[Astro14]

You are killing my back.

Yeah...but I had a couple of vehicles like yours...it's the only way...and you're no older than I am, so...

Well, I found a clear vinyl tube and that I can force into the dipstick tube and over my funnel.
Worked like a charm. Worked very slow. No runs, no drips, no errors.....

Thanks for y'all's suggestions.

Garden sprayer, vinyl tubing, and a hose clamp would get it done.

Shop air is so much faster - plus this one has a modular design.

I mean he was standing outside in the cold with a funnel, so...

There's also something to be said for spending ~$15 instead of $200.

Critic, I appreciate the suggestion but my I&E has more “E” than it does “I” at the present time.

I suppose context is important, but...

I will say that it is one of those tools where once you've used the good stuff, you won't go back....even if it doesn't make financial sense.

I have a MV7110 that is setup for dispensing ATF. Would love to have another one just for extraction.

I also have a homemade version of the VW tool which is just a 10L jug with a hose used for gravity filling.

That way you just pour in your ATF, set the jug on the roof and open the valve.
