Hand pump for transmission fill

[rick3000]

Not sure if you have a manual or tiptronic, but if it is a manual, you can use a funnel instead of a pump. I attached 3' of vinyl tubing to the end of a funnel with a heat gun, and poured from the engine bay down into the fill hole. It's a lot easier in my opinion, and cost about $3, but you will need an assistant.

FYI, if you have a manual transmission make sure you use the correct OEM oil. Earlier years use a different oil.

This sounds like a winner. Will have to inlist one of the kids to help
Yep, splurged on the Durmah from the dealer, 51$ cdn per litre from the dealer, thus the problem filling as it came in engine oil bottles.
