Hey
Im running low on gearbox oil, Have a leak in the usual VW place!!!

Anyone know where I top it up?

I heard you have to remove the reverse light switch and top it up from in there? am I being wound up?!

Apparently its not that small cap near the gearbox as thatd mean pouring oil straight onto the clutch!

can anyone help?

Someone is taking the p*** out of u pal, dont pour it in the top otherwise you will need a new clutch. U need to get under the car its better on a ramp coz the car needs to be level. There will be a bolt in the side of the box and i cant remember if its an allen key or a square shaped tool needed to take the plug out.

Once its out u need to squirt the oil in and when it starts to pour out its at the correct level so quickly put the plug back in.

Hope that helps

Or you could top it up through the ash tray
