HDH Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Get 3 1-litre bottles from a VW dealer. Take out filler bolt from front upper part of gearbox , take out drainage bolt from front bottom of gearbox , drain oil into container. Refit drainage bolt , refill oil (you'll probably need a funnell and tube). Whenever oil come out filler hole its filled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clicks Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hello. Was thinking of replacing the gearbox oil on mine again. I have purchased Forte Gearbox & Diff treatment, this may sound like a silly question but do I put this in first and then fill up with oil? Thanks.

Put in the treatment, new oil and the noise is 90% gone. Will take a while for the treatment to work its magic.Clix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
