What Exactly is a Volkswagen Transmission Fluid Exchange, and Why is it Important?

Simply put, a transmission fluid exchange is where the old fluid in your transmission is flushed out and replaced with new fluid. This service is important, as transmission fluid breaks down over time due to the heat and friction it is repeatedly subjected to, and it can also become filled with contaminants. Clean, flowing fluid is vital to keeping your transmission system lubricated and functioning. Letting it go too long without clean fluid can cause serious, irreversible damage that could lead to costly repairs (and, in worst-case scenarios, cost you your vehicle).
