It requires you having a scanner since it must be checked at roughly 33*C

There is a thread on VWVortex in the forums, I think it's under Technical/Transmissions. Anyway, it has a pretty good write up which I plan on doing as soon as my 03 Jetta gets to 10K miles. The only part I dont understand is why is a scanner necesarry when refilling? Why can't I just measure what comes out and refill with that amount? Assuming I haven't had any leaks.
TIA.

You can do that assuming it wasn't low! And if it is low it's covered by VW power train warranty. So, there's no need to mess with it. When the temp gets to about 30*C it must start to drip out the check tube, if not you must add.

AND assuming the right amount was installed at the factory. This is a dangerous assumption, in my experience.
