What kind of transmission fluid should I put in a 1997 VW Cabrio?

I recently bought a 1997 VW cabrio that has the 2.0 4 cylinder engine. It needs a transmission fluid change and I need to know what type of fluid to put in it. I don't know if it needs some kind of special fluid since it is a volkswagen?|||The factory fill uses Pentosin Brand ATF. The original vehicle factory manuals suggest Dexron III VW automatic transmission fluid, others recommend VW automatic transmission fluid meeting Audi VW specification TL52162 . It seems that the factory began to indicate changes in fluid recommendations with vehicles manufactured in 1995.





Starting around 2001 semi-synthetic VW part number G 052 990 A2 automatic transmission fluid started being used in 09A series transverse mounted 5 speed VW Tiptronic transmissions. Around 2002 Pentosin G 052 182 A2 fluid (Factory fill) was used in 6 speed models with direct shift automatic gearbox (DSG) double clutch transmissions code 02E. All customers should check there VW owners manual or VW factory service manual for what ATF is recommended for use in their vehicle. Starting in 2005 VW 09G series 6 speed transmissions (non DSG) used G 055 025 A2 ATF.





You should check your VW owners manual or VW factory service manual for what ATF is recommended for use in your particular vehicle, since there are several different transmissions.|||You are right to think it takes only VW fluid, here is a place you can buy online.
