B5.5 tranny fluid

[stefan]

Another b5.5 passat question...

From various source, I have been told not to bother with an auto tranny flush on my passat because there is a high instance of in causing problems on higher mileage cars (140k km). My question is what is the best thing to do then. Do I leave it because it has "lifetime" fluid, or do I change the fluid with no flush, or chance it an do the works?

Opinions please....

Cheers

Re: B5.5 tranny fluid

You never want to flush but changing the filter and cleaning the magnets is easy and well worth it. Cost of materials varies on code and a vag com is required as you have to fill watching the trans temp.
