Is there a trick to topping off trans fluid?
2010 Audi A4
I fell victim to many of the issues with this model, and I'm just trying to keep the car running well at this point without breaking the bank. Excessive oil consumption, yes. But that's not the issue right now. The timing chain tensioner failed, and I bought the kit and we fixed it ourselves. Car ran great afterwards. Then the transmission fluid started leaking out, and we replaced the o-ring from where it was leaking. The leaked stopped, however, is there a way to replace just a liter of trans fluid? Where does it go in? I'm female, so don't hate. Lol! Any help you guys can give would be awesome.
