ATF, topping up

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 1995 Volkswagen Jetta III, 1995 Volkswagen Golf III, 1995 Volkswagen Cabrio, 1994 Volkswagen Jetta III, and 1994 Volkswagen Golf III. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Too much ATF will cause transmission malfunctions and must therefore be extracted. This can be done with VAG 1358 A/1 and VAG 1358A probe, or EZ1 fluid evacuator.
Only ATF with the designation Dexron may be used. Do not use any lubricant additives.

Add ATF using a funnel, approx. 3 liters (3.2 US qt.) at first for an initial filling.
Then start engine and shift through all the selector lever positions with the vehicle stationary.
Check ATF level. See ATF LEVEL CHECKING AND TOPPING UP .
Use a non-fluffing cloth for wiping off the dipstick.

The ATF level changes with the temperature of the fluid. The Min. and Max. markings on the dipstick refer to the correct levels for an ATF temperature of 60 °C (140 °F).
