Does this car have paddle shifters? If not, here is how to change the transmission fluid out and the fluid type as well.

Initial Fill. 7.0 Liters
Refill. 3.0 Liters

Note:
The planetary gear set and final drive have a common Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) filling.

Fluid Type: VW G 055 025 A2 or an equivalent VW-approved ATF
Notes: Use only genuine or VW-approved ATF to prevent transmission damage.

To service this transmission, it takes a special tool which goes into the drain plug to help set the new fluid level. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
