I replaced the control arm and I had to removethe transmission pan to do it .M yquestion was not about the control arm.I was asking if it was ok to use the Castrol transmax high mlleage transmission fluid it is a type ATF but does not metion Volkswagen on the bottle but says its for many foreign cars with 75,000 miles.Advance auto says its ok I just want a second opinion.
My answer was vw fluid.
You need to check the fluid between an atf temperature of 35 & 45c.
The level plug is at the back of the pan... 5mm allen. Fluid is added at the small tube at the front (should have a red security seal around it).
Level is checked while engine is at idle and in park.
