Yes it does. The proper way to check automatic transmission fluid is to check it while engine is at idle.
There isn't any way to add or check transmission fluid. The transmission is sealed. Look in your owners book to locate transmission, if there is no leaking then it is fine. You can always call a VW dealership if you are not satisfied with this answer.
Engine idling in park. Check level on stick.
The automatic transmission has a dipstick that is located near the back of the engine. It is underneath the hood and has a red handle.

There is an automatic transmission dipstick in the engine compartment. The dipstick will have a yellow handle. Check the transmission fluid the same way you would check the motor oil.
Problem with the transmission. You need to have the transmission computer checked for codes to know a possible cause.
If it is an automatic, the fluid should be at operating temperature. The transmission in park and the engine at idle. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry and check the level. Do not overfill.
