How often should the transmission fluid in a Volkswagen Polo be changed?

[DiSara]

Volkswagen Polo transmission fluid should be changed approximately every 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Here are some relevant details:1. Points to note when changing automatic transmission fluid: Special equipment for automatic transmissions must be used to completely remove the old ATF fluid and other impurities. However, automatic transmission fluid cannot be entirely drained by atmospheric pressure alone, as this method only removes about half of the used fluid. The remaining fluid, along with sludge and impurities, can accumulate in the valve body, torque converter, and cooling lines, leading to blockages in the system's internal fluid passages.2. Automatic transmission failure: Over 99% of automatic transmission failures are caused by overheating and the accumulation of impurities due to prolonged non-replacement of ATF fluid. Therefore, regular replacement of ATF fluid is crucial for the maintenance of an automatic transmission.
