hey everyone. I just recently bought a 98 Jetta GLS and i am replacing all the drive train fluids. but i am not sure on what kind of fluids i should use. this is my first VW and i dont want to mess anything up. Please Help.. (gotta love a newbie!!)

 

By all the drive train fluids do you mean the oil and the transmission? Oil 5W-40 or 10W-40. What kind of trans do you have?

 

i have already done the oil. but now i want to do the trans, gear box, brake fluid, power-steering and so on.. i bought the car from a guy on craigslist so i have no idea if or when any of them were changed..

the motor is a 2.0 and it has a 5 speed manual trans. front disc and rear drums for the brakes.

 

Trans, synthetic 75W-90. No gearbox. Dot4 brake fluid. Any power steering fluid.

 

thnx for the help. is there any other preventative maitnence that you would recomend? not only is this my first VW and the first car i have ever OWNED. so i am just wanting to take every step i can to turn my 195K car into a 300K car. thnx again!!
