It is my understanding that you have to take it to vw dealer or a vw mechanic and have them check or change tranny fluids. not positive bout it but that is what i was told. daughter just got a jetta turbo and that is what we were told by a friend of hers that has one.

    I can confirm there is no dipstick for the auto trans on any VW. It's meant to be a sealed transmission with the fluid lasting the lifetime of the transmission. If its not leaking then it shouldn't be a concern.

I need to know where i am supposed to check my transmission fluid on my 1994 vw jetta. i have looked everywhere and can't find the stick
It it is an auto, you check it through the bottom. There is a bolt in the middle of the drain plug iirc.. When you pull the bolt out the fluid should just drip a tad, kinda like checking a manual. The only thing is I cant remember if the car has to be running or not or if this.

Where do i check the transmission fluid 2001 jetta
the auto transmission is a maintnance free trans and does not have a dip stick at all. it has a check plug and has to be on a lift at proper running temp and completly level. the auto also uses very special fluid from vw and using another atf will damage this transmission.

TRANSMISSION OIL LEAK
Hi, if there is no dip stick, the transmission may be sealed. in this case, your issue will be a main seal or faulty transmission pane seal(gasket). if possible, raise your vehicle so that you can get a good look at the pan and main seal area..

Just bought used Jetta leaking trans fluid - can't be fixed w/o major labor?
i dont know where you live
there are many independent repair shops out there that would do the job for alot less
here is one trick i have found that work very good.
go to a professional auto parts store like a carquest or a NAPA and ask the counter person who he would recomend a independent repair shop that is familar with the VW cars
dont give up you will find a great mechanic that will help.
good luck
