Hey everyone this is my first post here so be nice to me! I drive a 2010 TDI Jetta Sedan and love it. My girlfriend has a 2001 Jetta GL (gasser) with the beloved 01M tranny in it. At 130,000 miles, the tranny is doing what 01Ms do at that age. She has never had the fluid changed (after all its "lifetime" ) and it is throwing a code. I am going to VCDS it tmrw and see what the code is but the question is, do I change the fluid or leave it. I have heard folks say no never change it at this many miles, and then more folks say it won't hurt it one bit. If I change it, I am thinking of going with the Mobil 1 full synthetic and following the Bentley procedures to a T and crank that little pressure ratchet thing three to four turns only... Seems the best idea from what reading in the forums I have done on the ratchet wheel and the 01M
Anyone want to chime in on this? Thoughts to leave it alone , change it, deviate from the Bentley procedures etc?
I will never hear the end of it if I change the fluid and the thing is worse or never drives again. Though she would have to get an A3 TDI to replace it
