I found this link here https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1494154
Is this what you guys use? And then do you just hook it up to a laptop and perform DCT fluid change procedure following specific steps? |

It's worth noting that pretty much all DCTs use the same pan, even the newer ones.

You need one of these cables: https://www.bimmergeeks.net/product-...eeks-pro-cable and have it setup to be able to run on the software.

The DCT is known to be weird but don't worry its a bulletproof transmission as long as you are not using launch control and supercharging your car. I've seen DCT cars with near 100,000 miles and virtually they work the same since day one, just as jerky and leaky. Quote:

Is it possible to overfill the transmission? How do you know you got enough fluid in there? And the last one: what can you mess up while doing this job and what would be the worst scenario if you make a mistake?

there is no way you can overfill the transmission unless you take out the transmission and you fill it side ways. You can barley add enough fluid from fill point. Pretty sure many DIY'ers are not able to add enough fluid to meet the recommendation.

Does this kit contain everything needed to perform the service? If you say, it is hard to fill it enough, can use of some pressure filler help filling it correctly?
https://www.ecstuning.com/b-assemble...QaAmB_EALw_wcB Also, for mechatronic side gasket, is this all is needed? https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/28607842856/ Or do I need the cover as well? Last edited by aswy6; 09-07-2018 at 09:53 AM.. |

Unscrew the drain bolt, it's a HEX 10mm I THINK Unbolt the torx bolts and let the pan drop -TIP- unbolt a set of torx bolts so that when you loosen the pan, it's at an angle to let residual fluid drain out. Slowly release more torx bolts until most of the fluid is drained out from the pan. This can save yourself from getting very messy. While you're in there, might as well change the DCT filter. My thread has the procedure, and I used another member's DIY for the fluid adjustment. https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1280752 Quote:

I read somewhere you need to lower it and tilt it as much as possible, but it's very tight.

I also have slight leak from the side gasket but I am still debating whether to tackle it myself or just live with it since it is not easy to do as the pan gasket. |
