tiptronic fluid

[PAULSPEED]

Hi,

I was told by a repair shop that the dealer will only sell 20 liters

of fluid. The 20 liters cost over $400.

Does anyone know where to get 4 Quarts of porsche Transmission

fluid for a tiptronic?

Paul,

The fluid used in Tiptronic cars is Esso ATF LT 71141 it is sold in 20 litre jugs however, it is repackaged for all the German car MFG's,

Ref. VW Audi Pn. is G052162A2 1 Litre. I used this stuff to service my Tiptronic in my 1999 996 C2. Provided your car has a 5HP19 varant this is what is recommended. I used approx 6-7 litres when I serviced my car.

Whay are you doing this service, it normally is recommended at 90K? Just to be on the safe side I would check which exact model Transmission you have and look on the ZF site for service information located on thier site for the exact fluid reqd. Your Porsche parts advisor can help also.

VW Audi Pn. is G052162A2 1 Litre can be purchased on line at the following site: http://etyproducts.server101.com/autobahn%20chemicals.htm approx $11.00 per container. But like I said you want to check first to see if you can use it.

Hi

The tiptronic gearboxes are from Mercedes Benz on 996 and 997 since MY 2002 or 2003. ZF tips are only for 986 987 and 987-C. Look out for this!
