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
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.
There is no dipstick by design, this is a dealer service only, or authorized VW servce center.
you realy need a VW agent as the level is checked using a diagnostic tool.
You can find the 2005 Toyota transmission fluid dipstick on the left-hand side of the transmission. The transmission fluid dipstick will have a blue handle.
