a few newbie questions......
The autotranny fluid of my 04 tdi wagon has not been changed since new. Is too late to change it at 145k (kms)? I have no issues so far with the tranny, all gears shift smooth. I am a bit reluctant to touch the trannny without any issues and get in to a mess. it happend to me on my passt B4 .... i never knew if the previous owner changed it.... I changed the fluid at 173k (kms) and the fiasco started....what are the member experiences?
next question: could i extract few liters of trannny fluid from the top filler tube (when it has cooled down overnight for 10 hours or so) and just replace the exact amount of fluid to keep it a bit fresh? i am knida hessitant to open it from the bottom.....
Thanks in advance for your thoughts...
