Pumps MTF gear oil from the bottle straight into the sealed Audi 0B5 S tronic gearbox through the fill plug, so the fill goes in without drawing air.
Anyone who has tried to refill an Audi seven-speed S tronic with a squeeze bottle knows the problem: the case is sealed, there is no dipstick, and the fill hole is low on the side of the gearbox with the car in the air. This hand pump kit is the aftermarket version of the VAS6617 filling pump called for in the factory procedure on the 0B5 (DL501) and the 0CK (DL382). It pushes gear oil from the bottle into the case through the fill/level plug under steady pressure, and it reverses to pull old oil out.
The 0B5 is the longitudinal seven-speed dual-clutch box Audi uses in the A4, A5, Q5, A6 and A7 families. Unlike a conventional automatic, it carries two separate oils: an ATF circuit that feeds the wet clutches and the mechatronic, and a gear oil (MTF) side for the gear train and front final drive. Each side has its own drain, fill and level check, and the factory data treats them as separate jobs. On both, the level is set by filling until oil reaches the inspection hole at the specified temperature, which only works if you can meter oil in slowly and stop exactly when it starts to run out. The 500 ml transparent pump body lets you see whether you are moving oil or air, and the screw-fit couplings and seven push-fit adapters plus the VAS6617/12 adapter seal the hose against the port so the fill goes in clean.
If you are doing a 0B5 fluid service, a clutch job or a mechatronic replacement, you need a way to fill it correctly; the gearbox cannot be serviced properly without one. Before you blame fluid level for a shift complaint, scan the transmission module. Ross-Tech notes that water and coolant intrusion at the 0B5 mechatronic connector is not unusual and can fill the module with random communication codes, which no amount of fresh oil will fix. Our DSG mechatronic and clutch problems guide explains how to separate a hydraulic complaint from an electrical one, and DSG pressure testing covers the hydraulic checks.
The kit is listed for VW and Audi 0B5 (DL501) and 0CK (DL382) dual-clutch transmissions. The push-fit adapters cover several port sizes, so it is also useful on other VAG gearboxes that use the same style of fill port, but always check the adapter against your own fill plug thread before starting. If you are unsure which gearbox your car has, the code is on the build sticker, or send us your year and VIN. The full range of dual-clutch parts and tools is on our DSG parts page.
Everything stores in the molded case, about 6.5 lb shipped, so it lives on the shelf until the next S tronic comes in.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is the aftermarket equivalent of the VAS6617 filling pump and includes the VAS6617/12 adapter, so the factory fill procedure for the 0B5 and 0CK still applies when you use it.
Yes, but clean and flush it with the oil you are about to fill each time you switch. The two sides use different oils, and the factory procedure warns against mixing the gear oil with other lubricants.
The level is set at the inspection plug. Pump oil in until it starts to run out of the inspection hole with the car level and the fluid at the temperature the procedure specifies, then fit the plug with a new seal. There is no dipstick.
Yes. The pump reverses to draw oil out, and the kit includes a 90-degree drain device. Most people still drain through the drain plug and use the pump for the refill.
A straight fluid service usually only needs a scan and a road test. After clutch or mechatronic work, run the basic settings with a VW/Audi-capable scan tool once the fluid level and temperature are correct.
