What’s the Importance of Your 2013 Beetle’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Beetle’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Volkswagen Beetle transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Volkswagen Beetle transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Beetle at all.

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Volkswagen's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Volkswagen tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Beetle towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Beetle is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Beetle transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Volkswagen Beetle’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Volkswagen. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Volkswagen Beetle? Yes, your Volkswagen Beetle can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Beetle ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Beetle to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
