Polo 9N1 Sport 1.4 2003 Manual Gearbox oil change

Post by sooty133 »

I am wanting to change the gearbox oil on my daughters polo. I think I have found the drain plug (hexagonal key at the bottom of the gearbox) but I am unable to find the fill plug.
Can anyone give me a clue about where it is.
Thanks

Have a look at the side of the box, round about where the drive shafts go in, I think that it is on the LHS, ie N/S - it should be half way or so up as it is also the level plug.

Thanks. Got it. It is at the other side of the casing to the drain plug just higher up. It is awkward to get to and very tight. Will have to get the garage to do this job.

That sounds about right, it needs to be lifted up while still level to reach it - I am lucky enough to have four wooden ramps, and Jackpoint jack stands (I'm boasting now!).
