Hi there
Just bought a quite nice Mk 4 Golf, auto, with 140000 kms on it. About to do a service and wonder should I have the auto trans fluid changed [having just lunched the auto in my Caravelle, I'm a little paranoid to say the least...] i have heard the ATF fluid requires a computer to do the refill - any thoughts ?
Also there is a mild whine, from what sounds like the diff, under load - is this typical in the experience of fellow owners ?
Oh, and while I'm asking - is there a chip out there which gives both more power and better economy [only getting 7.5 - 9.5 l/100km [country-city]?
Cheers
Phil

Welcome Phil :D

If its a simple task to change the ATF I'd have it done.

Good Luck.

Phaeton, you really do make a big effort to say Hello :)

Do you have an auto reminder or something ?

Welcome Phil, by the way, there's a fella at work we call "Philthy Phil", he smells bad and doesn't brush his teeth.. But i'm sure you're not like that. :wasntme:
