My dealership wants 400 dollaroos to change the fluid and filter on my automatic transmission at 50k.
Is this even needed? Its a vw.

Lmao wtf bruh, no fuck that shit. Bounce the fuck outta there
What filter what mileage? Also IF the trannsmission works and shifts fine then dont do it. Also 400$ is some fucking joke. I dont know im eurokek but i think this job should cost 70$ including the filters
>>13963155
Just do it yourself man. Twenty minutes on youtube or google is all it takes to learn how.
Plus it will save you about $350.

>$400 to change the fluid
>paying that much to change the fluid on anything
Jesus Christ, did the at least buy you dinner before they tried to fuck you?
>>13963155
It is needed but not at that rate. Do it yourself for about $20, $40 with tool purchase, wtf man?
>>13963155
>$400
>to change tranny oil
U focken wot m8. Go buy a lift and some jack stands for $200 and tell that cheeky cunt to fuck himself.

You do need to change it though.
The filter and fluid cost 160 bucks alone.
I need some sort of pump to get to everything?
My crown vic was simple. This german shit is not. Its a 09G VW 6 speed tiptronic

Bruh you're looking at $75-$100 just for the fluid and filter/gasket kit.
>>13963177
This is false. Atf is a detergent and should be changed at regular intervals to remove contaminants from the system. Neglect is the #1 cause of failure in automatic transmissions.
>>13963155
lol it's a VW, it's gonna shit the bed in another 50k anyways, why bother?
>>13963232
oh don't worry Germans always try to make it as easy as possible for owners to do their own maintenance

>Bruh you're looking at $75-$100 just for the fluid and filter/gasket kit.
Which is still $300-$325 cheaper than the stealership
Please do it.
Fluid and filter change at 50k is a great step to a car with 200k and the original drivetrain.
I had it done to a merc gm for i believe 130ish by a shop.
Now i usually drain a gallon at a time from the atf return coupling at the radiator and add a gallon thru the dipstick with oil changes after i buy something.
I generally buy old shit with way sketchy servicing tho, ymmv
>>13963535
it just baffles me that people expect shops to work on their shitty piles of crap for free.
I'm not at all familiar with vw products but 1.5 hours of labor + parts and equipment should equal roughly $300-400 depending on the labor rate.

>Is this even needed?
Read the owner's manual. If that doesn't tell you, read the factory service manual.

>$150 an hour labour
>Acceptable
My local shop charges £50 (about $80) and hour, and that's still extortionate. I take my shitbox to a 4x4 specialist (despite the fact my shitbox is FWD) since he works for £25 (~$40) an hour
sorry but I have to
s-ss-sauce OP?

I get charged like 50 bucks to change the motor and transmission oil on my car at a little car shop. Unless you have a warranty stay away from dealers for labor.

>I live in poverty on a shitty island
Cool story bro. You realize you don't just fucking choose what local shop's labor rates are like, huh?
