1991 Volkswagen Fox Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your 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 Fox? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Fox towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Fox is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Fox transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1991 Fox’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Volkswagen Fox transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Volkswagen Fox can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Fox 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.
