Why Does My VW Need a Transmission Fluid Exchange?

The transmission fluid in your VW may become contaminated as time goes by. Microscopic shavings of metal and rubber pieces can come loose and float around in the fluid, which makes it less effective at lubricating your transmission. This is possible in automatic and manual transmissions, but automatic transmissions have another potential problem: transmission fluid degradation. Because automatic transmissions generate so much heat, the fluid itself can begin to break down. In either case, the fluid will need to be exchanged so that the transmission in your VW continues to function properly.
