Questions About 2019 Volkswagen Atlas’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Volkswagen's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Volkswagen Atlas? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Atlas towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Atlas is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Atlas's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Volkswagen Atlas’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Volkswagen's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Volkswagen Atlas leak transmission fluid? Yes. Volkswagen Atlas transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
