How Often Should Volkswagen Transmission Fluid Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida's transmission fluid replacement interval is 60,000 kilometers, with a replacement capacity of 6-10 liters. The interval can be adjusted appropriately based on actual driving conditions. The methods for replacing transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Gravity Drainage: The replacement principle is similar to that of engine oil. Using tools to loosen the nut, the transmission fluid will automatically flow out under gravity. Although this method is simple, it cannot completely drain the fluid. Residual transmission fluid may remain in uneven or dead corners. 2. Machine Flushing: New transmission fluid is stored inside the flushing machine, and the machine's pipes are connected to the transmission's fluid channels. Under hydraulic pressure, the new fluid pushes out the old fluid. This method cleans the fluid channels more thoroughly. The more new transmission fluid used, the cleaner the result. A single machine flush typically requires about 10-13 liters of transmission fluid and takes approximately 1 hour. 3. Oil Pan Removal: This method cleans from the root, achieving a more thorough result, and also allows for cleaning the transmission fluid filter. However, the disassembly process is more complicated, and generally, 4S shops are not willing to put in the extra effort for this method.
