Renewing ATF breather — AUDI

Note:

If ATF leaks out of the breather in intermediate drive housing even when the oil level is correct, the factory installed plastic ATF breather must be changed for the new steel version ATF breather. In addition, if the gearbox has an ATF filler pipe and dipstick, change the oil pan for the new version with oil overflow hole=>page
