The following aspects of the 0D5 transmission as used in
the A8 are new:
›
The MTF pump in the transfer case, previously driven by
the side shaft, is no longer required.
›
The bearing for the drive pinion of the front drive has
been optimized for friction by double row angular
contact ball bearings.
›
The front differential is lubricated by a new low-viscosity
axle oil.
›
The hydraulic impulse storage system, HIS for short, is
replaced by Transmission Fluid Auxiliary Hydraulic Pump
1 V475. The auxiliary hydraulic pump provides a con-
stant supply of ATF, assists the start-stop function and
allows the TFSI engine to be shut off under coasting in
certain situations.

If the double shaft seal between the planetary gearbox/transfer case is leaking, either ATF or MTF will leak from the drainage port. Refer
