The Germans know how to not only create high-quality, reliable cars, but also delight all fans of the German automobile industry with fleeting surprises.

They did not bypass one of the most popular models in Europe - Volkswagen Polo. Fans of the German automaker are looking forward to the release updated version Polo.

Numerous updates will affect both exterior and interior details, as well as the technical equipment of the car.

In our country, the sedan is one of the best-selling cars in the line car company from Wolfsburg. Popularity is due to two factors:

• Reliability - exclusively for our roads, the Germans assemble sedans that are stronger and more stable in comparison with European models.
• High efficiency - Polo is one of the most economical cars in the world.

Features of automatic gearbox

Replacing consumables for any car is a standard process. Various oils, filters, brake pads- everything wears out over time. The Polo sedan is no exception.

The most difficult element to replace is the transmission oil in an automatic transmission. It's at the same time headache for automatic transmissions on all foreign cars and great option earnings for service centers and repair shops. “Automatic” cars work more efficiently and functionally than manual transmissions, so they use more oil. The temperature of the liquid increases, the additives used in the composition heat up, and their operating dynamics increase. As a result, the oil begins to lose its properties.

If you can drive a manual transmission, as many say, “for the rest of your life,” without rotating the oil, then you can’t drive a car with an automatic transmission for a long time on one mixture.

Functional feature transmission fluid in an automatic transmission (however, as for other installations - manual transmission, “robot”, CVT) is quality transmission maximum torque. It lubricates and cools the elements of the device and cleans the units exposed to mechanical stress from accumulated dirt and deposits caused by wear of structural parts. Therefore, to prevent the service life of the transmission from being shortened, it is strongly recommended to periodically change the oil in the box.

Automatic transmission oil is a consumable material that you do not need to save on. The performance of the gearbox depends on it.

Technical regulations and possible problems

The German manufacturer advises to resort to a replacement procedure every 60,000 km. However, it does not take into account the state Russian roads, climate and weather. Therefore, experts from dealer centers in Russian cities recommend bringing the car to Maintenance to change the transmission fluid after 25,000 km. The maximum mileage is 40,000 km. If you exceed the limit with each new kilometer, the consequences will become more critical.

If strange sounds begin to appear in the box, and the car slows down, moves jerkily, or even stops responding to gear changes, then the reason most likely lies in contaminated transmission oil, which has lost its lubricating properties.

Many car enthusiasts, in order to save on buying oil, drain only half of the used fluid and add new fluid - this is the wrong technique. For high-quality operation of all components of the unit, it is necessary to completely pour out the used oil and be sure to rinse the tank. Otherwise, the consequences may require substantial financial investments.

The automatic transmission of the Volkswagen Polo is a 6-speed unit, produced in two sedans, Comfortline and Highline. Both designs are paired with a 1.6-liter engine producing 105 hp. The “code” name of the transmission is ZF 5HP19.

If the replacement regulations are not followed, as a rule, the valve body of the box takes the first blow. First, the torque converter fork burns to the moving parts, and then the bearings fail, affecting operation oil pump. As a result, the entire unit breaks down, the cost of which can cost the owner of a Polo sedan a pretty penny.

Problems with solenoids also often occur. Worn parts lead to an increase in pressure in the system, which negatively affects the operation of the drums.

Poor quality oil can also lead to wear of the oil pump cover and, as a result, the formation of leaks in the structure.

Instructions for self-replacement

The process of changing automatic transmission oil is not as complicated as it seems. You can do the work yourself without contacting a service center.

A huge problem for car enthusiasts, especially for those who are beginning to learn the basics of driving, is the selection of the necessary consumables. It is enough to look into any car store to be horrified by the endless assortment of transmission oils, filters and gaskets.

Which oil should you choose? This question is probably asked by every second Volkswagen Polo owner. You should not pay attention to pushy salespeople in a specialty store. For them, the main thing is to sell it at a higher price, but how the car drives is no longer important to them.

Qualitative original oil for automatic transmissions it bears the complex marking VW ATF (G055025A2). This special liquid, designed for Polo sedan boxes.

In addition to the oil, you need to select a filter with code VAG 09G325429 and a pan gasket VAG 09G321370. In addition, you will need a drain gasket, a drain plug, a container for old oil, a dry rag and a set of wrenches.

Replacement sequence transmission oil in automatic transmission:

An interesting fact is that some Volkswagen Polo models do not have a drain hole. Therefore, pump out worn oil You can use the same syringe or a special pump.

The total duration of work will be about one and a half hours. It all depends on the level of professionalism of the car enthusiast. While operating the vehicle, it is strongly recommended to periodically analyze the condition of the transmission oil, its color, density and level. If the liquid becomes dark, it means that harmful impurities have accumulated in the structure, indicating wear of the lubricant.

Finally, the price for those who decide to change the oil themselves will be significantly lower than for those who contact the service center. Service in dealer centers costs about 2500 rubles.

The cost of the main components can be estimated approximately as follows:

• ATF oil (G055025A2) - about 1000-1500 rub./liter.
• Oil filter VAG 09G325429 − 2000-3000 rub.
• Pan gasket VAG 09G321370 − 2000-2500 rub.

Thus, you can completely meet the amount of 14,000–15,000 rubles. according to the latest prices.

Replacing transmission fluid in an automatic transmission is an important step in the operation of a sedan, which in no case should be neglected. It will save the car owner’s finances and save him from unnecessary waste of nerves when restoring the gearbox.

Although the German automaker created a separate version of the Polo sedan for our market, designed for cold off-road conditions, the transmission assembly technology remained the same as on its European counterparts. And in Europe, needless to say, they know how to build roads. There, “consumables” are changed much less often, and they drive “state-owned” cars much longer.

German automakers are known for the high quality of their products. They often delight their fans with various new products. The most popular model among European car enthusiasts is the Volkswagen Polo. The famous German automaker announced the release of its updated version. Positive changes are expected in the design as internal space interior and external body parts. Technical equipment modern car will also delight you with numerous improvements.

High popularity German cars among numerous Russian buyers due to the following factors:

• Increased reliability.
• Economical.

When manufacturing reliable sedans for buyers in our country, the Germans take into account the peculiarities of operating cars in the conditions of Russian paved roads Low quality. German cars sold to Russians are characterized by increased strength and stability technical characteristics, in comparison with European samples.

Among the numerous models famous company The Polo has relatively low fuel consumption. Thanks to this factor, the car belongs to the category of economical vehicles.

FEATURES OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VOLKSWAGEN POLO SEDAN

Replacement of worn-out elements and fluids (lubricants, coolants) in cars various brands is a standard process. Most often you have to change lubricants, filter elements, and brake pads. The Polo sedan also needs regular replacement oils

OIL CHANGE - MAIN PROBLEMS

European car manufacturers recommend producing complete replacement after 60 thousand kilometers. However, our experts claim that the oil change should be carried out after the next 25,000, maximum 40,000 km. This is caused by the poor quality of domestic highway surfaces, difficult weather, climatic features etc. If the allowed limit is exceeded, every extra kilometer traveled on old oil can result in unpredictable consequences.

Advice: if the automatic transmission makes unusual sounds, the car loses speed, moves jerkily, loses control and does not respond to gear changes - the fault is with poor oil quality. It is oversaturated with harmful wear elements and has lost its useful properties.

Car owners often make a mistake when making partial replacement oils To save on the purchase of high-quality transmission oil, they use the wrong method: they drain half of the used material, and then pour a fresher portion of oil into the automatic transmission.

To provide quality work transmission components and parts, it is recommended:

• completely drain the old oil;
• Rinse the inner walls of the tank to remove any remaining waste mixture.

1. Sintering of a fork with moving elements.
2. Seized bearings affecting the functions of the oil pump.
3. Automatic transmission breakdown.
4. Transmission blocking.
5. A sharp increase in internal pressure in the box.
6. Malfunction of the clutch drums.
7. Accelerated wear of oil pump elements.
8. Occurrence of oil leaks.

INDEPENDENT OIL CHANGE IN AUTOMATIC MACHINE

Experienced owners of German sedans often change the automatic transmission oil with their own hands without outside help. They cope with the task no worse than service company mechanics.

For beginners who are just learning the basics of servicing and controlling an automatic transmission, it becomes a big problem right choice oils The retail chain offers a wide range of filter elements, oil seals, gaskets, oils, etc. It is difficult not to make a mistake when making a purchase suitable oil for automatic transmission.

How to choose the right oil for the VOLKSWAGEN POLO automatic transmission? This question arises for many car owners. Before visiting specialized brand stores, it is recommended to study the recommendations of the Polo sedan car manufacturers, set out in the car’s passport. This is necessary so as not to purchase low-quality oil on the advice of unscrupulous or incompetent sellers.

Oil marking High Quality The original composition for automatic transmission is: VWATF (G055025A2). This brand oils are specially designed for Polo automatic transmissions.

• oil filter element (its article number is VAG09G325429);
• pan seal (art. VAG09G321370);
• gasket, drain cover;
• a trough for collecting used oil;
• assorted wrenches;
• wipes for cleaning parts.

How to change the oil

The responsible procedure is performed in a strict order of operations

Sequence of work:

1. Installation vehicle above the inspection hole.
2. Engaging the parking brake.
3. Dismantling the metal protection screen (in this case, it is necessary to unscrew several bolts from the protection with wrenches).
4. Installing a container for draining used old oil.
5. Unscrewing the drain cap in the pan.
6. Direct draining of contaminated oil (the duration of this procedure is at least 40 minutes).
7. Removing the pallet.
8. Replacement oil filter(remove several bolts holding the filter in place).
9. Thoroughly clean all elements of the pallet using prepared rags using an alcohol solution.
10. Installing a rubberized gasket around the perimeter of the pan (this is done to prevent possible accidental oil leaks).
11. Installing the pan in its original place. Screwing in the oil drain plug in the automatic transmission crankcase using a special seal.
12. Removing rubber fragments from a worn gasket from the threaded part of the drain hole. The crankcase is equipped with a small hole intended for filling with new oil. It is located on the side of the crankcase and is very inconvenient for changing the oil. To pour transmission oil through this narrow neck, an elastic hose of small diameter is used. The oil volume for automatic transmission is 7 liters. After filling the crankcase lubricating fluid The filler hole is carefully closed.

Now you can turn on the engine. In this case, it is recommended to press the brake pedal and bleed the automatic transmission selectors. The gearshift knob is held for ten seconds alternately in each position. Power unit is turned off, the volume of oil filled is checked with a metal dipstick or a regular screwdriver. If the level is insufficient, add the required amount of oil.

If an experienced car enthusiast with a high professional level is doing the oil change, the whole job will take no more than two hours.

Sometimes there are models of German Volkswagen Polo cars without oil drain holes. Wherein craftsmen remove worn-out oil with an ordinary syringe or through a thin elastic tube using a pump

Features of operating cars with automatic transmission VOLKSWAGEN POLO SEDAN on domestic roads

During the operation of Polo cars, it is recommended to regularly monitor changes in condition and appearance oils:

• shade;
• consistency;
• amount of oil.

Darkening of the oil indicates a large accumulation of harmful impurities, lubricant outdated and worn out, additives have lost their useful properties.

Change of oil on our own It costs much less than paying for the services of dealer companies.

Regularly changing the oil in the automatic transmission of VOLKSWAGEN POLO SEDAN is a mandatory procedure. This measure cannot be neglected; changing the oil is necessary to ensure the safety of the working elements of the automatic transmission, as well as to increase the service life of the entire vehicle.

German automobile corporation creates a sedan version with automatic transmission, adapted to the conditions of a harsh snowy winter. However, when assembling the transmission, technologies similar to European counterparts are used. The cars used on our roads need more frequent replacement transmission oils.

Transmission fluid in a gearbox is used to lubricate moving parts and cool parts that can become very hot during operation. Using old and low quality oil will invariably lead to problems with the automatic transmission. The first to suffer is the hydraulic unit, the repair of which has an increased cost. That is why we do not recommend that you neglect performing these works and replace the transmission fluid in accordance with the recommendations of the car manufacturer. this work is not difficult, which makes it possible for the car owner to perform it independently.

What kind of oil should I fill in the automatic transmission of a Volkswagen Polo?

Before you begin service work directly, you need to purchase all Consumables. If there are no difficulties with the gaskets and oil filter, then here is the choice required oil can confuse the car owner. In specialized stores you can find dozens of different types of gear oil, which, according to sellers, will be suitable for a Volkswagen Polo car. We would not recommend that you skimp on the quality of transmission fluid, so we advise you to purchase only high-quality original oil. It is marked VW ATF (G055025A2).

The sequence of replacing transmission fluid in automatic transmission Volkswagen Polo

1. Work is carried out on inspection hole;
2. Turn off the engine and turn off everything electrical devices;
3. It is necessary to remove the protection, which will allow access to the oil pan;

1. The Volkswagen Polo gearbox housing has a rather original design, so it takes about 40 minutes to completely drain the oil from it;

1. After this time, you can begin to dismantle the pan and replace the old oil filter;
2. The filter is secured with three bolts, so you are guaranteed to have no difficulties replacing it;

1. The dismantled pan must be washed with a rag soaked in solvent. We lay a new gasket, after which it is necessary to install the pan in place. Don’t forget to use a new rubberized gasket to avoid oil leaks from the pan;

Cleaning the automatic transmission pan

1. Take a new one drain plug and a new seal and firmly fix the plug in the box housing. Clean the threads of the drain hole from the remains of the old rubber gasket;
2. Locate the filler hole in the box. Using a syringe or a small flexible hose, fill in new transmission fluid;

1. Filling the gearbox with the required amount of oil must be closed drainer and start the engine. While holding down the brake pedal, switch the gearbox operating modes, fixing the selector in each position for 10 seconds
2. We turn off the engine and check the existing oil level. If necessary, it must be topped up through the filler hole.

At this point, all work is completely completed. Total renovation work It will take you about an hour and a half. There is no difficulty in carrying them out, which allows you to change the oil in the box yourself even for those car owners who have a minimal understanding of how to carry out service work with a car.

While operating your vehicle, do not forget to regularly check the transmission oil level and assess its condition. If the oil quickly darkens, this indicates its physical wear, which forces more frequent work. If replacing the fluid in the box does not solve the problem, contact us at free diagnostics, we will find the cause of the malfunction and eliminate it, carry out a repair that will cost you much less than other services.

The manufacturer recommends changing the oil in the automatic transmission of a Volkswagen Polo every 60 thousand kilometers. However, when operating in Russian conditions, it is recommended to reduce this interval to 40 thousand kilometers. Remember that Changing the oil in an automatic transmission Volkswagen Polo sedan should be carried out on a regular basis, so you can protect the gearbox from damage and allow you to save on operating the car.

Periodically (but at least once every 30,000 km) check the oil level in mechanical box transmission The manufacturer does not provide for an oil change. However, sometimes such a need may arise, for example, when switching to an oil of a different viscosity, when repairing a gearbox, etc. Due to the absence of oil drainage elements on the gearbox (plug, pan, etc.), contact a service center to change the oil.

Fill the manual transmission with API GL4 SAE 75W-80 oil.

1. Unscrew the control (fill) hole plug, placing a container in case of oil leakage.

2. Check the oil level: it should be at the lower edge of the filler hole.

3. If necessary, add oil with a syringe until it appears from the filler hole.

4. Screw in the filler plug and tighten it to a torque of 30 Nm.

Changing the oil (transmission fluid) in the automatic transmission Polo sedan

The manufacturer provides for checking the level of working fluid in the automatic transmission every 60 thousand kilometers. Fluid replacement is not provided for the entire service life of the vehicle. However, the need to replace the fluid may arise if it becomes dirty or if a burning smell appears. In this case, contact a service center, because in addition to replacing the fluid, they will diagnose the gearbox due to the fact that the listed signs may indicate its damage.

You will need: gearbox fluid, a funnel, a clean rag, a 5mm hex key.

1. Start the engine and warm up the gearbox. The fluid temperature in the gearbox should be 50-80 °C. To speed up the warm-up, you can take a short trip in your car. Usually at a temperature environment 20 °C is enough for a 10-minute trip.

The temperature of the working fluid is determined using a special diagnostic equipment connected to the vehicle's diagnostic connector.
2. Place the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface and apply the parking brake.

3. Press the brake pedal and, keeping it pressed, alternately move the selector lever to all positions from “P” (parking) to “D” (forward), pausing briefly in each position to fill the torque converter with fluid and hydraulic system. After this, set the selector lever to the “N” (neutral) position. Release the brake pedal.

The level of the working fluid varies depending on the temperature. Controlling the liquid level at low temperatures leads to overflow, and at high temperature fluid - to insufficient filling of the gearbox. Overfilling or underfilling interferes with the operation of the gearbox.

4. Place a wide container under the gearbox to drain the working fluid.

5. Remove the plug from the hole to control the working fluid level.

6. At a normal level, the working fluid begins to flow out of the hole when the temperature reaches 35-37 °C.

To control the level, a bypass tube B is installed in hole A, the upper edge of which corresponds to the normal level of the working fluid.

The burning smell of the working fluid with the simultaneous presence of foreign particles in it in the form of fragments of friction material indicates the need to repair the gearbox.

8. If the working fluid does not begin to flow out of the control hole when the temperature rises to 45 °C, it is necessary to add fluid.
9. Insert a hose through the level control hole into the overflow tube so that its end is above the edge of the overflow tube.

10. Install in top end hose funnel and when operating in mode idle move fill the engine working fluid until it begins to flow out of the control hole.

The liquid should flow out of the control hole in separate drops. If it flows out in a continuous stream, drain off the excess until it drips.

11. Tighten the inspection hole plug to a torque of 27 N m.
