If there's one thing met the International Motor Sports of San Francisco over the years, Volkswagen has problems with automatic. 'Life' the reason for Volkswagen Automatic Transmission Fluid seems too good to be true, because it is. Although modern synthetic fluid protects better and lasts longer than comparable oils, will not last forever. In fact, legally, the term "fluid lifetime" only for the duration of the VW Powertrain Warranty. Soif the warranty has expired, you're out of luck.
Volkswagen, along with many other car manufacturers know that most owners keep their cars past 100,000 miles. The fluid so-called 'life' is simply a touch of marketing used to sell cars that need to be 'low maintenance. "But after the mile 100,000 (when vehicles require real attention), most repairs are guaranteed Volkswagen null and void. 'S Why VW plans after 105.000 miles timing belt replacement on 1.8T engines, and whyMost of the 'life' guarantees are forged.
If you're going to keep your car for a while ', the cost will never be replaced by ATF scare. Left intact to an entire 'life' of this liquid can cause serious damage to the filter and oil pans. Deposits of metal chips is based on the filter and oil pan, and eventually damage the gear. The resulting repairs are expensive. So do yourself a favor. If you maintain your car to 150,000 or 200,000 miles per plane, change yourATF itself on a regular basis.
Although this task may be complicated, it's worth. Visit your local VW-Audi car parts dealers (and ECStuning German auto parts, etc.) and the purchase of a VW-specific oil and filter kit. For both the 01M and MK4-speed automatic transmission, you get the kit Pentosin ATF filter and G-052-162-A2. Do the same goes with gear oil, your car and continue into old age.
By the way, do not bother to ask Volkswagen ServiceWriters on this 'life' loopholes. They insist that such products are of ATF 'closed with life ", but this is only for corporate mandate. If you really want to keep your Volkswagen running smoothly, please follow the Council. Or, if the longest duration and To receive the best performance from your Volkswagen to do it yourself, or contact a Volkswagen repair shop, who are willing to perform this type of preventive maintenance for you.
