Re: please advise how to change 1999 VW Jetta ATF? I
If there is no dipstick, chances are you have what is known as an 01M transmission. The fluid CAN be changed, but it is a bit more involved than normal. I STRONGLY suggest you read the Bentley manual or better yet, Google "Dan's VW page". Good Luck

Drain ATF.

If ATF needs to be topped up, then only ATF with Part No. G 052 990 A2 may be used.
Hopefully if guessed the correct engine and automatic not standard!
THE 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION At the bottom of the automatic gearbox (tiptronic) you will find one threaded plug on below surface, (follow red arrow in the picture below). This is for emptying.
The oil level threaded plug is placed on the car front lateral automatic gearbox surface, (follow yellow arrow in the picture below).
The filling oil plug is placed on the upper automatic gearbox surface, (follow green arrow in the picture below).
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) checking: 1. Requirements for check: 1.1. Vehicle standing on level surface. 1.2. Transmission must not be in fail-safe mode. 1.3. Shift lever in "P" position, parking brake applied. 1.4. Engine idling. 1.5. Air Conditioner and heater OFF. 1.6. ATF temperature must not exceed 104 Fahrenheit degree (40 Celsius degree) at start of test. 1.7. Automatic gearbox oil capacity: 2,5 liter. Only ATF with VW designation may be used. Do not use any lubricant additives. 1.8. Automatic Transmission Fluid ATF - part number: VW G 052 990 A2 1.9. An ATF level check when transmission oil temperature is too low results in overfilling, when too high results in underfilling. 2. CAUTION: Too much or too little ATF will affect the operation of the transmission. The ATF level must be checked at regular intervals.

Keep in mind Auto transmissions don't like to be run dry.
Also keep in mind that the 01M Automatic you most likely have retails for like $4000 just for the unit, not installation.
The corner trans guy can't rebuild the trans. This is a special unit
Just to check the fluid-
Hook up a Laptop with Vag.Com software installed.
Start the car and go into the transmissions data blocks and go to block 005, this will display fluid temp.
-ATF temperature not above approx. 30C (86F) -Vehicle level -Selector lever in "P" -If ATF is below 30C (86F) bring the ATF up to test temperature. Test temperature: 35C to 45 (95 to 113F) -Remove ATF level plug from oil pan.
CHECKING PHYSICAL QUANTITY
If ATF drips out of hole: ATF need not be topped up. -Install new seal on plug and tighten to 15 Nm11 ft lb). ATF check is completed.
If ATF does not drip out -Remove plug from filler line. -Fill with VW ATF (G 052 162 A2) until ATF runs out of level hole -Install new seal on plug and tighten to 15 Nm (11 ft lb). ATF check is completed.
CAUTION! Too little or too much ATF will adversely affect transmission function.
