Whats the average cost of having having transmission fluid and filter replaced in 99 Passat. Thanks in advance.

Why would you pay someone to replace an air filter?

There haven't been tune-ups in 25 years,only spark plugs
left from those days

You ask because you have never had that service your asking
about, done before on any vehicle?

CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL.IF TRANSMISSION HAS A LOT OF MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER HAS NOT BEEN CHANGE DO SO.IF FLUID AND FILTER BEEN CHANGED YOU COULD HAVE BAD 2-3 SHIFT SOLENOID. I WOULD HAVE TRANSMISSION SHOP CODE SCAN TRANSMISSION BEFORE BUYING NEW PARTS..

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. First, make sure that your transmission has the correct amount of fluid in it. Make sure that you are not leaking any fluid under the car. You may need to have the fluid flushed and get a new filter. If these all check out, you may have transmission damage. In order to know for sure, it will need checked by yourself or a mechanic. Thanks for using FixYa. If you have anymore questions, please let me know. Thanks for using FixYa and have a good evening.

The transmission filter is inside the transmission pan that holds the fluid. The transmission fluid and filter should be changed every 30,000 miles. You have to drop the tranny pan to drain the old fluid and then you can change the filter. Always use the proper transmission fluid for your car.
I could sit here and tell you the step by step procedure but that will take hours. The very best thing you can do is buy a Haynes repair manual for your car and year at any auto parts store @ Advanced, Autozone. Read the step by step in the manual. I have used these for 40 years with all my vehicles and saved tons of cash in labor costs.

Good luck and thanks for your question and I hope my suggestions help. Don't forget to rate me.

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!

It may already be to late but have it looked at before you destroy this transmission.

This problem will not fix it self and will only get more costly with time.

Valve body bolts need to be re torqued and or replace valve body gasket.

Hope this tip helps.

The ABS Modiule is bad you can replace yourself very easily go to modulemaster.com and enter your vehicle information and they will show you how with photos and vido and they will repair module for about $160 plus shipping. THisi sa manufactrers defect. Modulemaster will rebuild and fix the problem and a five year warranty. A new one will cost $1500 and still has the defect but only a one year warranty form dealer/manufacturer.

hi there i prosume its an auto if so there are 3 plugs at the rear of the box by the bell housing in a row going up you have to access them from underneath and dont forget its a special fluid,

regards JR

2.7 synthetic Mobil1 ATF oil, you need an oil pump to pump the fluid from the bottom of the transmission.

ROTORS WILL RUN ABOUT $60-80 PER ROTOR. PREMIUM PADS RUN ABOUT $40-70 PER PAD. PLUS ABOUT 3-4 HOURS OR SHOP TIME AT AN AVERAGE OF $60-70 PER HOUR

I DO SUGGEST CALLING 3-4 OTHER SHOPS NEAR YOUR AREA AND GET AN ESTIMATE FROM THEM AS WELL.
