Clairey Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I know this topic can get dragged around back and forth, but I still can't find exactly what I'm looking for. I have a slight issue with my gearbox at the moment, I have a slight leak which I can see from my passenger wheel (looking from) could it be a gasket? How many gaskets do the gearbox have? Is it a relatively an easy job..? Any help appreciated I'm kinda stuck!!Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 They don't have any gaskets, VW use a sealant AMV 188 200 03 which retails at a whopping £62.35 inc vat for 100g! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Probably the end plate that is leaking. Mine had the same problem. Took my gearbox guy a couple of goes to get it to seal, even using the proper VW sealant which he showed to me. It's a good opportunity to get the oil in there replaced too.

Clairey Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Really? I was hoping it would be that to be honest! I changed the gear box oil about 2 years ago and the oil is coming out clear, which I believe is a good sign...? Thanks for your help!

lupogtiboy Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Nope, pretty much all VW boxes are sealed like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Yes mine came out clear too as it had been changed not long before too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
