How to Change the Automatic Transmission Fluid on the Volkswagen Tiguan?

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Transmission fluid

To change the transmission fluid on the Volkswagen Tiguan, raise the car to access its underside. This will allow you to loosen the bolt securing the transmission oil drain plug, which is located near the gearbox. Place a container underneath to collect the used oil until it has completely drained. Once the old oil has drained out, insert the new fluid by connecting a tube to a pump and inserting it into the drain hole. By pumping the pump, you can insert the new transmission oil.
