In a 2006 Volkswagen Passat, the Transmission Fluid symbol warning light is located on the odometer. The yellow light is a representation of the engine with the word check .
where is the transmission fluid dipstick on a 1999 volkswagen v6
The transmission is serviced with lifetime fluid and does not have a dipstick. The fluid can be changed by the dealership with a special tool.
You can't change the transmission fluid on any volkswagon Passat no matter what the year. I have a 2004 volkswagen passat and my friend accidently let the transmission fluid out instead of the oil , and I had to spend 311 dollars to get it all replaced. The volkswagon car dealership out here, where I live, said that they are the only ones who can change the transmission fluid on this particular model vehicle. Sorry, about that
There is no transmission dipstick on automatic or manual transmission Passats. The automatic (tiptronic) transmissions have a "lifetime" fluid that can generally only be changed by the dealer.
the VW dealership told me it is a sealed transmission. So drive it till it drops. At least that's what they told me.
Hello All Automobiles require Transmission Fluid. Something has to lubricate the gears. Good Luck and Remember.Change Your Mind, Not Your Oil.Use the First In Synthetic Motor Oil's.See My Bio For more information.
I have a 2000 passat 2.8 v6 wagon, and have owned a 1999 passat 2.8 v6 sedan. I have been told by VW service departments that the AUTO trans units are SEALED so you cannot add fluid! Not sure about manual trans.
See this excellent page........ http://www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance/atfchange/ Didn't VW make it difficult?
the green cap is the power steering fluid
There's no dipstick in new passat, you have to take it to the dealership where they have a special device that hook up to your transmission.
