where is the Transmission Fluid dipstick
on a 1999 Volkswagen v6
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.
There is no transmission dipstick on automatic or manual transmission Passats. The automatic (tiptronic) transmissions have a "lifetime" fluid that can generally only be changed by the dealer.
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 .
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.
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
It don't have one. It is filled for "lifetime" with very special and expensive transmission fluid.
it doesnt have one vw thought that the trany fluid would never need to be changed
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 add fluid to your Volkswagen Jetta's automatic transmission, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is running. Locate the transmission fluid dipstick, usually found near the back of the engine bay. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, then remove it again to check the fluid level. If needed, use a funnel to add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the dipstick tube until it reaches the proper level. Always consult your owner's manual for specific fluid type and capacity.
I have a 99 jetta, and you are unable to check the transmission fluid on your own. You will have to take it to a service station where they will check it for you for free.
you realy need a VW agent as the level is checked using a diagnostic tool.
There is no dipstick by design, this is a dealer service only, or authorized VW servce center.
