets and seals, always inspect contact sur‐
face of housing or shaft for burrs resulting from removal or for
other signs of damage.
♦ Before installing seals, lightly oil outer diameter and half-fill
space between sealing lips -arrow- with sealing grease -
G 052 128 A1- .
♦ The open side of the oil seals faces toward the side with fluid
filling.
♦ Only use dual clutch gearbox oil. Other lubricants will cause
problems in function.
♦ Coat O-rings with dual clutch gearbox oil to prevent pinching
of rings during assembly.
♦ After renewing gaskets, O-rings and seals, check oil level in
gearbox and top up if necessary ⇒ page 166 .

3.5 Nuts and bolts


♦ Loosen and tighten securing bolts and securing nut for covers
and housings diagonally.
♦ Specified torques given are for unlubricated nuts, bolts and
screws.
♦ Clean threads of bolts which are to be installed with locking
fluid using a wire brush. Then insert bolts with locking fluid -
AMV 185 101 A1- .
♦ Use a thread chaser to clear residual locking fluid from all
threaded holes into which self-locking bolts are to be screwed.
Otherwise there is a danger of bolts shearing when subse‐
quently being removed.
♦ Check pitch of thread, to ensure correct thread chaser is used
to clean threads and to ensure the threads are not damaged.
♦ Always renew self-locking bolts and nuts.

– Use this formula:
Value “B” minus value “A” minus 0.11 = thickness of shim to
be fitted.
– Note result.
The shims are sized in 0.05 mm increments.
– Measure the shims and determine which one is closest to the
result.

WARNING

Always use the next-largest shim, never the next-smallest.

Example:
Calculated dimension for shim New shim
1.28 mm 1.3 mm
1.26 mm 1.3 mm

– Remove old retaining ring -arrow-.

Note

Do not dispose of ring yet; it will be needed once more.

♦ ⇒ “9.2 Tools for gear oil change”, page 166
Sequence of operations
Test conditions
• Gearbox not in emergency running mode.
• Vehicle is placed on a four-pillar lifting platform or above an
assembly pit to ensure it is in total horizontal position.
• Selector lever in position “P”.
• The parking brake button has been pulled to activate the elec‐
tromechanical parking brake.

Reading gear oil temperature
♦ The gear oil level changes depending on the gear oil temper‐
ature: if the gear oil temperature is too low, too much gear oil
may be filled; if the gear oil temperature is too high, an insuf‐
ficient amount of gear oil may be filled.
♦ An improper gear oil level impairs the function of the gearbox.
♦ At start of work, the oil temperature must not be above 30°C.
If necessary, allow the gearbox to cool down.
♦ Test temperature: 35 … 45°C
– Connect vehicle diagnostic tester -arrow- and identify vehicle
in Guided Functions .
