Sadly, about every third post mentions keeping after your transmission fluid.

I just had mine flushed even though my dealer just certified it for sale and the technician did not think that it looked too bad. The car is 7 years old and I could not confirm brake or transmission fluid changes, so I did them.

I own two 740s with over 225,000 miles on each and I think that the regular fluid changes scheduled for this model adds to their longevity.

Make sure that your Pssat does not suffer the same fate. I dealt with VW technicians for 10 years or so. Unless they have changed, they were not as good as the Volvo ones that I deal with are now!
