none but a vw golf 2004
Hello folks I have a golf 2004 with a transmission leak. Some pictures: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/geoox2g7yg8zsgq/AACNePsSrr3HwIqnvZjQUpWYa?dl=0 (comment in one picture)

So I'm looking at these products: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017C5YWNQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2P985UG1YLI2I&th=1

in its comments one says "Only works on rubber/EPDM type seals, and actually dissolves plastic/teflon/delrintype seals."

Should I use it with this tranny?

also I see fluid around the drive axle shaft, and I found this product:
https://www.idparts.com/drive-axle-output-shaft-seal-set-speed-vw-p-7494.html
Golf TDI MkIV (A4 chassis) w/ BEW Engine (2004-2006)

But I don't know if the car I have is a bew engine since by the vin I read:
2004 Volkswagen Golf
GL - L4 - 2.0L 1984cc 121ci GAS MFI type BEV - 2 valve SOHC

I'm in the process of replacing the solenoid cable harness diagnosed by the dealer. The rpm will remain above normal because it is not shifting. a bad pressure solenoid valve #6 was replaced with no success.
Thanks for any help

There are just too many to list....
The BEV 2.0L is a gas engine, bolted (unfortunately) to the 01M.

You need to first determine if you have an ATF leak or a differential oil leak. They will both look about the same.

oh. How unfortunate.
I thought VW stopped using the 01M after ~2003. And the pictures did not look like the 01m in my car. Much different looking pan

Pictures look exactly like every other 01M I've seen... and trust me, I have seen a lot of them. You know there are two "pans" right? The valve body cover on the bottom of the transmission section, and the differential cover on the back side (towards firewall) of the diff section.

And yes, the continued to use the 01M behind the 2.slo engines through 2006, and possibly beyond in other markets. The exception was the NB 'vert, that for whatever reason got the 6sp Aisin box instead for a couple years, until the 5cyl became the standard engine in all NBs, which all got the Aisin.
