How Do You Check The Transmission Fluid In A Volkswagen Golf III?
On many cars, checking the transmission fluid level is just as easy as checking the engine oil; all you have to do is check the dipstick under the hood. On the Volkswagen Golf III, it isn’t that easy. This car has a sealed transmission, which means that the fluid level has to be checked using a special plug underneath the car. Further complicating things, the engine has to be warmed up and running, and the car has to be level, which means no putting it up on your jack. This is usually a job for the mechanics because a hydraulic lift or oil change bay is needed, but if you have access to either of those, you can do it yourself in just a few minutes. Start the car and drive it for about ten miles or twenty minutes. If possible, drive part of the way on a high-speed road that will allow you to cycle through all of the gears. Drive the Volkswagen Golf III to your lift or oil change bay, put it in neutral and leave the engine running. Adjust the bars on your hydraulic lift to the Golf’s roc
