I am the new owner of 2000 jetta. I have looked every where for dipstick for trani fluid. Anyone got a picture or can point me in right direction? Appreciate any help.

there is none. level is checked with the VAG scanner and a special procedure.
VW stopped using dipsticks in the auto tranny in the A4 model. You have to get a VAG-COM or similiar to check the fluid.
You can actually check it with a thermometer. But you need to follow a specific procedure. Buy a Bently book from

or elsewhere. Also go to

and there is a lot of good advice about transmissions. If you don't know if the fluid was changed, I suggest looking into changing it now. Good luck
It stopped back in '95 part way through the '95 model year on the A3s.
