2010 Volkswagen Routan Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Volkswagen? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Volkswagen Routan? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Routan’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Routan is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Routan's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Volkswagen Routan’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 my Volkswagen Routan leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Volkswagen Routan can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Routan 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.
