I believe this car has a sealed transmission and so the fluid cannot be changed.
See this excellent page........ http://www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance/atfchange/ Didn't VW make it difficult?
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

To change the transmission fluid on a 2002 VW Passat, you would have to take it to a dealer and have them do it, since they need a special tool, an electronic tester, to check the fluid level. The fluid cannot be too hot or too cool to get an accurate measurement since fluid expands when warmed. Ther is no ATF dipstick. The fluid level is measured electronically.
where is the transmission fluid dipstick on a 1999 volkswagen v6
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.
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.
any
you don't its a sealed system
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.
I guess that you are puzzled by the lack of a transmission dipstick....there isn't one! See the following site for an illustrated guide to changing/checking the auto-transmission fluid. http://www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance/ Enjoy
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 .
