    Thanks for the video, it was helpful.
    A few tips:
    Always remove or at least loosen the fill plug before draining, if it's stuck it's much better to know before you drain.
    When it stops draining start the engine, shift through the gears, and turn it off, more fluid will drain. I did this 3 times and got a gallon of old fluid out instead of under two quarts. I've done this with many transmissions. Another option is to disconnect one of the cooler hoses and run the engine to pump the fluid out, this works very well too.
    Instead of filling with a pump I use a hose with a funnel jammed in it. Put the hose in the hole with the funnel in the engine compartment and pour it in, much faster & easier than a pump. Something I discovered on this trans, if you pour in a gallon without starting the engine, the fluid will be up to the fill plug and some will spill out. Next time I'll add three quarts then start it before adding the 4th.

      @@eeckeck The pipe has to be removed to drain the fluid regardless if you choose to run the engine and shift the gears. After it stops draining you then start the engine and shift through the gears, then turn it off. After a short wait it'll start draining again. When it stops you can run the engine and shift again.

    That Torx fill plug has an O-ring. Make sure it is in place when you put that plug back in. It is just a rubber O-ring you might be able to get from the hardware store. If you are like me you might even have a small assortment of O-rings that may fit.

  • @charleshines6155
    @charleshines6155 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you think that is dirty look what is in the pan that won't drain out. The pan is designed in such a way that there is no way to drain that nasty gunk out and some old fluid even remains in there too. To get that all out you must drop the pan. I blow out my garage with a battery leaf blower first so there is less of a chance that a hard breeze might get dust in there when the pan is off. These things are sometimes problematic when you don't have dirt in them. When the pan is off you will realize why all the fluid does not come out of it (yes, I know much of it is also in the torque converter but that is different).

    • @MrTheHillfolk
      @MrTheHillfolk 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea I'll try and change it again in a few weeks from the first change if it was nasty ,because of half the old fluid staying in the torque converter.

      I've got a vag-com and I'm gonna diy it,I've gotta climb under and check my trans code as I'm searching for the fluid and filter and they want that info.
      The prices on aftermarket fluids and filters that meet spec is quite a range.
      Fluid seems to range from 7-8$ a liter to 15 or so, and up to 26 for oem fluid.
      Filters range all over from 15$ for probably junk to 30-40$ for a decent filter and even approaching 100$ for oem.
      That's where ya need your trans code , for the filter.
      I searched it on ECS because they have a nice layout to search.

    With the level tube installed and drain bolt removed, it seems impossible to overfill. My Kia van has a 6-speed auto and as long as the transmission temperature is within a small range, the fluid will trickle out in a steady stream from the upper fill hole on the valvebody when the level is correct. But, the engine has to be running for the level to be correct. On the VW (I just bought a 2013 Golf Sportwagen) if I don't measure what comes out, can I just fill until it stops draining from the level tube? Thanks.

      Sounds like it's a bit too late. If the transmission fluid comes out brown or black, you definitely need to get it serviced. You might even need an overhaul on the transmission for parts that have worn out.

    • @bigabescanal2799
      @bigabescanal2799 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You should always change the filter if doing an engine oil change. This video was for transmission fluid. Also change transmission filter if you can. He said in the video that this was for people that want a quick easy task. Changing the filter takes longer and may require more tools.

    Hi maybe you can help me. I have a 2012 2.5 se and I have an oil leak that I don know where it’s coming from. The dripping is common under between the transmisión and the engine. I thought that it was the vacuum pump gasket but I went and had it replaced and it’s still leaking. I can’t tell for shire if it’s still leaking from there. By what I’ve described. What could be the leak coming from? Any advise you can provide will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

      Youre not , unless you remove it.
      That's why if it's really old fluid ,you should change it again in a few weeks after the first change because a typical pan drop fluid change only gets like half the fluid out.

    How has the Maxlife fluid been working in there? I only wonder because the dealer's fluid is so expensive. I know a parts store that sells Pentosin ATF1 LV for $50 for a 5 liter jug. A lot of places sell it for 80 something. As Pentosin is know to make some of the fluids that Volkswagen uses that may very well be a good choice for these cars. I should get some of that. I wonder if it is on sale or something since a lot of people are at home in these dismal times. Even not on sale that is a good price. I think FCP Euro sells it too. It is well worth a look even if you don't decide to buy from them. They have a lifetime guarantee on parts AND fluids. You pay once for it, then when you order again they actually encourage you to send back the used stuff and you get a refund. It is not return fraud or anything like that, they expect you to send it back. They use it for heat in some shops probably local to them. When it comes to the parts you can use and abuse them and they take them back, just ask them. You will not believe your eyes and ears and you will think it is too good to be true!! I am not affiliated with them at all, just sharing what I have found. Even with this quarantine we are all in they are still operating but for now they don't let anyone into their store, it is online only for now.
