How much will it cost to replace the transmission oil on a 2003 Passat?

On accident I drained the transmission fluid on 2003 Passat. I did some research and I found out that they can add fluid at the VW dealership. Does anyone know how much that will cost?How much will it cost to replace the transmission oil on a 2003 Passat?
Should not cost more than $250, plus your towing bill.


Do not start or drive the car, the tiptronic tranny can cost upwards of $7000, nothing at a VW dealer is cheap.How much will it cost to replace the transmission oil on a 2003 Passat?
If you have drained the fluid from the transmission, DO NOT ATTEMPT to start the vehicle or add fluid to it. Have it towed to a VW specialist (doesn't have to be the dealer, but someone who has the right scanner/software) and knows the proceedure to add fluid to the transmission.





The transmission uses a special fluid; generally only available at the dealership and has a special proceedure using the VW diagnostic scanner with the correct software and is done by temperature. Use of the wrong fluid and/or proceedure will surely ruin the transmission.





Normally, expect to pay about an hour of labour time (at the posted hourly rate) + fluid. The fluid usually sells for about $20 per quart (give or take), needing at least 3-4 quarts of fluid to fill the transmission.





You cannot just ';add fluid'; to the transmission especially if its an automatic transmission... Hopefully, you didn't drain the transmission pan completely.





Hope this helps, a car nut.
