Where do I find the transmission dip stick on a 2004 VW Passat

Manual transmission is easy. There is a fill plug on the left axle flange and a drain plug on the bottom (special bit required).

The automatic must be filled while running so it really isn't a DIY.

no dip stick . small hex plug in pan . fluid should stream out when the engine is running.

It goes in the place where the dip stick for your transmission dip stick is. Check the level per the instructions from VW. WARNING: DO NOT OVER FILL

Warm the car by driving around the block. Find the tranny dip stick, pull it, wipe it and check it again. If the oil level in in the cross hatch area, the level is fine.

The dipstick is marked ATF Engine Oil and is close to the oil. Pull this dipstick out. Wipe it off with a clean paper towel. Look at the fluid on the paper towel. Transmission fluid needs replacing if it is brown. Fresh transmission fluid is translucent red.

it aint got one,its sealed for life,VW made it that way so you have to visit a dealer and get the box drained and refilled at a dealer..plus any things that" may show up" on the diagnostics.recon on 100k to get it sorted.

unfortunately your car does not have a dipstick. if it is an automatic transmission, there is a specialized procedure involving the dealers scan tool to check the level.

Locate the transmission dip stick,drivers side back of the battery.The fluid goes into the dipstick tube hole,you need a small funnel.

Hi!!

Take the measuring stick from sleeve, place a funnel into sleeve (two dollars at your favorite auto parts) and add tranny fluid to level. Do not overfill.

Click below if helpful, good luck.

There is no automatic transmission dip stick on your car. There is a long procedure to check and fill and you will need special fluid from VW. Better left to the dealer. If you want the procedure let me know.

It sound as it your oil pressure senser or the oil pump needs replacing.
