To add the transmission fluid you will first need to allow the Jetta to warm up. Once warmed up place in park, access the transmission drain plug, and then refill.
the plug to add and check the transmission fluid is on the side of the transmission and only accessable from under the vehicle.
AnswerYou add the transmission fluid through the tube at the back of the engine compartment in the dipstick that says trans fluid.
If it is an automatic transmission, you add transmission fluid with a long funnel through the dipstick opening.
pull the tranny dipstick out and add the fluid through the dipstick tube.
The same place you check it.
Down the automatic transmission dipstick tube.
Usually you drain and replace it...;)
You add the trans fluid where the dipstick is at, if it is a manual then you will have to go under the car where the transmission is find the check level plug on the transmission loosen the plug and stick your pinky in it if fluid touches the pinky then your good if not add the fluid there!
You add fluid through the dipstick tube. There is no cap like the oil.
THERE IS NO TRANSMISION DIP STICK ON THE VW JETTA YOU HAVE TO BRING THE CAR INTO VW SERVICE. ONLY THEY CAN CHECK AND ADD TRANSMISION FLUID
