What’s the Importance of Your 2020 Golf’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms.

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Volkswagen Golf transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Volkswagen Golf transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Golf at all.

Questions About 2020 Volkswagen Golf’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Volkswagen? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Volkswagen? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Golf's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2020 Golf’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Volkswagen Golf leak transmission fluid? Yes. Volkswagen Golf 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.
  • Where can I get my  Volkswagen Golf transmission fixed? If you have a problem with your transmission system, don’t hesitate to visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Our expert technicians can diagnose and repair Golf transmission leaks and other issues. Schedule an appointment today!
  • Can I still drive my Volkswagen Golf if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Golf to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
