VW DISCONTINUED ALL DIPSTICKS AND DIPSTICK TUBES MANY YEARS AGO.
THESE ARE NOW MANUFACTURED HERE, IN THE USA.
PROCEDURE:
With vehicle sitting level and the engine running, selector lever in park,
fluid warm, at 95-113°F/35-45°C, the fluid should be half way between the two
dots. As the transmission temperature increases, the fluid level will rise, as well. Correct level at any time, should be between the upper and lower dots. If below the lower dot, add fluid. If above the upper dot, you must drain some fluid out of the pan.
This kit includes the dipstick tube, the dipstick, and the O-ring for the tube base, along with some brief installation instructions. Installation is not difficult but, it is a little dirty, greasy and somewhat time consuming.
This will replace the short and almost useless plastic fill tube that is attached to the side of your automatic transmission. It will allow you to check the fluid level at any time, whether the engine is cool or at operating temperature. It will also allow you to add fluid to your transmission thru the metal dipstick tube. A long, thin tapered funnel is most helpful for doing so.
For 01P Transmission From 1995 model year, thru the end of production in 2003 for Eurovan and 2005 for Rialta Complete kit includes filter, filter seal, the correct transmission pan gasket and five spacers.
We have found that the majority of these kits in the marketplace have the incorrect pan gasket in their kit.
For 098 Transmission Up to early 1995 model year (Mid1995 to 2005 uses a different filter element, shown below) Complete kit includes filter, seal and gasket
OEM Synthetic blend NOTICE: This fluid was developed at the request of ZF (Zahnradfabrik) for use in a range of different automatic transmissions manufactured by ZF for VW, Audi, BMW, Jaguar and Range Rover. All of these transmissions use the same fluid formula. It does not matter if the fluid is branded as ESSO, Febi-Bilstein or Pentosin. As long as the label specifies LT71141, it is the correct fluid for your transmission.
Serves as both back-up light switch and neutral safety switch for models with automatic transmission ONLY.
From VIN ending in........... 70PH069568 From mid 1993 model year
This switch can also be used to replace the now obsolete switch 095 919 823C, used prior to mid 1993. The plug on the end of the wire harness will have to be changed out to the oval design. Plug is only available from a VW dealer.
OBSOLETE PART AND NO LONGER AVAILABLE
You can use the later style switch, 095 919 823B. These two switches are identical internally, except for the shape of the plug (rectangular vs. oval) You must obtain the oval male portion of the plug from VW (part # 3A0 973 207A) and replace this on the end of the wire harness, making certain that all of the seven wires are in the same correct order.
Serves as both back-up light switch and neutral safety switch Up to VI
