where can i find my transmission dip stick,so i can check my fluid

Here is a fantastic website which will answer nearly every question you might have about 2000+ VW/German transmissions: http://www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance/atfchange/

I just had my tranny fluid flushed, so I know a bit about this. The tranny in the Passat is a sealed unit which means that you can't check the fluid level without having to lift the car, breaking the seal between the tranny pan and body and then check. I don't reccomend this. Also how many miles does the car have? If it isn't leaking and it has fairly low miles, under 55k for example your fine. Mine has 82k and the fluid was really low and really dirty. Hope this helps

Vickie did you ever find that dip stick, I still looking for mine!!!

does anyone know if the oil dipstick goes to the bottom of the oil tank when it measures the oil on vw passat 2007 2.0t. the vw mechanics say it doesnt. anyone?

Where can I find my vw transmission stick

there is no dip stick unfortunately but there is a place under ur car that you can check the fluid and again unfortunately this job need to be done by mechanic or you need to lift the car and have some tools which you can easily find on YouTube

hi i need the swtich for transmission for Passat 2012

where is the dip stick and how do i put fluid in the transmission.

what kind of transmission fluid can i use?

and also how would i know when it's full.

it's a 2005 vw passat sedan 1.8

Run away from German cars buy a Ford,Dodge,Chevy instead as soon as possible, or at least Toyota, Subaru,Nissan,Honda

I think there is no dip in stick for every car to check transmission fluids.

The guy that designed this transmission is the dipstick.

Agreed. I mean seriously who does that? What an asshole

@Jack, hey Jack the german cars which I have owned were all very good cars (VW,AUDI,Mercedes). Why should someone "run away" from them in your opinion?

Many of today's high performance engines ( all Models) do not have visible dipsticks. Like GuruDBM48 said the German engines are probably the finest and best engineered in the world! Every 100K take in your car to get checked.

I just traded off a 2005 Chevy Equinox that had a sealed transmission and my sister has a Cavalier that's sealed. Last time I checked, Chevy isn't a German vehicle.

Hello, i have Passat 1,8 t 170HP gls 2003 automatic transmission i just buy it 3 month a go, when i try to speed up or there is some car in my way car go well but there is a bad kick comes from some where in the car it feel like car going to be 2 pic and after i speed up everything is fine anybody have this problem or can help me out please ?

Yes @omarllh im having the same problem

My 2008 Pass at does it as well. I was told it's the turbo kicking in.

I have a 2007 Betts that shifts hard. It jerks and sometime doesn't want to shift. Sometime swueels my tires. During my research I have found it's a valve in the sealed transmisson and happens in a lot if not all of them so my question is how is VW not taking responsibility for a crappy part and recalling it. That seems unethical and bad business.

Germán cars are the biggest pieces of shit in the world, not only I work on cars but I also sell used cars. Lots of cheap plastic parts around the engine, weird metal alloys to make you buy some kind of special engine oils. And the transmissions, well there are about 4 to 5k dollars and o lt last about 80k mikes..go Toyota Camry and save a lot of money and headachea.

There is no dipstick on a 2002 passat. You must take to a dealer where they will rip you off for $350 for fluid change. Just had my paasat done . This is by far the worst and most expensive car i have ever owned. I will never buy a vw again

How do i check my transmission f

I have a 2004 Passat and the transmission is running in low gear. What can be the matter? Does anyone know. Troubled

TCM ,,,under the pass carpet,,needs changed,,,has to be exact replacement
