Tech Note on V8 ATF Leak

[David Weiss <dzweiss@worldnet.att.net>]

Roland,

The bulletin is Group 37, Number 93-01.  ATF leaks from a union between
the oil pressure line and the final drive housing, right side of
transmission.  Audi sez remove the union, clean the threads, and
reinstall w/ Loctite.

Detailed procedure:
1) Remove air cleaner housing.
2) Remove RF wheel.
3) Using a crawfoot (sic) with a long extension and a swivel head,
remove the connector union from oil pressure line and transmission
housing.
4) Clean threads of connector union and reinstall with removable
"Loctite" or equivalent.
5) Tighten connector union to 35 Nm (25 ft-lb).
6) Reinstall oil pressure line.
7) Check for leaks.
8) Reinstall air cleaner housing and RF wheel.

This is the only relevant bulletin I found issued between 1991 and 1995.

HTH,
