I have a 2014 vw 4 liter non dsg transmission. According to vw Its a sealed system and the fluid never has to change? Do i need to change the transmission fluid although the dealership does not recommend it
Is it an Aisin torque converter?

Since it's a Aisin Transmission, do you think Toyota dealer will know how to do it? I changed the tranny fluid every 45k miles when I had the VW.
@runningman Are you the same user as the OP?
@RunningMan
Toyota ≠ Aisin, Aisin makes so many transmissions beyond what they make do for Toyota. Also Aisin-Selki, Aisin-Warner it’s not as simple as “””””“it’s a Toyota”””””””
Also quite a lot of VWs use Jatco, the same ones that the Mazda5 used.
It’s pretty much a simple operation - 99% of the time ya don’t need a dealer or even TBH a mechanic if you’re willing to take the risk and see if you’re mechanically competent.
@InThrustWeTrust nope
@runningman then please post your response in the ‘Your Answer’ section below.
What model is it, MK6 of what? Golf? Passat? Polo?
anyway, if it’s an auto - it generates friction material so the fluid, most definitely, should be replaced.
you don’t say the millage or model or any useful info so I can’t give a more concrete answer but hope this helps.
Also Euro spec? US (Chinese spec)?
It's a Volkswagen I change it every 60,000 mi when they break they cost a fortune
Its an auto transmission
VW recommends changing it every 40k to 45k miles. A lot of VW dealership doesn't do a good job with car services. If this one doesn' treat you and your car well, then go to other one or DIY. Many VW dealerships are dominating the market of a region. Unlike Toyota, they are everywhere. I have been to 3 different VW dealerships, the one treats me well sells me a bunch of things I don't need, the one treats me sh!+ makes the engine oil leaks and burning oil, the one did the recall replaced my headlight without my consent.
