2 Notes on the automatic 6-speed

gearbox 09G
Gearbox
The automatic gearbox 09G is equipped with 6 hydraulically ac‐
tivated forward gears. When the lock-up clutch is closed, the 2nd,
3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears become mechanically driven gears by
cutting out the torque converter slip.
Torque converter
The torque converter is equipped with a lock-up clutch. The lock-
up clutch is closed dependent on load and speed. The 2nd, 3rd,
4th, 5th and 6th gears can be driven mechanically (no slip).
ATF
The ATF is filled for life. The ATF need not be changed as part of
a service.
Planetary gearbox and final drive have a shared ATF filling.
Checking and filling ⇒ page 65 .
Note
Only the ATF available as a replacement part may be used in the

automatic gearbox 09G. Other types of oil will cause

Self-diagnosis
Before performing repairs to the automatic gearbox, determine
the cause of the fault as precisely as possible using “Guided Fault
Finding” ⇒ Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system VAS
5051.
Variation of gear-change points for gradients
An additional gear change map automatically selects gear
changes for gradients depending on accelerator pedal position
and driving speed.
♦ Gear change map for extreme uphill gradients is matched to
engine output
♦ Gear change map for extreme downhill gradients is matched
to the braking effect of the engine
♦ Increased engine braking effect can also be obtained by di‐
rectly selecting a specific gear via the tiptronic function, e.g.
when towing a trailer on downhill gradients.

7 Repair instructions
7.1 Contact corrosion!

Contact corrosion can occur if non-approved fasteners are used
on the vehicle (bolts, nuts, washers etc.).
For this reason, only fasteners with a special surface coating are
fitted.
Rubber or plastic parts and adhesives also consist of non-con‐
ductive materials.
If you are not sure whether used parts can be re-installed, always
fit new parts ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue .
Please note:
♦ Use only genuine spare parts: these have been fully tested
and are compatible with aluminium.
♦ We recommend the use of accessories approved by Audi.
♦ Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered by the
warranty.
7.2 General repair instructions

Proper tools and the maximum possible care and cleanliness are
essential for satisfactory gearbox repairs. The usual basic safety
precautions also naturally apply when carrying out repair work.
To avoid repetition, a number of generally applicable instructions
for the various repair procedures are summarised here. They ap‐
ply to the work described in this Manual.

Audi TT 1999 ➤
Guided fault finding, vehicle self-diagnosis and testing system

♦ Before servicing the automatic gearbox, the exact cause of the
malfunction must be determined as precisely as possible via
the vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS
5051B- in the modes “Guided Fault Finding”, “Vehicle Self-
Diagnosis” and “Test Instruments”.
Environmental and waste disposal regulations for oil
♦ ATF, gear oil and any other type of oil must be handled with

♦ Check position of torque converter before installing gearbox
⇒ page 16 .
♦ When installing gearbox ensure dowel sleeves are correctly
seated.
♦ After installing, check ATF level and top up if necessary: plan‐
etary gearbox and final drive ⇒ page 65 . Capacities and
specifications ⇒ page 4
O-rings, oil seals and gaskets
♦ Always renew O-rings, oil seals and gaskets.
♦ After removing gaskets and seals, always inspect the contact
surface on the housing or shaft for burrs resulting from removal
or for other signs of damage.
♦ Thoroughly clean housing joint surfaces before assembling.
♦ The open side of the oil seal should face the side containing
the fluid.
♦ Before installing, lightly lubricate outer circumference and
sealing lips of oil seals with ATF or gear oil, depending on fit‐
ting location.
♦ Lightly lubricate O-rings with ATF before installation to prevent
them getting crushed during assembly.
♦ Use only ATF for parts running in ATF. Other lubricants will
cause malfunction of the gearbox hydraulics.
♦ When installing a new oil seal, position the seal such that the
sealing lip does not contact the shaft in the same place as the
old seal (make use of installation depth tolerances).
♦ After installing, check ATF level and top up if necessary: plan‐
etary gearbox and final drive ⇒ page 65 . Capacities and
specifications ⇒ page 4
7. Repair instructions 9
Audi TT 1999 ➤
Nuts, bolts
♦ Loosen bolts in reverse sequence to the specified tightening
sequence.
♦ Nuts and bolts which secure covers and housings should be
loosened and tightened in diagonal sequence and in stages if
no tightening sequence is specified.
♦ Parts which are particularly sensitive to distortion (e.g. valve
body) must be kept straight when removing and installing;
loosen or tighten diagonally in stages.
♦ The tightening torques stated apply to non-oiled nuts and
bolts.
♦ Renew self-locking nuts and bolts.
♦ Use a wire brush to clean the threads of bolts which are se‐
cured with locking fluid. Then apply locking fluid -AMV 185 101
A1- to bolts again before fitting.
♦ Threaded holes which take self-locking bolts or bolts coated
with locking fluid must be cleaned (using a tap or similar). Oth‐
erwise there is a danger of the bolts shearing off the next time
they are removed.
♦ Renew bolts which are tightened by turning through a speci‐
fied angle.
Circlips, snap rings
♦ Do not over-stretch circlips.
♦ Renew circlips which have been damaged or over-tensioned.
♦ Circlips must be properly seated in the base of the groove.

Audi TT 1999 ➤
8 Rules for cleanliness when working

on the automatic gearbox
♦ Thoroughly clean all joints and connections and the surround‐
ing areas before dismantling.
♦ Use cleaning fluid -D 009 401 04- to clean the gearbox and its
components.
♦ Use lint-free cloths for cleaning; Audi recommends the “WY‐
PALL X70 / WORKHORSE” cloth from Kimberly-Clark Pro‐
fessional.
♦ Seal off open lines and connections with clean plugs or sealing
caps immediately.
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them over.
Use sheeting and paper. Use lint-free cloths.

2.1 Checking selector mechanism and igni‐

tion key removal lock
Proceed as follows:
♦ It should not be possible to operate the starter while the se‐
lector lever is in position “S”, “D” or “R” or in the tiptronic
position.
♦ On right-hand drive vehicles the starter should not operate in
selector lever positions “P” and “N” when the locking button in
the selector lever handle is pressed.
♦ If the selector lever is moved into position “N” while the vehicle
is rolling at a speed above 5 km/h, the solenoid for the selector
lever lock must not engage and block the selector lever. The
selector lever can be shifted into a driving gear.
♦ If the selector lever is moved into position “N” while the vehicle
is rolling at a speed below 5 km/h (almost at a standstill), the
solenoid for the selector lever lock should only engage after a
delay of approx. one second. The selector lever cannot be
shifted out of position “N” until brake pedal is depressed.
Selector lever in position “P” and ignition switched off:
The ignition key can be removed.
Selector lever in any position other than “P” and ignition switched
off:
The ignition key cannot be removed.
Selector lever in position “P”, button on selector lever pressed in
and ignition switched on:
• Brake pedal not depressed:
The selector lever is locked with the button pressed in, and cannot
be shifted out of position “P”. The solenoid for selector lever lock
blocks the selector lever.
• Brake pedal depressed:
The solenoid for selector lever lock releases the selector lever
and a gear can be engaged. Shift the selector lever slowly from
position “P” through “R, N, D and S” and check whether the dis‐

play in the instrument cluster shows the correct selector lever

position in each case.
Selector lever in position “N”, button on selector lever pressed in
and ignition switched on:
• Brake pedal not depressed:
The selector lever is locked and cannot be shifted out of position
“N”. The solenoid for selector lever lock blocks the selector lever.
• Brake pedal depressed:
The solenoid for selector lever lock releases the selector lever
and a gear can be engaged.
Note
♦ If you depress the brake pedal you can shift from “N” to “D”
without pressing the button on the selector lever.
♦ However, to shift from “N” to “R” you do have to additionally
press the button on the selector lever.
Selector lever in position “D”, ignition switched on:

The selector lever is locked and cannot be shifted from “D” to “S”.
• Press button on selector lever:
The selector lever is released and can be shifted from “D” to “S”.
Selector lever in position “D”, ignition and lights switched on:
• Shift selector lever into tiptronic gate:
The illuminated “D” symbol in the selector lever position display
should go out and the “+” and “–” symbols should light up.
The selector lever position display in the instrument cluster should
switch from “PRNDS” to “654321” when the selector lever is
moved into the tiptronic gate.
• Move the selector lever in the tiptronic gate to “+” and “–”.
When you move the selector lever to “+” or “–”, the display
“654321” in the instrument cluster should move one gear up or
down accordingly.

Procedure
• Gearbox must not be in emergency running (backup) mode.
• Drive vehicle onto lifting platform or inspection pit to make sure
it is placed absolutely horizontal.
• Selector lever at position “P”.
• Exhaust hose(s)Protected
of an exhaust gas extractor (switched on)
must be connected.
• Engine idling.
• The air-conditioner and heating system must be switched off.

• Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS
5051B- connected up; Vehicle self-diagnosis and vehi‐
cle system 02 - Gearbox electronics selected.
• The ATF temperature at the beginning of the test must not be
higher than 30 °C. If necessary, first allow the gearbox to cool
down.
Note
♦ The ATF level will vary according to the ATF temperature.

♦ If the ATF level is checked when the ATF temperature is too
low, this will result in overfilling.
♦ If the level is checked when the ATF temperature is too high,
this will result in underfilling.
♦ Both overfilling and underfilling will impair the function of the
gearbox.
♦ The ATF temperature is taken from the reading on the vehicle
diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS 5051B- .

Checking and correcting ATF level
Note
♦ The ATF level is checked at the ATF inspection hole.

♦ The ATF level is correct if a small amount of fluid comes out
at the ATF inspection plug when ATF temperature is between
35°C and 45°C, or 50°C in hot climates (the fluid level rises
due to expansion as it warms up).
– Place used oil collection and extraction unit -V.A.G 1782- be‐
low gearbox.
WARNING
Wear safety goggles.

Audi TT 1999 ➤
– When ATF reaches temperature of 35 °C, unscrew plug -A-

for ATF inspection hole.
– Cut open seal -arrow- for plug and renew.
Note
When the plug is opened, a small amount of ATF will always run
out of the overflow pipe -arrow 2-.
If ATF continues to come out through ATF inspection hole via

overflow pipe before ATF has reached a temperature of 45 °C,
the ATF level is OK.
Note
♦ Plug for ATF inspection hole must be screwed in again at the

latest when ATF reaches temperature of 45 °C (countries with
hot climates: 50 °C).
♦ If ATF temperature exceeds 45 °C too much fluid will escape
as it expands when heated. In this case the quantity of fluid in
the gearbox is NOT sufficient!
– Fit new seal on plug -arrow 1- and tighten.

The ATF check is now completed.

– Exit from function “Measured values” by pressing ← button.

– Press “End output”.
– Switch off ignition and unplug diagnostic connector.
