Hi k_belal,

The recommended transmission fluid for the 1999 VW Passat is Esso LT 71141. There are several US distributors of it, but it is mostly stocked in drums, and sold at a pretty high dollar($15-$19) for single quarts.

I hope this helps.

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.
