I had a Cabriolet last over 400,000 miles without a single fluid flush on the auto tranny... then again I wanted it to die so I could justify the exspense of doing a manual tranny swap.

I have seen too many of VW's slush boxes seize up around 100,000 miles from lack of maintenance to ever do that kind of foolishness again.

I think you are quite correct in your thinking. I would definetly be changing out that fluid.. A.S.A.P.
