ive been trying to do research on this subject for about a year now, ive been unsure if i wanted to do it myself or have a shop do it. i was pre emptively thinking of doing it back then but now my car has slight rough shifts here and there just hit 150,000km, Im sure glad i found your video. This video is a million Times more informative/descriptive Then any other Thanks so much!!!
Superb video. I followed the instructions carefully and transmission is now serviced. *Unexpected problem I encountered. The shop that performed the previous service over torqued the transmission drain plug. The allen socket stripped out during the attempted removal. I removed the entire pan full of fluid with large catch pan at the ready. It was easier than expected with not much mess at all. Fastened empty transmission pan to work bench and removed drain plug with vice grips. Had to order a new drain plug. Everything else was exactly as presented in this excellent video. My thanks to Heath!
Excellent! This is the best video I've ever seen to guide DIY's to Jetta automatic transmission oil change service. Thank you very much for sharing it so clearly and completely and with all the links to the websites.
I used this procedure to change my ATF in my 2008 Rabbit 2.5 with the 09G transmission a few days ago with the exception of using an IR gun instead of the app. All went well and the shifting is much smoother now (it wasn't bad, before but it is is much better now). One extra comment: all of the "professional" videos say to pre-pump 3 quarts, start the engine and pump 3 more quarts in, and finally drain the excess at the correct temperature. Mine definitely did not need all 3 extra quarts. It seemed like it drained forever. The next time, I'll try 2 extra quarts and see how that goes. At least the overflow that drained was much cleaner than the initial old fluid that I drained. All in all, the job was a PITA - in part because of getting it up on 4 stationary jacks - but the results are definitely worth it. I'm very pleased.
Hi Boomer Guy, Question: where did you point the IR gun to get a temp? I am concerned that the pan takes longer to warm up than the fluid. This assumes that the diagnostic tool measures the temp of the oil. Perhaps it doesn't make a difference but I am just curious.
@@aaron1359 I bought the IR gun from Amazon and it was not expensive. I aimed it at the ATF sump pan. It reached the target temperature very quickly in just a few minutes. I can list the steps I took if you would like. There were several steps. Since I bought the vehicle used and wasn't sure how much ATF was in it, I wanted to be sure to start off with a full transmission, plus have a clean ATF filter. The next time I changed the fluid, I put it on 4 level stationary jack stands and let the engine and transmission cool completely. I measured the amount drained which was exactly 2.5 quarts. Now, I just drain and replace 2.5 quarts of fluid while the vehicle is cold and level on stationary jack stands at 30K mile intervals. This is the amount that always drains. While this does not replace the entire amount of fluid in the transmission, it is enough to keep it relatively clean and new. My transmission shifts much better now than it did when I bought the car which has over 165K miles on it. Also, I've found from many different sources that say as long as you don't abuse the transmission and use premium full synthetic ATF which meets the VW spec for your transmission at 30K mile intervals, you should never have to replace the filter again.

Excellent video. Clean with great information. My only add to your video is NOT to put any type of additive with the ATF as these additives may impede the smoothe operation of the various solenoid valves in the valve body. Just simply use the ATF that is recommended for your vehicle. Again like others have said, much easier to use the fill hole either on the side/front depending on your transmission.
The best video on TH-cam , I have a 2009 vw jetta & my transmission didn’t want to shift also it jerked whenever I would put it into reversed. I’m guessing my transmission didn’t have any fluid.
You need a 10mm for the reservoir pan and filter then a L key to open the drain plug then you can use a $6-$10 pump kit or you can use any shampoo dispenser and connect it to a hose to pump it in
Hey! Thanks for the video!, first off, I just did this whole process, didn’t change the filter because my local vw dealer gave me a paper filter that I assume was wrong. At any rate, I warmed up my fluid and NEVER GOT IT TO STOP POURING OUT -
Did you install the snorkel plug? It would have stopped eventually. I was surprised at how much came out of mine also, but it did stop and transmission worked great afterwards. Is the car driving and shifting?
@@heathputnam9524 I panicked, lol. I ended up selling it to a buddy of mine. He drove it to a shop and they said he needed a new transmission. I’m not sure how honest they are being with him. I absolutely do not think it needed a tranny. But, you say that it would’ve stopped? It just kept pouring out and it started to overflow the measuring container and all I could think was the money that stuff costs and I closed it up. :)
@@heathputnam9524 that is bond to be what was wrong. Because I measured it all and was very careful. I told him to let me check it out as a second opinion but he just wanted to spend the money I guess. Oh well. I’ve got a 16 Jetta now. It’s got something going on with the idle control valve or something dealing with the air fuel
Thank you for instruction I dont have odb2 device to connect car. Can you tell me approximately how long it takes to atf reaches 35c-45c idle running engine? Thank you.
Good step by step video. The key parts as you mentioned is the actual refill process and car leveling. A good add on would’ve been what if one doesnt have the tranny temp monitoring capability (95-113f)? What if one had to fly by the seat of their pants and guesstimate without knowing temps?
Great video! I especially like the fact that you take time to answer questions and reply to the comments. Many who post videos do not. It’s rare and greatly appreciated Sir!
I just removed the drain plug on a cold engine with ambient temperature of 55 degrees. A full quart of dirty ATF drained. The “snorkel” is still in place. Surprised that this large a volume drained at 40 degrees below the temperature used to check a proper level. The car is spot on level. Thoughts?
When the transmission is running a lot of fluid and a in the passages if there is sludge in the bottom of the pan it will also raise the fluid level some. Also, is the pan dented?
Hello, I seem to be struggling to find the fitting at 6:10 , is there any way you could send some more details on which one you used and where you bought it? I went to my local northern tool and tried out the same size you recommended and the thread part was too big.
Great video.... but just a note here... you can fill-up from the drain plug, but you don't have to there is another location that you can fill it up at . You will need a star tool wrench. I am just nervous that the hose will pop off the bottom of it when filling.
Hi there I’m doing this now, I have a 2012 Passat 2.5 se, I changed the transmission filter and gasket, and kept 5quarts oil and started engine and when it reached the temperature required I opened the hose of pipe but I lost too much oil I was using a temp gun, please help me, I just measured the jack stand height, front it’s 1/2 inch less
My question is you put in a device that fluid would come out when full. That didn't happen and was never mentioned again. Why did you put your finger on draining fluid while waiting for the bubbles to start. Very good video...... Just want to do this right. Thanks
Once I installed the snorkel tube into the pan, it is not used until you pump in the fluid. You pump in more than you need and then with the transmission up to temperature you allow the extra fluid to drain until it reaches the same level as the snorkel tube then the fluid bubbles and you know it has reached the right level. I put my finger on the fluid because I was bored… it is really not necessary unless you get bored also! Haha! Good luck and thanks for watching!
My 2012 Jetta S has the 09G transmission yet has a fill-hole. It’s right above the pan on the front side as if facing the radiator. You need a T-55 torx/star socket there. I can’t make out if your car there has it but it might.
This transmission is finicky about the amount of fluid in it. Assuming the transmission was correctly filled originally and no fluid was boiled off or leaked out at all, you may get away with that. VW suggests this method in their manual, so that’s what I showed. Obviously if you would like to try a different way, it is your prerogative. Thanks for watching!
10:5510:55 The real question is "when is it too late to change the fluid on a Jetta?" I read your daughters went into limp mode. Did it float between gears down shifting?
No it did not, it was harsh shifting up and down. If you do a full fluid change and have the issue you are describing, I would go one additional step. I would remove the solenoid plate once you remove the filter and then remove each solenoid, spring and spool one at a time and clean them with solvent. Then lube the spool with transmission fluid and reinstall it. Do that for each solenoid. Then use 12 volts to actuate each solenoid to see if they move freely. If they do not you either have a bad solenoid or your solenoid plate has worn. If it is the solenoid, buy a new one. If it is the solenoid plate we’ll, try to buy a new or rebuilt one. If they all move freely, reinstall the solenoid plate and continue following my video. Hope this helps. We sold the car but I may have a used solenoid plate kicking around, if I do maybe a video is in the future. Thanks for the comment!
Thank you.....Ive done a lot of work on VWs but never trans work and it's a scary deal. Best place to buy the kit? Amazon has kit w solenoids for $138. I say thats a good deal
You may not need the solenoids but it wouldn’t hurt. Take a picture of the wiring before you unplug anything! It’ll help get everything plugged back in correctly! Good luck!
I have a 2014 model 2.5 mk6 which is an auto and after some time in traffic it shakes the cabin when increasing its rpm slowly from 2to3 gear , and after sometime it shows the 🔧 at the section where writes PRND After i turn the car off and on again it removes the 🔧 I have checked it for tranmission issues with computer and it doesnt show any error on the tranmission It shows only this P0106 (manifold pressure bar )and P2096 (poor catalist fuel trim) Do you think this two are related to the transmission? And in your opinion what should i do?
what is there was no trans filter...i bought one from salvage yard. Not sure if they took it out. Is there a way to find out what filter your supposed to use
@@heathputnam9524 it is shifting much smoother now. I did drive across the city with lots of stop and go traffic then rushed on the highway when it was 30°C which caused the transmission lights to light up and the shifting became clunky. It only happened the one time though and I was pushing the motor pretty good. I have done a 300km trip and lots of city driving with no issues otherwise. I think I need to do another fluid change. Before the fluid change the transmission lights would turn on when it got to temperature almost everytime I drove.
There isn’t an easy way to check the level. The end of the video shows how to fill the transmission up and let it auto level. As far as I know that is the only method to ensure the right amount of fluid is in it. Thanks for the comment!
No, the vehicle needs to be running and warmed up so it will have the right amount of oil in the transmission. Please follow the instructions or you will ruin your transmission! Thanks for watching!
I dont know how I can thank you for this diy vid.. my hard shfit (1-2) has stopped completly after several weeks of driving .. all I have to do now is change my every 30000 km .. NB for all wait patienly for it fluid to bubble out when leveling it can be tempting to close while the stream is getting small .
I've seen elsewhere where someone checked, and the IR temperature read ~10 or 12 degrees lower. If you use the IR gun, I suggest targeting the bottom end of the specified range (95F).
Thank you very much for a great video. Very concise on all the steps I need to be done. Notice to use a aftermarket automatic transmission fluid. Any issues or would you recommend or not recommend using that fluid?
Great video! Have a question. When transmission is 45 °C , what should be the engine temperature? I don't have a sophisticated ODB. Mine only reads the engine.
There will not be a correlation between the engine and the transmission temp. You could get a cheap IR temp gun from Harbor Freight and aim it at the pan. Thanks for watching!
How do I know the right filter? When I look it up it shows 2 different ones.. one has flat inlet and the second one with upper inlet..2012 jetta 2.5l with 09G transmission please help thank you
You need a replacement pan and new filter. There is not much fluid in the pan and with it bent up and the damaged filter you are starving your transmission of fluid.
Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. I did it this weekend, but have a question. How much fluid did you drain out when you were doing the level check? I put 5.5qts in (what I drained), but when I went to check the level a lot of it drained out. So much that it was still draining when the temperature went above 114F. I put the plug back in and let it cool. Once back in the range I turned the car back on and let it drain until it started trickling out and then closed everything up. I measured I had drained another 3.5qts... I so total I only added 2qts, which makes me nervous to drive it.
It sounds to me like you may have a situation like I found when changing mine last week. 5.5qts came out....seems someone had massively overfilled the box. I was surprised by the amount so pumped back in 5qts, ran the car up to temp and watched a lot of it drain out (which as you say, was somewhat disconcerting). Nonetheless, I trusted the actual process and level as to what it should be - and now the box, which was harsh shifting previously, is now beautifully smooth and as it should be. I also note with live logging on my OBDEleven that the coolant temp has now dropped a good 20 degrees versus how it was (another clear sign it was grossly overfilled) I have a feeling that some jiffy lube type places or ill informed DIYers seem to be throwing 5 quarts in and calling it good for some reason. Who knows how long the car had been like that - I just bought it for my daughter and as always when buying high miler cars, have been doing a ton of DIY service work as you never know what craziness has occurred during prior ownership.
Yes please follow the video instructions and you should be fine! But watch the video carefully and remember to leave the snorkel fitting in place! That sets the level! Thanks for commenting and watching!
@@heathputnam9524 Yeah. I'm going to do it again just to make sure. I replaced the snorkel when I did it, so I'm sure it's in there. I might drop the pan again to make sure nothing weird is going on. Thanks again for the vid!
It appears to be the same transmission. It will be the same steps, just purchase the gasket and filter for your exact model and year transmission. Thanks for the comment!
Ordered the 1/4 npt as described, but your link was to a 1/8 npt.. I got both and it’s 1/8, not 1/4.. the hose barb size is 1/4 or 3/8 depending on what hose you’re using to refill..
trying to keep my sons 08 rabbit running. error code P0734, i am not a mechanic but this seems fairly straight forward. Would it be worth it to give this a go to solve the issue? or should i pay to have it done?
Many people have followed this video and had good results! You will save some money and learn some about the Rabbit! Good luck and thanks for watching!
I drained the trans gearbox and dropped the fluid pan to change the filter. How do i get trans fluid into the gearbox? is it the same way you are doing to fill the trans pan? Thank you kindly
Other websites say to have the fluid temperature at target level between 95 - 113 F before draining? Is this really necessary or does it just need to be hot, immediately after the engine reaches operating temperature?
The transmission needs to be between those temperatures to set the correct fluid level. The oil expands a lot when it is warming up. If you do not have the correct amount of fluid you will cause slippage and/or damage to your transmission. Thanks for the comment!
@@heathputnam9524 This didn't answer my question. I know the fluid temperature has to be correct when checking the fluid level. What I am asking is, if the temperature of the fluid has to be hot while draining. Can it be drained cold?
That's what I was hoping you would say. I figured that as long as it was warm and easy to flow, that was all that was necessary for draining. Filling, on the other hand does require the extra steps of going through the gears, monitoring temperature and draining the overflow from the standpipe aka "snorkel" tube. @@heathputnam9524
Fluid level control insert - 09G-321-363-D (drain plug standpipe tube). It is plastic and seems overpriced, but it is definitely necessary. Be careful with it and also do NOT thread it all the way into the sump pan because you will lose it until you either remove the sump pan or leave it in there while buying another one.
You could also fill up the fluid in the pan and then carefully bolt it back on to avoid having to fill it up with a pump I’ve also done this. It’s hard but it’s easier than using a pump and cheaper than buying a kit and hoses
Is your transmission a 6 speed automatic? It should be the same! Just make sure the filter and gasket kit is for your exact year and model! Thanks again for watching!
I used about a gallon but some came out during the leveling process. But every transmission will have a little more or a little less held in the passageways. Thanks for watching!
Hi, thanks for video. I have used this Valvoline fluid to my 09G and later noticed it does not have VW origin specification for 09G. Is it big issue? Does it work well in your trasnsmission? Thanks buddy
There is no "universal" fluid. You should definitely use any premium brand ATF which has "VW G 055 025 Spec" on the label. I do not think Valvoline MaxLife has this on it. There are several out there and I personally prefer AMSOIL OE Mulit-Vehicle which also meets the specs for my older model Honda cars. Here is some more info: Some of the fluids meeting the VW G 055 025 spec are: Aisin T-IV (Part No. ATF-0T4) - Same as Toyota T-IV (not full synthetic) Toyota T-IV - Same as Aisin T-IV (not full synthetic) Mobil 3309 LM 1200 Ravenol T-IV Amsoil OE Synthetic ATF - Multi-Vehicle (full synthetic)
My GF has an 08' Rabbit with the 09G with 214k miles. I've been researching things a bit and I'd like to swap out the transmission fluid. Every so often, always when it's hot out, the trans will do a hard downshift from (what seems like) 3 to 2. If you drive around in S for a day or two (or roughly 30-50 miles), it goes back to feeling great. I don't think the transmission fluid has ever been swapped out. So a couple questions... Would it be ill advised to do this service at this point? There's a lot of conflicting information online and I can't find anything specific to the 09G. What year is the Jetta in this video? Some comments are saying a fill port was added at some point. Looking on VWVortex, there's a guy with an '06 Jetta that has one, but it's not in a great spot so I wouldn't fault you for missing it. Seems like a lot of people opt to fill it your way instead because of it's positioning and since the 2.5l takes up so much space in these little cars.
Sooo… the Jetta in the video is my daughters ‘06. It had very rough shifts and would go into some sort of tranny limp mode frequently. Especially when it was hot out… she lives outside of Phoenix so that was most of the time!😂 I changed her fluid out and the problem went away. A lot of people say you should never change old fluid this is because as a tranny wears the fluid gets dirty from wearing components and they think is helps the clutches grab better. I’ve changed fluid in a few different makes and never had any issues… that being said I’m not an expert!😂 But you are not flushing the fluid so there will be quite a bit of the dirty fluid to mix in. The method I show is not difficult, but if your tranny has the fill port you could certainly do it that way but remember you still need to heat up the tranny and drain the excess fluid the same way the video shows. Thanks for watching!
@@heathputnam9524 Thanks for the quick and detailed response! My brother has an '04 Jetta with the 01M trans. Same process, but with (I think) different temperature parameters. I just did the fluid in that one so I'm fairly familiar with it.
very well done. As much as I like my son's old jetta, maintenance is ridiculous. What's wrong with a fill hole at the right level so when fluid starts to come out, you've reached the top. Shift it around a few times and see if you need to add more. Why VW, why.
I got 2 quarts out of mine...I think this was the problem! It did not shift right after it warmed up as it would lower the fluid level and suck air instead of fluid. It must have a leak somewhere that took 100k miles to finally cause a problem.
You can warm your car, but I did not and do not really recommend it. I like to leave a little old fluid to mix with the new fluid, but that is just me. Thanks for watching!
Great video, the OBD2 device that you are used is the OBDeleven ? Which app license option do you have if the temperature can be displayed? the basic or pro?
@@heathputnam9524 thank you, If you don't put enough oil in the automatic transmission, is it possible that the cluster gear shift position letters will disappear? I mean the letter P, R, N, D, S. In my case there is only the letter P when I start the car, but they disappear if I switch to Reverse or Drive position
@@RicardoRodriguez-cg9ds having the right amount of fluid is critical to the transmission. Having too little fluid during operation can cause serious problems. Usually the letters flashing is like a check engine light for your transmission, but I have not heard of the problem you are having. Sorry I am not of any help.thanks for watching.
@@RicardoRodriguez-cg9ds There is a electrical connector type box under the transmission status lights you described. My "N" light stopped working, so I reinsurted the wires going into the connector.
The filter kit on Amazon appears to be the short filter. Do you have the part number for the long filter? Also i just got the car with 158k miles would you recommend changing the fluid? I have heard of people changing the fluid and the transmission start slipping and go out due to not having the clutch material thats in the fluid for grip any longer lots of mixed opinions on it.
You can use the same method to check the level. At a bare minimum check the level of the fluid and if it is not too burnt (black) you can probably change it. Doing the fluid and filter change this way still leaves some of the old fluid and gunk inside the transmission. Are you having transmission problems with it?
If it were my car I would change the fluid and filter just like the video, but that being said, I have also heard people say it can cause slippage. I have not seen it occur myself, but it could. If you change the fluid and filter, then something goes wrong... I cannot take responsibility. Good luck and thanks again for watching!

I just removed the drain plug on a cold engine with ambient temperature of 55 degrees. A full quart of dirty ATF drained. The “snorkel” is still in place. Surprised that this large a volume drained at 40 degrees below the temperature used to check a proper level. The car is spot on level. Thoughts?
When the transmission is running a lot of fluid and a in the passages if there is sludge in the bottom of the pan it will also raise the fluid level some. Also, is the pan dented?
Hello, I seem to be struggling to find the fitting at 6:10 , is there any way you could send some more details on which one you used and where you bought it? I went to my local northern tool and tried out the same size you recommended and the thread part was too big.
I left an amazon link in the description below. You can use it to find the right one. I bought mine at ACE Hardware. Hope this helps!
Great video.... but just a note here... you can fill-up from the drain plug, but you don't have to there is another location that you can fill it up at . You will need a star tool wrench. I am just nervous that the hose will pop off the bottom of it when filling.
Can you tell me a bit more about the app that provides the temperature reading
2:17 is what your toilet hears after taco bell
Hmmm! That’s where I got the audio clip from! Thanks for watching!
How close would you say the filter Sits from the bottom of the pan?
About 1/4 inch is my guess. Thanks for the comment!
I dented mine pretty good, has to go to shop for service and new pan. Still running normal no obvious issues.
Hi there I’m doing this now, I have a 2012 Passat 2.5 se, I changed the transmission filter and gasket, and kept 5quarts oil and started engine and when it reached the temperature required I opened the hose of pipe but I lost too much oil I was using a temp gun, please help me, I just measured the jack stand height, front it’s 1/2 inch less
My question is you put in a device that fluid would come out when full. That didn't happen and was never mentioned again. Why did you put your finger on draining fluid while waiting for the bubbles to start. Very good video...... Just want to do this right. Thanks
Once I installed the snorkel tube into the pan, it is not used until you pump in the fluid. You pump in more than you need and then with the transmission up to temperature you allow the extra fluid to drain until it reaches the same level as the snorkel tube then the fluid bubbles and you know it has reached the right level. I put my finger on the fluid because I was bored… it is really not necessary unless you get bored also! Haha! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Grea video. I just needed to readd after a hose leak to trans cooler. Thank you!
What size of thread in the connector are you using? Then you introduce the oil to the transmision.
It is a plastic 1/8 NPT. Thanks for watching!
Does one have to start with a warm car ?
My 2012 Jetta S has the 09G transmission yet has a fill-hole. It’s right above the pan on the front side as if facing the radiator. You need a T-55 torx/star socket there. I can’t make out if your car there has it but it might.
They did add the fill hole in later models. Mine does not have it. Unfortunately! Thanks for the comment!
If I replace exactly what I take out, why do I need to run the car and let the hot fluid drain? Serious question, thanks.
This transmission is finicky about the amount of fluid in it. Assuming the transmission was correctly filled originally and no fluid was boiled off or leaked out at all, you may get away with that. VW suggests this method in their manual, so that’s what I showed. Obviously if you would like to try a different way, it is your prerogative. Thanks for watching!
@@heathputnam9524 thank you for the video.
@@kilokyle hey, what has been your luck with this? I'm thinking about doing this
My daughter drove the car north of 25k and then she sold it. Never had any problems, just follow the video. Thanks for watching!
10:55 10:55 The real question is "when is it too late to change the fluid on a Jetta?"
I read your daughters went into limp mode. Did it float between gears down shifting?
No it did not, it was harsh shifting up and down. If you do a full fluid change and have the issue you are describing, I would go one additional step. I would remove the solenoid plate once you remove the filter and then remove each solenoid, spring and spool one at a time and clean them with solvent. Then lube the spool with transmission fluid and reinstall it. Do that for each solenoid. Then use 12 volts to actuate each solenoid to see if they move freely. If they do not you either have a bad solenoid or your solenoid plate has worn. If it is the solenoid, buy a new one. If it is the solenoid plate we’ll, try to buy a new or rebuilt one. If they all move freely, reinstall the solenoid plate and continue following my video. Hope this helps. We sold the car but I may have a used solenoid plate kicking around, if I do maybe a video is in the future. Thanks for the comment!
Thank you.....Ive done a lot of work on VWs but never trans work and it's a scary deal. Best place to buy the kit? Amazon has kit w solenoids for $138. I say thats a good deal
You may not need the solenoids but it wouldn’t hurt. Take a picture of the wiring before you unplug anything! It’ll help get everything plugged back in correctly! Good luck!
I have a 2014 model 2.5 mk6 which is an auto and after some time in traffic it shakes the cabin when increasing its rpm slowly from 2to3 gear , and after sometime it shows the 🔧 at the section where writes PRND
After i turn the car off and on again it removes the 🔧
I have checked it for tranmission issues with computer and it doesnt show any error on the tranmission
It shows only this P0106 (manifold pressure bar )and P2096 (poor catalist fuel trim)
Do you think this two are related to the transmission? And in your opinion what should i do?
From the symptoms and codes I would not target the transmission. I would look into the fuel system and sensors.
What size adapter did you use? 1/4 NPT barb does NOT fit?? What part number did yours have in this video, it is not clear.
The info on that is in the description. Thanks for watching!
Great demonstration of changing out the transmission fluid. 😇🙏🏽😍
Thanks for the comment!
what is there was no trans filter...i bought one from salvage yard. Not sure if they took it out. Is there a way to find out what filter your supposed to use
I would buy both and start with the tall one. If the pan will not go on then use the short one. Return the one that doesn’t fit! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video thank you. The nylon plug for filling was not 1/4" so ended up holding the hose to the drain hole. I think it is M10 or 3/8"?
I see you're comment saying 1/8". Thanks again!
Finished my fluid change, so far bumpy shift from 1-2 & 2-3 is now smooth as butter!
@Shpleagan how is it shifting now? Did it smooth out?
@@heathputnam9524 it is shifting much smoother now. I did drive across the city with lots of stop and go traffic then rushed on the highway when it was 30°C which caused the transmission lights to light up and the shifting became clunky. It only happened the one time though and I was pushing the motor pretty good. I have done a 300km trip and lots of city driving with no issues otherwise. I think I need to do another fluid change.
Before the fluid change the transmission lights would turn on when it got to temperature almost everytime I drove.
For the fluid change I replaced the filter and gasket then refilled with Valvoline Multi-Vehicle ATF which is supposed to meet the VW standards
Hi thanks sharing.
İ want to ask something.
How check atf level ? Engine running and Transmission stay P
Or D or N ..
Or engine stop and check atf.?
There isn’t an easy way to check the level. The end of the video shows how to fill the transmission up and let it auto level. As far as I know that is the only method to ensure the right amount of fluid is in it. Thanks for the comment!
Great video.There is a fill opening for the transmission fluid in the front.Why did you have to go through the back door?
Some later models do have filler ports in the front but most models do not.
Couldn't you just take the oil pan off and fill it to the top of the overflow plug, then just replace it with the new oil still in the pan?
No, the vehicle needs to be running and warmed up so it will have the right amount of oil in the transmission. Please follow the instructions or you will ruin your transmission! Thanks for watching!
What's the best way to fill the fluid if I don't take out the snorkel plug?
Same way. Just take out the drain and pump the fluid in. Let it warm up and then put the plug in like the video shows!
I dont know how I can thank you for this diy vid.. my hard shfit (1-2) has stopped completly after several weeks of driving .. all I have to do now is change my every 30000 km .. NB for all wait patienly for it fluid to bubble out when leveling it can be tempting to close while the stream is getting small .
Happy it helped! Yeah you need to wait for air bubbles! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video! Lots of great information.
Where did he get the fitting to fill the trans
Does this apply to a 07 vw Jetta 2.5 Wolfsburg edition?
If it has an Aisin 6 speed auto, then it will work!
Great video. Would an IR temperature gun give the same temperature readings as the OBD readout when shooting it at the oil pan?
An IR gun should work fine, it may lag a little. You could point it at the oil coming out, that would be more accurate. Thanks for watching!
I've seen elsewhere where someone checked, and the IR temperature read ~10 or 12 degrees lower. If you use the IR gun, I suggest targeting the bottom end of the specified range (95F).
This is a really great video. Thank you man.
Thanks for the comment!
filthy fluid..any shifting issues or shuddering ?
Fixed the jerky hard shifting problem! Smooth as silk now! Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for a great video. Very concise on all the steps I need to be done. Notice to use a aftermarket automatic transmission fluid. Any issues or would you recommend or not recommend using that fluid?
The aftermarket works great! Thanks for watching the video!
My golf 5 2.0 fsi hard shift 1st to second gear will this help?
Plus my mechanic suggested to replace the transmission oil cooler
Changing the fluid and filter may help. Is your oil cooler leaking or malfunctioning? Thanks for watching?
Thanks man changing the oil was helpful , the gasket was worn out , atf was leaking. Engages like brand new 🙃
Great to hear! Thanks for the follow up!
Great video! Have a question. When transmission is 45 °C , what should be the engine temperature? I don't have a sophisticated ODB. Mine only reads the engine.
There will not be a correlation between the engine and the transmission temp. You could get a cheap IR temp gun from Harbor Freight and aim it at the pan. Thanks for watching!
Use a temperature gun on the pan
How do I know the right filter? When I look it up it shows 2 different ones.. one has flat inlet and the second one with upper inlet..2012 jetta 2.5l with 09G transmission please help thank you
Honestly I ordered both and returned the on that didn’t fit. Mine was the thicker one. Thanks for watching!
If I damage that filter will it cause my car to not move while in drive
It will cause the transmission to slip and act odd. How did you damage it?
@@heathputnam9524 ran over crub which damage the pan an that filter now it starts up an revs just won't move
You need a replacement pan and new filter. There is not much fluid in the pan and with it bent up and the damaged filter you are starving your transmission of fluid.
Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. I did it this weekend, but have a question. How much fluid did you drain out when you were doing the level check? I put 5.5qts in (what I drained), but when I went to check the level a lot of it drained out. So much that it was still draining when the temperature went above 114F. I put the plug back in and let it cool. Once back in the range I turned the car back on and let it drain until it started trickling out and then closed everything up. I measured I had drained another 3.5qts... I so total I only added 2qts, which makes me nervous to drive it.
Did you run it through the gears including neutral and reverse? Then let it drain? If not you may need to do that.
@@heathputnam9524 Yeah, I ran it through the gears. I'm going to order some more fluid and do the level check again
It sounds to me like you may have a situation like I found when changing mine last week. 5.5qts came out....seems someone had massively overfilled the box. I was surprised by the amount so pumped back in 5qts, ran the car up to temp and watched a lot of it drain out (which as you say, was somewhat disconcerting). Nonetheless, I trusted the actual process and level as to what it should be - and now the box, which was harsh shifting previously, is now beautifully smooth and as it should be. I also note with live logging on my OBDEleven that the coolant temp has now dropped a good 20 degrees versus how it was (another clear sign it was grossly overfilled) I have a feeling that some jiffy lube type places or ill informed DIYers seem to be throwing 5 quarts in and calling it good for some reason. Who knows how long the car had been like that - I just bought it for my daughter and as always when buying high miler cars, have been doing a ton of DIY service work as you never know what craziness has occurred during prior ownership.
Yes please follow the video instructions and you should be fine! But watch the video carefully and remember to leave the snorkel fitting in place! That sets the level! Thanks for commenting and watching!
@@heathputnam9524 Yeah. I'm going to do it again just to make sure. I replaced the snorkel when I did it, so I'm sure it's in there. I might drop the pan again to make sure nothing weird is going on. Thanks again for the vid!
What kind of OBD2 reader did you use? Great video on DIY service.
It’s called ODB Eleven… thanks for watching!
@@heathputnam9524 Thank You.
Quick Question
I have a 2006 Beetle with the HTU Transmission.... is this the same as the 09G Transmission in this video?
It appears to be the same transmission. It will be the same steps, just purchase the gasket and filter for your exact model and year transmission. Thanks for the comment!
@@heathputnam9524 Hey thanks for the reply,
Yes your right they're the same, my local Volkswagen dealership likes me make things hard, lol
Ordered the 1/4 npt as described, but your link was to a 1/8 npt.. I got both and it’s 1/8, not 1/4.. the hose barb size is 1/4 or 3/8 depending on what hose you’re using to refill..
Wow! Thanks for the update! And thanks for watching!
trying to keep my sons 08 rabbit running. error code P0734, i am not a mechanic but this seems fairly straight forward. Would it be worth it to give this a go to solve the issue? or should i pay to have it done?
Many people have followed this video and had good results! You will save some money and learn some about the Rabbit! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Is this the same process for a 2020 passat 4cylinder (non-dsg)??
It is the same if you have an Aisin 09G 6 speed automatic. Thanks for the comment!
Is Jetta 2.0l the same? Size of adapter?
Same size if it is an Aisin transmission! Thanks for watching!
I drained the trans gearbox and dropped the fluid pan to change the filter. How do i get trans fluid into the gearbox? is it the same way you are doing to fill the trans pan? Thank you kindly
Same way.
Loved the sound effects 😂
Other websites say to have the fluid temperature at target level between 95 - 113 F before draining? Is this really necessary or does it just need to be hot, immediately after the engine reaches operating temperature?
The transmission needs to be between those temperatures to set the correct fluid level. The oil expands a lot when it is warming up. If you do not have the correct amount of fluid you will cause slippage and/or damage to your transmission. Thanks for the comment!
@@heathputnam9524 This didn't answer my question. I know the fluid temperature has to be correct when checking the fluid level. What I am asking is, if the temperature of the fluid has to be hot while draining. Can it be drained cold?
I drain cold. Sorry for not answering the first time.
That's what I was hoping you would say. I figured that as long as it was warm and easy to flow, that was all that was necessary for draining.
Filling, on the other hand does require the extra steps of going through the gears, monitoring temperature and draining the overflow from the standpipe aka "snorkel" tube. @@heathputnam9524
You got it! Thanks for watching!
You never used the ATF fill adapter? Is that necessary and if so at what part in the process?
That is the nylon fitting. It saves a lot of cash! Thanks for the moment!
@@heathputnam9524 Alright sounds good. I got the metal black fitting you attached as a link because the atf adapter was not in stock
Great! Good luck!
Hello which brand ATF used on this video?
It’s in the comments! Thanks for watching!
Thank you, sir. My bad@@heathputnam9524
not on point, but I cant get my OBD2 scanner to read my 2012 VW Jetta se, any thoughts
I love the sound effects 😂. Thank you for making this video!
Thanks for watching!
2:24?😂
The easy way to fill is through the solenoid in front, just unscrew and use a tube so it goes naturally
Can somebody say where that level tube that was placed in the pan can be found or give some specs on it
The snorkle tube is part of you transmission pan. It is a stock part and should be on your car.
Fluid level control insert - 09G-321-363-D (drain plug standpipe tube). It is plastic and seems overpriced, but it is definitely necessary. Be careful with it and also do NOT thread it all the way into the sump pan because you will lose it until you either remove the sump pan or leave it in there while buying another one.
What obd are u using? That looks great. If I can have the name of the odb please

thank you for making this video!
THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Exelente video muchas gracias. ¿Como se llama la app con la que verificarse la temperatura del fluido?
Thanks for watching!
🚩🚩HELP! I have a 2007 volkswagen jetta. My transmission only hits from 1st to 2nd! No check engine light. What is it?
Sounds like one of your shifting solenoids has gone bad. Sorry I don’t have a video for that. Thanks for watching!
Is the filter the screen type, or paper element?
Screen.
Thanks for watching
You could also fill up the fluid in the pan and then carefully bolt it back on to avoid having to fill it up with a pump I’ve also done this. It’s hard but it’s easier than using a pump and cheaper than buying a kit and hoses
How long it usually takes for the transmission to warm up to recommended temperatures?
Not long. Maybe 10-15 minutes depending on ambient temperature. Make sure you measure the fluid temperature! Do not go by time! Thanks for watching
@@heathputnam9524 Gotcha thanks
Does this video apply to 2011 2.5 VW Jetta?
If you have the Aisin 09G it applies! Thanks for watching!
I wonder if this is the same process on my 2015 VW Passat 1.8t?
If you have the same transmission (Aisin) then probably... yes! Thanks for watching!
Is your transmission a 6 speed automatic? It should be the same! Just make sure the filter and gasket kit is for your exact year and model! Thanks again for watching!
Quick question, how much fluid does this job need total? Thanks!!
I used about a gallon but some came out during the leveling process. But every transmission will have a little more or a little less held in the passageways. Thanks for watching!
Hi, thanks for video. I have used this Valvoline fluid to my 09G and later noticed it does not have VW origin specification for 09G. Is it big issue? Does it work well in your trasnsmission? Thanks buddy
I have had no problems and did find a specification that stated it works in the Austin 09G. Thanks for the question and for watching!
What fuid did you use? Is there a substitute for the oem fluid.
I stated in the video there is also a link in the description. Thanks for watching!
There is no "universal" fluid. You should definitely use any premium brand ATF which has "VW G 055 025 Spec" on the label. I do not think Valvoline MaxLife has this on it. There are several out there and I personally prefer AMSOIL OE Mulit-Vehicle which also meets the specs for my older model Honda cars.
Here is some more info:
Some of the fluids meeting the VW G 055 025 spec are:
Aisin T-IV (Part No. ATF-0T4) - Same as Toyota T-IV (not full synthetic)
Toyota T-IV - Same as Aisin T-IV (not full synthetic)
Mobil 3309
LM 1200
Ravenol T-IV
Amsoil OE Synthetic ATF - Multi-Vehicle (full synthetic)
Really good video man
Thanks for the comment!
My GF has an 08' Rabbit with the 09G with 214k miles. I've been researching things a bit and I'd like to swap out the transmission fluid. Every so often, always when it's hot out, the trans will do a hard downshift from (what seems like) 3 to 2. If you drive around in S for a day or two (or roughly 30-50 miles), it goes back to feeling great. I don't think the transmission fluid has ever been swapped out. So a couple questions...
Would it be ill advised to do this service at this point? There's a lot of conflicting information online and I can't find anything specific to the 09G.
What year is the Jetta in this video? Some comments are saying a fill port was added at some point. Looking on VWVortex, there's a guy with an '06 Jetta that has one, but it's not in a great spot so I wouldn't fault you for missing it. Seems like a lot of people opt to fill it your way instead because of it's positioning and since the 2.5l takes up so much space in these little cars.
Sooo… the Jetta in the video is my daughters ‘06. It had very rough shifts and would go into some sort of tranny limp mode frequently. Especially when it was hot out… she lives outside of Phoenix so that was most of the time!😂 I changed her fluid out and the problem went away. A lot of people say you should never change old fluid this is because as a tranny wears the fluid gets dirty from wearing components and they think is helps the clutches grab better. I’ve changed fluid in a few different makes and never had any issues… that being said I’m not an expert!😂 But you are not flushing the fluid so there will be quite a bit of the dirty fluid to mix in. The method I show is not difficult, but if your tranny has the fill port you could certainly do it that way but remember you still need to heat up the tranny and drain the excess fluid the same way the video shows. Thanks for watching!
@@heathputnam9524 Thanks for the quick and detailed response! My brother has an '04 Jetta with the 01M trans. Same process, but with (I think) different temperature parameters. I just did the fluid in that one so I'm fairly familiar with it.
What's the app you used called?
Odbeleven! Thanks for watching!
i dont understand how to fill it, why do u drain some fluid? how donu know how much to put?
You may want to watch again, it is all explained in the video. Thanks for watching!
very well done. As much as I like my son's old jetta, maintenance is ridiculous. What's wrong with a fill hole at the right level so when fluid starts to come out, you've reached the top. Shift it around a few times and see if you need to add more. Why VW, why.
I got 2 quarts out of mine...I think this was the problem! It did not shift right after it warmed up as it would lower the fluid level and suck air instead of fluid. It must have a leak somewhere that took 100k miles to finally cause a problem.
Probably! Thanks for the comment!
Great video. Can you tell us from where did you get the white plastic filler adapter?
Thanks
From ACE hardware! Thanks for watching!
Thx from France for my Passat 3c2 with the same automatic transmission 👍👍👍👍.
Thanks for watching! Hope it was helpful!
Why not use the bolt on the side to fill?
Did you have to warm your car to do the drain?
You can warm your car, but I did not and do not really recommend it. I like to leave a little old fluid to mix with the new fluid, but that is just me. Thanks for watching!
How do I find that pump
It is in the description below the video… I got mine from Amazon but they also have it at Autozone and O’Riley’s.
Great video, the OBD2 device that you are used is the OBDeleven ? Which app license option do you have if the temperature can be displayed? the basic or pro?
The Basic on ODBeleven will allow you to do live data, you just cannot code with it. Thanks for watching!
@@heathputnam9524 thank you, If you don't put enough oil in the automatic transmission, is it possible that the cluster gear shift position letters will disappear? I mean the letter P, R, N, D, S. In my case there is only the letter P when I start the car, but they disappear if I switch to Reverse or Drive position
@@RicardoRodriguez-cg9ds having the right amount of fluid is critical to the transmission. Having too little fluid during operation can cause serious problems. Usually the letters flashing is like a check engine light for your transmission, but I have not heard of the problem you are having. Sorry I am not of any help.thanks for watching.
@@RicardoRodriguez-cg9ds There is a electrical connector type box under the transmission status lights you described. My "N" light stopped working, so I reinsurted the wires going into the connector.
Thanks for the comment!
hello, what interval to do the oil change?
Around 60k miles
The transmission filter that I purchased in a kit has a bigger filter hole than the existing will this be a problem?
Oh, was it the right kit for your year and model?
Yes
The one that I purchase is exactly as the one in your video the existing one has a smaller hole, more flow of fluid. Will this be a problem?
If it is the hole on the bottom it will not be a problem. If it is where it meets the tranny that is a problem! 👍🏼
Thanks man yeah it’s not the one with the gaskets. It’s the other one so I’m good appreciate it great video.
The filter kit on Amazon appears to be the short filter. Do you have the part number for the long filter? Also i just got the car with 158k miles would you recommend changing the fluid? I have heard of people changing the fluid and the transmission start slipping and go out due to not having the clutch material thats in the fluid for grip any longer lots of mixed opinions on it.
You can use the same method to check the level. At a bare minimum check the level of the fluid and if it is not too burnt (black) you can probably change it. Doing the fluid and filter change this way still leaves some of the old fluid and gunk inside the transmission. Are you having transmission problems with it?
@@heathputnam9524 yes it shifts fine cold but once it warms up it holds the gear kinda long then shifts hard
If it were my car I would change the fluid and filter just like the video, but that being said, I have also heard people say it can cause slippage. I have not seen it occur myself, but it could. If you change the fluid and filter, then something goes wrong... I cannot take responsibility. Good luck and thanks again for watching!
so u mean to tell me that a 2010 golf 2.5 has a different transmission,or something different?
did you use maxlife? how good was it?
