Yeah thats OK that link Ray. However, VW have a disclaimer that if they change the fluid and then the tranny doesnt work, its not their fault.

Plastic valves in the unit are held in place by sediment, when you flush that out and refill with fresh fluid, it may not work the same.

Good luck, hope it works out for you.
