How to Change the Transmission Fluid in an Automatic Audi TT 2003
The 2003 Audi TT has an injection transmission system. This means that the car has a gearbox which houses the fluid instead of a transmission drain pan. In order to change the transmission fluid on this car, a special socket wrench designed specifically for Audis is required to remove the drain bolt. Another difference is that the fluid goes into a fill plug through a fluid pump, instead of through the dipstick tube in the top of the engine.
