Never done this and I was amazed at how detailed and clear your instructions were! Thank you for taking the time to teach us this procedure!
very poor example as it even checked the temp of the metal pan, not the actual sensor value lol
Thanks I took my car to the shop to get the fluid and filter changed and had no idea it was this much work involved
This video is a lifesaver I have been racking my brain over this project and having this as a guide will help me.
I know im asking the wrong place but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Amari Brett Instablaster :)
@Julian Mitchell i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Julian Mitchell It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account!
@Amari Brett No problem =)
Tools needed:
Breaker bar.
5mm Allen socket.
17mm Allen socket.
T27 socket.
T40 socket.
T50 socket.
Impact driver.
Oil pan.
This is great!!! My 2005 Passat needs this! This was very detailed!
Thinking about buying an 05 with the tdi for my girlfriend as a commuter car, great information.
Fantástica explicación. Saludos desde Spain! 🇪🇸
Great video! About to try it:
Two questions:
What ATF fluid do I use?
And did you use a simple pump to refill with?
keepitsimplerstupid i paid $12 dólares
For the pump
And I use regulas ATF fluad
@@Efesios--lz7xnwhere you buy the pump/tube from ?
WONDERFUL VIDEO.THANK YOU!
Good job NICE RATCHET! - I would recommend to everyone that you leave the fill plug open while the engine is on. Fluid will return back out the fill when it’s shut off, so you should screw the fill plug on when the engine is at temp and the gears gone through. Also- I recommend removing the fill plug first. If you can’t get this off, then having a pan without fluid is a different kind of problem. When you remove he fill plug first, you will have fluid drain out - this is the fluid that would otherwise be in the system if the car were running mentioned in my first comment above.
Please educate me as to why the fill plug would not be removable. TYIA

Dude you are freaking awesome. Well explained.
What is the name of the tube you us to pump in the transmission?
Thanks helps alot about how much fluid is full Than do I keep it running during final fill ??
You did a great job. But the bummer is the T-27 Torx pan screws. Strip one and it's a bad day. Heat did not work, and as a do it your selfer having a lift is not happening. One cannot hit an impact with a hammer swing under on the back. Maybe point this out.
Great vid, well done. But will this work on a 2003 audi a6 quattro 2.7t b5 transmission as well ???? thank you
Good stuff man thanks for this useful video. Very well explained, cheers!
very good job, simple and clean ;)
If you dont have a thermometer how long would it take my car to warm up to 100°
Good video thanks my question is after you get to 40 Celsius do you leave your car running or shut it off and then check fluid or do you leave car running and check the fluid while it's running thank you
leave it running

My Passat keeps going into limp mode, checked the tcm and no water at all. Any suggestions?
Okay guys I have a car it runs but it does not move what could that be maybe transmission fluid or gear shifter
What is the symptoms of low transmission fluid ?
clunking through changes, lack of drive...

My car stall when I hard break
was it your transmission fluid?
Great video 👍🏼
thanks from colombia
I can appreciate your video , however, you have done this procedure somewhat incorrectly !! First of all !! Everyone who may do this needs to make sure they specifically make sure that both of the drain and fill plugs are loosened first , this is most important because if they fill plug can not be loosened then you have created a massive issue to where you will not be able to fill the fluid back up inside the trans pan !! Always and I mean ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOUR FILL PLUG LOOSENS FIRST!! Not the drain plug , drain plug don’t matter if the fill plug can’t be removed to fill it up !
i totally agree with u
Please educate me as to why the fill plug would not be removable. TYIA
Good advice! Thank you! This should be pinned! Seems obvious, but a lot of us fail to think ahead like that
At the end of the video does he leave it running when he goes to add more.
i have a 96kw. 1.9 tdi. no. 4 motion
2005
my car go to limp mode
should i change the oil transmission
is it required to use any gasket sealant or silicon before mounting the pan?
It's a gasket and is usually included when you purchase the replacement filter.
I used silicon..but let it dry first before putting the pan back
My friend used permatex gasket sealer between the pan and the gasket, even when I specifically told him not to, and it’s causing it to slowly leak out due to the fact that now it’s not sealed properly with a completely smooth and even surface.. 😳 now I must re-do it entirely....
why didnt you just undo the drain and open the filler use pressure fill??
If I use ramps the get my front end in the air will that matter or should it be parallel to the ground
Preferably parallel - jack up the back and use axle stands

The last procedure of the additional filling required or not was not shown.
I agree the last part wasnt show. Are you spose to leave it running when you add more.
I have passat 18T automatic transmission model 2003 how and from where can I add some Atf G o52162 A2
Thanks
Got an 05 BHW Passat I need to do this
You're very descriptive etc etc but all your videos have codes names numbers digits all this stuff of what types of transmissions. The general person does not know all that information. You should state year make models that your service applies to
I have a 2014 TDI SEL Passat. It has foughly 45k on it. I'm about to change the transmission fluid and do the engine and cabin air filters. The dealership wanted to charge my old lady $650 for that! No Sir!
SCJMO That's a total rip off!
Gotta protect our woman from predatory mechanics!
Please I am using the Golf 4 automatic but I just change my gearbox oil and my gear is not changing I don't know what to do
Hi did you fix it im having same problem
Do you know approximately how many quarts of fluid you'll need to put back in?
Hi Kyle Grunert this was my car and we ended up adding around 4.5 qts basically fill it until it drips out screw the plug in. Run it through the gears check fluid level and add until dropping out again once up to temp.
Ben Belty awesome thank you!
The 1.8T uses 9 qts, a great deal of persons miss out on this and end up using too little ATF.
9
TIMOTHY MBURU I put 6 quarts in mine and am getting P0730... Most say low fluid, is it really 9? I left it in reverse when I filled it cause I read it holds the most fluid (extra qt)

I need help with engine rattling or knocking
How many liters do you need the car
9 quarts for 1.8t. Fill it in reverse gear for most room.
Good :)
nice
In your video you didn't even show the car or state the car that you were working on you just described the transmission no video of the car itself other than underneath
is it tiptronic version 09A?
is this the same as a 2.0 tdi
i have noticed man people dont wear gloves while working on their vehicles.. Is that a thing? Do they get a better feel for things that way?
Cause I always wear gloves even for minor repairs. And never felt it restrict anything.
It's an American thing, I'm not sure why. I'm from America, but I dont agree with the dirty mechanic mentality that seems to garner respect, I'd rather wear some disposable latex gloves then get transmission fluid on my hands and needlessly dirty up a rag to wipe my hand.
@@InFalini Latex are best for dexterity, but Nitrile is best for chemicals. I cringed when he was using Brake Clean without gloves. I hate that stuff.
How to check the fluids
JAGS EnDeavors I’m not sure if these have dipsticks to check the fluid. I can’t find mine on my car
they dont have a dipstick.
its a big torque bit in the pan. stick your finger in the hole and feel around. if you dont feel any ATF, you need to add some
how often should i change the filter?
Jose Gonzalez every 100k with new fluid every 30-40.
100,000km
I need your help
Also another wrong method , when running through the gears after changing any transmission fluid you should always leave it in each gear for 10 seconds at least or even more !! This is bad practice to just go through gears so fast !! Leave it in reverse for 10 seconds , drive 10 seconds and so forth , you are not allowing the fluid to circulate enough
@THAILEI REBEL he just described it.
its not proper way to do for this transmission
I'm having transmission trouble atm. 02 passat, I had symptoms of what felt like low trans fluid, 3rd gear always shifted quickly. Today my wife took the car to work ok, went to leave and 1st gear is feels like the ebrake is on.If anyone knows what's going on, please reply I'm dying over here lol
joe did you fix that? 2002 vw passat automatic. It jerks on me. while at a stop sometimes when driving
@@newagepreipo2870 no. I had to back off from it because of moving and my incoming 1st child lol. The car is flawless in terms of driving other than this.
My experience: The car was having the radiator replaced n I bought it after it was fixed.
Bought the car in Philadelphia (1.5hr drive) and was able to drive it home twice from Philadelphia, loved the car.
Drove it for about 3 weeks. Noticed the quick 3rd gear shift but it still drove fine. When the issue occurred I was told by someone it could be a blocked screen or filter after the radiator was take out. Maybe low fluid? Maybe the 3rd gear issue put me into limp mode (excessive clutch slippage code). Or maybe the trans fluid is low. Otherwise idk
If I can get someone to fix it I'm willing to pay, but it seems everyone is going straight to replace the trans $2,000-$4,000.
@@newagepreipo2870 my Passat did the same thing. And a week or 2 later it went limp. It's crazy how your experience is similar. I'm going to try getting mine worked on this month (June) will post if I find the culprit

How ridiculous. Welp thank you for the vid anyhow
How to check oil level
With the oil stick
Do you have an email adress so i can send a picture to you?
bro brake clean isnt good for ur hands
Where is the dipstick
JAGS EnDeavors there is no dipstick on these cars for the trans fluid.
There is no dipstick - you are supposed to dispose of the car and buy a new one instead!!!
@@robertvanruyssevelt7159 I prefer to imagine they just wanted a good seal for the transmission fluid.
The problem with this procedure is that you have only changed the amount of fluid in the pan, which may be as little as 20 - 25% of the total. The torque converter etc will still contain old dirty fluid. The reason for this (and why there is no dip stick for the auto) is that the manufacturer wants you to dispose of the car once it has done over 100,000km or so and buy a new one. There is a way to change all of the oil and it is disappointing that most "professionals" including this one do not employ it.
There is roughly 6 liters in the pan/filter and 2-3 in the converter. If you want to make sure to get most of the fluid out, you can do this pan drop procedure, and replace approximately 65% of the fluid and a few weeks later change the oil one more time WITHOUT dropping the pan... This way you will have almost 90% new fluid overall. My math may be wrong though :)
@THAILEI REBEL I agree, however I've noticed that the best mechanics dont like to film.
If you want it done properly, take it to a dealer or trans shop and have the fluid flushed. That way, all the old fluid, even in the converter, is removed. On higher mileage vehicles, a trans flush is highly discouraged. However, a pan drop, or drain and fill is acceptable on vehicles without shifting issues. As far as VW, wanting buyers to get a new car every 100k, that may be true from a sales perspective, but considering the millions of VW's on the road with over 200k, that's not likely.
