Replace the fluid twice if it has never been changed or not changed for some time, seriously. Do it once then boot the car around for about 10 miles, then change the filter/strainer on the 2nd change. You need to make sure the ATF temperature is 30 deg C when checking level.

 

I remove the pan and clean it fully with brake clean :)

 

When fluid stops running out of the hole "normally" immediately plug it rather than waiting around, this is because turbulance inside the pan will be splashing some fluid out still but it is at the correct level.

 

Use the genuine VW fluid. Febi also sell an OEM spec version which I use no problem, and its quite cheap: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006DHRUM0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

 

You could use the Febi for the first flush and then genuine VW ATF for the 2nd change, if you are very fussy :)

 

You should be able to get away with 10L for 2 changes but might be worth having 15L on hand.

 

Hope that helps!
