Checking the fluid on these vehicles isn't easy. The transaxle is considered by the manufacturer to be a "sealed" unit, to which the fluid doesn't need to be added unless a leak is evident. There is no conventional dipstick in the engine compartment, but rather a level inspection plug accessible only from below the transaxle.

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 dipstick by design, this is a dealer service only, or authorized VW servce center.
