I tried this and it didn’t really work for me. The most easiest way to do this job and don’t have to worry about putting to much or to less is to get the kit. They are about $53 on eBay. 3-Liter exactly to refill. Oil and filter. I also put the old atf back in the new empty bottles and measure if I put the same amount.

Best video on VR6 Transmission fluid and Filter replacement on Youtube. I have a 1999 VW Jetta VR6 and this is by far the most detailed and clear video on the net. Thank you so much.

thanks for the nice video, how do you know it is operating temperature, is it related to engine temperature? In the beginning of video, is it recommended to remove the drain plug or not?

Hi how are you guys I have vw golf 2003 4 cylinder 2.0 and when the gear trying to change from 2 to 3 its a bit rough and sometimes my speed doesn't move….the rpm goes up but still no movement.
I really need to somebody to help me out.

radicalsquare says:

excellent instructions. thanks. I was curious if the filter has a notch to ensure it's oriented correctly when sliding on.
