Volkswagen Atlas Transmission Fluid Replacement DIY (2018-2021 VW MQB Atlas, Arteon, Tiguan)

►Replacing your transmission fluid and filter is the best way to ensure it stays trouble-free throughout your ownership. The fluid will lose some of its hydraulic and protective properties through thousands of miles of use, increasing strain on every other internal component. Eventually, solenoids can clog, and bands can slip, leaving you without a functioning transmission. VW specifies an 80,000-mile interval for the fluid, but we, and most independent shops, believe that a 50,000-mile interval is far more beneficial. Replacing the transmission fluid on the MQB-chassis Volkswagens is fairly similar to most modern automatics. That means that the drain and fill have to take place while the transmission is at a certain temperature. It's a little involved and needs to be done properly, so we're here to show you how. In this video, FCP Euro's Professional DIYer, Mike Hidalgo, replaces the transmission fluid and filter on an MQB Volkswagen Atlas.
