  • What happens if I "ride" my Volkswagen's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Volkswagen tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your Golf towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my Golf's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Volkswagen Golf transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Volkswagen Golf leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Volkswagen Golf, potentially causing transmission problems.
