Well, like tittle says, the tranny. On my 2.0 automatic petrol octy slips sometimes if drived hard. Happens on 2nd to 3rd most of time, but too on 3rd to 4th if gas pedal is pushed hard on highway speeds.

The car have 180.000 Km on clock, at 120.000 Km aprox the fluid level was checked, level was ok.

Can be this low oil level?

Thanks folks!

Has the fluid ever been changed? Transmission fluid needs changing every so often

Never was changed, on shop they toll me was "fine" so i'm thinking it needs to me changed. Can this be the answer to the pliping?

Thanks friend!

Could be auto transmission fluid needs to be changed every so often not sure but I think every 60k miles

Another question friend, and thanks again, here (Venezuela) can be found only :-( Castrol, Motul, Shell and Valvoline oils. What type of oil of any of the named brands is good for the auto trans.?

Thanks!

The name brands will be fine as long as they are to vw specs. Hopefully you still have your hand book and it will say which spec the oil needs to be. Think there could be a filter that may need changing too.

When changing automatic transmission oil always change the filter as well. If you do this yourself, find out the proper procedure to doing it, usually not just "drain and refill".

Raf_, ?Sampolainen, thanks for your help.

Next step is to check owner's manuel in order to know what oil needs my Octavia

Cheers
