How to properly assemble the glove box (glove compartment) cover Golf 4, Bora, Passat B5, etc. (rus.) Photo report

The automatic transmission has gained significant popularity over the past 20 years - after all, this method is much more convenient when driving a vehicle. But also the automatic transmission has its own characteristics in terms of the device, so its repair is a separate topic.The Volkswagen Passat B5 car model sometimes causes difficulties for users in terms of gearbox repair, as it has many features. We will find out further how you can fix the device at home, and in order to dive into the topic in more detail, we look at the do-it-yourself video repair of the Volkswagen Passat B5 automatic transmission.

The first step in general home car diagnostics should be to identify the cause of the breakdown. The most common ones here are:

1. Leakage of working fluid. If leaks are visible on the unit, in particular in the area of ​​the sealing gum, then the breakdown happened precisely because of this reason. It is almost impossible to avoid this problem, so it is imperative to visually analyze the state of the box at least once a month.
   If this problem occurs, the solution may be to replace the gasket and transmission fluid.
   
2. Damage to the torque converter. If you have exactly this problem, then it will be possible to repair the automatic transmission Volkswagen Passat B5 with your own hands only with a complete repair of this unit.
   Dysfunction can be identified by the following signs: uncomfortable driving, knocking or crackling in the gearbox, loss of dynamics while driving, strong vibrations in motion.
   
3. Valve body malfunctions. This problem is very common among those drivers who, before driving in the winter season, do not warm up the car properly and start driving. On new car models, the on-board computer will inform you about this problem. You will also notice it yourself: the car drives with constant shaking, vibration, or refuses to move at all.
   
4. Control unit malfunctions. Most often, this problem occurs with relatively old models. The problem manifests itself in the fact that the unit begins to select inappropriate rpm for gear shifting, and it may even block the automatic transmission, which is generally dangerous during the driving period.
   In solving such a problem, a complete replacement of some parts of the control unit and its preliminary professional diagnostics can help.
   

After accurately identifying the problem, you can proceed directly to the repair. If you failed to diagnose and the cause of the breakdown is unclear, it is better to take the car to a professional service center.

Home repair of the Volkswagen Passat B5 automatic transmission begins with the removal of the unit. This is not so easy to do, so the topic needs to be given considerable attention. The unit can be removed on ramps, lifts or in special pits. The procedure itself will require wrenches. We remove the gearbox in several stages:

• We drain the working fluid, after which we dismantle the pallet.
• Disconnect hoses, connectors, pipes, rods.
• Remove all screws that support the torque converter.
• After that, you need to make sure that nothing is holding the gearbox. Then you can carefully remove it while holding the torque converter.

An important feature of this process is that the box cannot be removed without prior preparation. Otherwise, you can complicate the removal procedure and even damage the vehicle.

Self-repair of an automatic transmission for a Volkswagen Passat B5 consists in a complete disassembly of the box and work with its parts. The parsing is carried out as accurately as possible, according to the following algorithm:

1. The first detail that comes into view is the gasket. If it is worn out, then a mandatory replacement is required.
2. Then we study the couplings. Particular attention must be paid here to the friction discs: they must be replaced if they are worn out or malfunctioning.
3. Valve body processing. We thoroughly rinse this part. To perform this procedure most effectively, use special brushes and liquid.
   
4. We check the pistons for suitability: at this stage, the hydrodynamic transformer oil seal and metal seal rings can also be replaced.
5. Then you can start assembling the unit: we assemble the brake package using recently replaced parts. We install the valve body, rinse the pallet.
6. We put the gearbox in place and pour in new gear oil.
   

This is where the whole repair process ends. For more information, see the video repair automatic transmission Passat B5.
