I have a VW Jetta 1.8t with the tiptronic transmission and it cost about $3500 to have rebuilt. I was bummed, but these transmissions are notorious for failing.
Something inside the transmission is slipping. To try to avoid the cost of a transmission overhaul try having the transmission fluid and filter changed. You could also try some transmission additive but eventually it will have to be repaired.
yes
It depends on if it is a manual or automatic transmission. For the manual transmission, there is a 17mm Allen plug in the side of it. Crawl under car and take the plug out. You can buy a fluid pump for about $20 at an autoparts store and the 17mm Allen wrench is about $10 at sears. It is pretty easy on the manual transmission, hardest part for me was finding the 17mm Allen wrench. Automatic transmission?? you cannot put the transmission fluid in by yourself you have to take it either to a V.W. dealer or someone who services these types of transmissions the fluid has to be pumped inif you notice there is no dipstick to check the fluid level that's because they use this probe the stick into your transmission to see how much fluid you have the probe costs about $1500 dollars expensiove yes keep in mind it will cost about $20 a quart the reason why I know this is because I am having problems with my transmission in my 2001 jetta if you have any more questions let me know. tunthakit@comcast.net

Transmission fluid changes cost so much because of the location of where the fluid will be changed. Also because, like many cars this car may require a special type of transmission fluid based on its age and mileage.
The cost of transmission fluid and filter will depend on the make of the car. It will also depend on the labor costs if a person has it done at an automobile repair shop. The fluid is about $5 a quart and the filter with the gasket might cost between $15 and $45. Many vehicles take about 10 quarts or more of transmission fluid.
It uses a special kind of transmission fluid that you can only get from the dealer. Cost about $14 per quart, but it is what you must use.
Weak transmission fluid pressure. The fluid goes bad after many miles of use. Have the transmission fluid and filter replaced (about $100) immediately before the transmission goes bad. A transmission for that car cost more than the car is worth.
