With the transmission system active every time that you drive, and with fresh transmission fluid being one of the best ways to promote reliable transmission performance and extend the transmission’s service life, it is an excellent decision to follow Volkswagen’s recommendation for transmission fluid exchange outlined in the owner’s manual.
The Volkswagen Transmission is a primary automotive system with sophisticated engineering and complicated mechanics. Despite the complexity of the transmission, it has a single yet absolutely vital responsibility – it sends the engine’s power into the drive wheels as needed when the driver pushes the fuel pedal. To deliver torque variably into the drive wheels, the transmission relies on a complex arrangement of electronic controls, sensors, gears, pinion, fluid, and seals to keep the fluid contained. At the heart of the transmission system is transmission fluid that serves as both a hydraulic that transfers power and oil that lubricates the moving vehicle parts. The extreme environment within the transmission will eventually cause the fluid to contaminate, leak, or break down, which demands corrective transmission fluid exchange to protect the internal parts, secure reliable performance, and extend the transmission’s life.
When the transmission fluid develops a problem, it will also deliver problematic performance as a lubricating hydraulic. If you notice any of these warning signs in your driving experience, it is time to schedule transmission fluid exchange:
