i JUST came from the volks mechanic and my transmission had been behaving VERY badly-it cost me 140.00 CAD for them to put it on their machines-put 20 of gas in and top up the transmission fluids by 1.5 litres-he said this fixed the problem but proceeded to put the fear into me by telling me its a good idea to get the timing belt changed (1100.00) and a transmission flush and fluid change (500.00)-for those things i am going to get a second opinion-but i hope this helps-basically what it boils down to is that my tranny was NOT slipping-just needed TLC (fluid top up) which btw apparently cannot be done at a reg run of the mill mechanice but only at a dealer since vw's have sealed transmissions (ie. no dipstick and such)
The 2002 Volkswagen Passat has a 5-speed manual.
A slipping transmission on a 2002 Mitsubishi can be caused by low fluid levels. Check the fluid should be the first step in troubleshooting the issue.
Inside the transmission for both manual and automatic.
I believe this car has a sealed transmission and so the fluid cannot be changed.
Low fluid, plugged filter, internal failure.
there is no dip stick it is filled from underneath a lube shop will do it cheap don't wait if your transmission is slipping
There isn't one; there that was easy and unhelpful. A more helpful solution can be found on this site http:/www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance Great record of maintenance on some of the most common repair items for a Passat.
The 2002 Volkswagen Passat has 20 valves.
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.
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
The 2002 Volkswagen Passat has an inline 4 engine.
The 2002 Volkswagen Passat is a gas-powered vehicle.
