Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) checking:
1. Requirements for check:
1.1. Vehicle standing on level surface.
1.2. Transmission must not be in fail-safe mode.
1.3. Shift lever in "P" position, parking brake applied.
1.4. Engine idling.
1.5. Air Conditioner and heater OFF.
1.6. ATF temperature must not exceed 104 Fahrenheit degree (40 Celsius degree) at start of test.
1.7. Only ATF with designation ESSO LT 71 141 may be used. Do not use any lubricant additives.
1.8. Automatic Transmission Fluid ATF - part number: G 052 162 A2 (1 liter wrapping)
1.9. An ATF level check when transmission oil temperature is too low results in overfilling, when too high results in underfilling.
2. CAUTION: Too much or too little ATF will affect the operation of the transmission. The ATF level must be checked at regular intervals.
3. The oil level is correct if a slight amount of oil runs out when ATF temperature is between 86 Fahrenheit degree (30 Celsius degree) and 113 F deg (45 C deg) (caused by increase of oil level when heated). For warmer climates, 122 F deg (50 C deg).
4. Hang filled ATF reservoir VAG 1924 as high as possible.
5. Shift lever in "P" position, engine running at idle.
6. Place oil drip pan under transmission oil pan.
7. Remove ATF filler plug (at the bottom of the automatic gearbox you will find 2 threaded plugs on below surface. First (in front of the car) is for emptying, and second is for filling up.
8. With ATF temperature between 86 Fahrenheit degree (30 Celsius degree) and 113 F deg (45 C deg), for warmer climates, 122 F deg (50 C deg), a slight amount of oil will flow from filler hole when ATF level is correct.
9. If necessary drain or top off ATF to attain correct oil level. Top ATF with filler hook from VAG 1924 ATF reservoir. Insert VAG 1924 (tool) ATF reservoir filler hook into filler hole and top off until a slight amount of oil flows from filler hole.
NOTE: Fit filler hook into one of the oil deflector cap slots placed on the filler opening.
CAUTION: Do not press filler hook upward or oil deflector cap can be pushed off.
10. Reinstall ATF filler plug. Tightening torque is 24 Nm.

04 vw Passat 1.8t how to check and add transmission fluid

You check it underneath the car via the fill / check plug with the car running, level, and the ATF at the proper temperature (IIRC around 95*F). If the tranny is overfilled, the ATF will run out the check plug hole. If it does not run out, then you have to pump ATF in until it runs out.

How many ATF go to the aut. trasmission?

You need a scan tool to check the automatic transmission fluid on this car. The scan tool is needed to know the temperature of the fluid which must be close to 40 degrees celsius. At that point you remove the fill plug in the bottom of the transmision pan and fill with fluid until fluid drains back out. Use only genuine VW fluid part number G 052162A2 or you will damage the transmision. If you fill with fluid while tranny is to cool you will over fill and damage the transmission. If you fill with fluid when the tranny is to hot you will underfill and run a slight risk of damaging the transmission. The fill plug and drain plug are next to each other so make sure you are removing the right one. <<<< The above I found on a vw site, The tranny should take about 5 qts for a filter change, or 12 qts for a total rebuild. And the fill plugs on th eside of the tranny, one should be up, that is the filler, and lower one is the level, when it seeps out the lower one, it is full. Hope this helps.

Where is the transmission dipstiick on 99 passat

There is no dipstick on your passat. To check the level of tranny fluid, first drive around the block to get the fluid up to 99 degrees F, to expand the fluid. You can use an infrared thermometer if you want to be precise. Then raise the car on level ground.
About half way up the tranny is a check window, sealed by a plug. Pump VW tranny fluid into the check/fill window to top of window, then replace plug.
Check the pan gasket for any leaks while you are there. If there are, the order a KIT that comes with a gasket and filter. Drain the fluid out the bottom drain hole. You may be able to reuse this fluid if in good condition. The tranny holds a lot more fluid than will come out. You may get 3-5qts when it holds around 9qts. You will need a pump to get the fluid in. A small one for $30 will work just take a little longer. A big one can run a few hundred $$.
VW fluid only. Shop on-line for a better deal than the dealer, because it ain't cheap.
Good Luck!

Possible transmission out not sure

When was the last time you had transmission oil changed and the tranny pan removed and the tranny filter changed? If never, this is your starting point.

The problem with these vans is that the tranny pan is at about a 20 degree angle under the transmission near the driver front tire. The problem with this design is that these pans eventually begin to leak at the lowest point of the pan, and over time you will not notice the ATF loss. Most likely your ATF level or cleanliness/viscosity may be bad.
Don't cry 'TRANSMISSION' until you get your tranny serviced (ATf oilc change, new tranny filter, clean magnets, clean pan, clean tranny).

Change tranny fluid,now reverse gear not grabing,on flat ground i get some movement,but revs. up,like slipage,...more fld. or less perhaps? any suggestion.95 golf o1m trans.2L.

The 01M needs to be hooked up to a scan tool (VAG 1552) then you'll also need VAG 1924 ATF filler kit or similar.
Procedure:
1) Address word 02- Transmission Electronics
2) Advance to read measuring value blocks -08
3) Select display group -05
4) Observe display field 1 for transmission temperature (must be below 30*C at start)
5) Lift vehicle
6) Place container under trans
7) Bring ATF to test temp (ATF Test temp 35 to 45*C (95 to 113*F)
8) Remove level plug from trans oil pan
9) If ATF drips out of hole when temp is bet 35* - 45*C ATF level is correct and no further action is required. Install new seal and level plug and torque. This completes the ATF check

note: If the ATF drips out the hole by the time the temp reaches 45*C, fill through the filler tube until fluid comes out of the level checking hole.
