overstretched.
♦ Retaining rings must locate properly in grooves.
3.4 Gaskets and seals

♦ Renew O-rings, seals and gaskets.
♦ After removing gaskets and seals, always inspect contact sur‐
face of housing or shaft for burrs resulting from removal or for
other signs of damage.
♦ Before installing seals, lightly oil outer diameter and half-fill
space between sealing lips -arrow- with sealing grease -

♦ The open side of the oil seals faces toward the side with fluid
filling.
♦ Only use dual clutch gearbox oil. Other lubricants will cause
problems in function.
♦ Coat O-rings with dual clutch gearbox oil to prevent pinching
of rings during assembly.
♦ After renewing gaskets, O-rings and seals, check oil level in
gearbox and top up if necessary ⇒ page 125 .

3.7 Checking selector mechanism

The starter must not operate in the selector lever positions “R”,
“D” and “S” and in the Tiptronic position.
On right-hand drive vehicles, the starter must operate in selector
lever positions “P” and “N” only when the push-button in the se‐
lector lever handle is not pressed.
Above 5 km/h:
When the selector lever is shifted to “N”, the selector lever lock
solenoid must not lock the selector lever. Selector lever can be
shifted back into a driving range.
Below 5 km/h:
When the selector lever is shifted to “N”, the selector lever lock
solenoid must lock the selector lever only after approx. 1 second.
Selector lever cannot be shifted out of “N” position until brake
pedal is depressed.
Selector lever in “P” position and ignition switched on
• Brake pedal not depressed:

Selector lever is locked and cannot be shifted out of “P” position

when the push-button is pressed. Solenoid for selector lever lock
blocks selector lever.
• Brake pedal is depressed:
Solenoid for selector lever lock releases selector lever. It is pos‐
sible to shift into a driving gear. Slowly shift selector lever from
“P” through to “S”, checking whether selector lever position in
dash panel insert corresponds to selector lever position.
Selector lever in “N” position and ignition switched on
• Brake pedal not depressed:
Selector lever is locked and cannot be shifted out of “N” position
with the push-button pressed. Solenoid for selector lever lock
blocks selector lever.
• Brake pedal is depressed:
Solenoid for selector lever lock releases selector lever. It is pos‐
sible to shift into a driving gear.

Brief description
Selector lever cable must be removed from gearbox so that its
ease of movement can be checked. Put removed end down so it
does not rub against anything.
Then the selector lever must be moved and after that, the Bowden
cable must be reattached to the gearbox.
Then the selector lever cable must be adjusted.
Do not grease connections of cable!

Always adjust selector lever cable if the following applies:
♦ The selector lever cable has been removed from the gearbox.
♦ The engine and/or gearbox has been removed and installed.
♦ Parts of the assembly mounting have been removed and in‐
stalled.
♦ The cable itself or the selector mechanism has been removed
and installed.
♦ The position of the engine and gearbox is shifted, for example
to install it free of tension.

In order to ensure that the breather pipe of the -VAS 6262 A-
adapter for oil filling does not touch the bottom of some oil bottles,
the pipe must be shortened to the length -a-.
• Dimension -a- = 210 mm.
• The dimension -a- is measured from the shaft (green area in
