How often should the transmission fluid be changed in a Volkswagen?
1 Answers
It is recommended to change the transmission fluid for automatic transmission models every 60,000 kilometers, and for manual transmission models every three years or 60,000 kilometers. If the driving environment is harsh, the interval should be shortened accordingly, and it is advisable to have regular inspections at authorized service centers and follow the recommendations of professional technicians for replacement. The consequences of not changing the transmission fluid for an extended period are as follows: 1. The car may experience weak acceleration when starting cold, and slight slipping may occur during driving. 2. The transmission fluid may become thicker, which can block the transmission cooler, leading to excessively high transmission fluid temperatures and increased wear.
