This question keeps getting posted on our "To be answered"board.
I can assure you that when it comes to Volkswagons exovcds is an expert. He knows them very well and has given you excellent advice. The most important of which is not to overfilll the transmission.

If it's the 5sp auto tranny... fluid is added through the same hole that the level is checked on (plug at bottom of pan).

The above instructions were for the 4sp 01M Transmission.
