I have a 2001 VW golf tdi. After 80000 mi I wonder if the transmission fluid
should be replaced.

How?

Can this car run 500000 miles with the original fillup. The Bently manual
says nothing regarding this!

VW likes to claim that their ATF is lifetime in some later models but those
of us with Eurovans (in which the AT tends to be unreliable) change it every
40K. Even VW has come around to that idea (my service manual says every 40K
but my dealer said "Nah every 100K is fine" and for most other VWs it
doesn't say at all).

In a Golf, unless it gives some maintenance interval in your maintenance
manual, I'd say every 60K or 80K would be good, definitely every 100K for
sure.

That only happens to Camaros... Smile Actually the above is an old wives tale
and due to the fact that the oil change is not going to fix anything
since it's already damaged...

It's either one or the other...

Actually it CAN hurt.... if the transmission is getting 'loose' and
sometimes slips a bit changing gears, changing the oil can make it worse.

Changing it before somethings wrong or when the problems is a sticky
valve (transmission refuses to shift or to go into 'D' or 'R" from 'N' or
'P') then a fluid change normaly makes it better.
