Answer This Question
  • Anonymous Nov 26, 2010

    Hi,

    Is it 4 or 5 speed transmission ? Is the engine is installed horizontally or vertically when you open the hood and look at it? There are 2 possible transmission types in your type of car so I need to know exactly which transmission you have and this is another way of finding out.

    Let me know, so that i could guide you.

    Thanks and Regards

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.

Need to know how to add the transmission fluid
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.

Where do you fill the auto tranns fluid??
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.

I need to know where is the dip stick to check the transmission fluid on a 2003 vw passat
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.
