Hey Folks, I was just curious how often Vanagons should have their auto trans fluid changed? I don't own a Bentley manual yet to check, so I thought I'd ask. Is it as frequently as oil changes, i.e. 3 - 5k miles? The PO of my westy had both the oil and auto tranny fluid changed the week I bought it, so I do know the status of each. Currently, my trans fluid has 6k miles on it. Is there a way to check the condition of my tranny fluid? My engine is running fine (108k) , and I am getting 18 mpg. I am preparing to have my oil changed again and wondered if I need to be concerned with my transmission fluid too. Just curious, TIA dave :) _______________ dave bowers Portland, Oregon 1986 Westy "G2" http://www.dave-bowers.com/vw |
