i JUST came from the volks mechanic and my transmission had been behaving VERY badly-it cost me 140.00 CAD for them to put it on their machines-put 20 of gas in and top up the transmission fluids by 1.5 litres-he said this fixed the problem but proceeded to put the fear into me by telling me its a good idea to get the timing belt changed (1100.00) and a transmission flush and fluid change (500.00)-for those things i am going to get a second opinion-but i hope this helps-basically what it boils down to is that my tranny was NOT slipping-just needed TLC (fluid top up) which btw apparently cannot be done at a reg run of the mill mechanice but only at a dealer since vw's have sealed transmissions (ie. no dipstick and such)
The 2002 Volkswagen Passat has a 5-speed manual.
A slipping transmission on a 2002 Mitsubishi can be caused by low fluid levels. Check the fluid should be the first step in troubleshooting the issue.
Inside the transmission for both manual and automatic.
I believe this car has a sealed transmission and so the fluid cannot be changed.
Low fluid, plugged filter, internal failure.
there is no dip stick it is filled from underneath a lube shop will do it cheap don't wait if your transmission is slipping
There isn't one; there that was easy and unhelpful. A more helpful solution can be found on this site http:/www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance Great record of maintenance on some of the most common repair items for a Passat.
The transmission fluid is not meant to ever need servicing unless the transmission pan has to be removed to repair the transmission. there are special tools involved that are a pain to use.
The 2002 Volkswagen Passat has 20 valves.
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
The 2002 Volkswagen Passat is a gas-powered vehicle.
The 2002 Volkswagen Passat has an inline 4 engine.
