I would forget about 10K mi transmission oil changes. Noticably better than normal after warming up. It was around 187K miles on the original fluid. My roomate's car was a 2003 VR6, I bought it from him so he could buy my house. and suddenly everything was buttery smooth again. (but only in Southern Florida, hint, hint) dangerously, it refused to go into gear on me out of the blue. I've got three VW transmissions at various intervals.Ģ001 Golf became VERY notchy at 114K miles. BMW always laughed at me, but my comeback to them was "there is no such thing as lifetime fluid until there is a lifetime guarantee!"Īny thoughts from the Forum's wisdom? At this stage, the dealer is checking with a Tech, as they are not even sure if they have the fluid! Really? My old school thinking says metal on metal makes metal, and I should get the filings out of the fluid after a break in. Be it a new to me (used car) or a new car, after some miles, I change the fluid. This is something that I have always done. That said, I asked the dealer to change my manual transmission fluid. I already did the oil and filter and rotated the tires at 5k, but I figured, I'd have the dealer do the checks as prescribed by VW, so as to keep all things in check if I ever need any warranty work done. Its in for its 10k mile oil change today. I'm driving a 6 speed manual in my Cup Car. I've searched and the only things that seem to come up under 'transmission fluid' is a myriad of quibbles about if the dsg is a good or bad transmission.
