VW Life time transmission

Yes its been done! There is a "how to" guide in the technical how to section in the forums. I am currently trying to get it done. My car is reaching 60,000 miles and i am in the right time to change the TRans fluid. It takes some work but can definetilly be done. You need 3 liters of Pentosin OEM Automatic Transmission Fluid part#G 052 162 A2 for a fluid change or 5 liters for a total flush and change. You will also need a filter kit and gasket seal. Go to ECS tuning for parts at a really good price.

Seriously VW Scr%$@! VW owners with the transmission deal. Here is the thing: VW refuses to deal with the transmission and claims it is "LIfe Time" which is all false. They want us to break our Trany around the 100,000 mark which is a cars life time and then buy a new one for $3,000 + labour totaling about 4-5 grand. The trany needs attention just like any other car and many VW owners dont realize it untill it is too late....

Hope i helped some, any questions let me know as i am working on a PFD "how to" change the fluid.
