1985 Volkswagen Scirocco 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use 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 load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Scirocco’s towing capacity.

Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
