Gearbox leaking oil
Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2023 11:32 am
Hi all, hope you are well.
I gave my car in for a service the other day, managed to get underneath to have a look around and spotted a leak on the gearbox.
The leak seems to be coming from the VW logo badge which is bolted at the bottom of the gearbox, my garage hadn't seen that before. I can't find a picture with the 9n's gearbox but below is an example of the 6Rs.
I've been trying to see if anyone else has experienced and what they did to rectify it.
Not sure if it got a crack underneath or its a hole with a seal in the badge. I know that the drain plug is separate and its the allen bolt. I'm just thinking to drain the box, remove the badge, reseal (with high temp silicone if rubber is not available), bolt back up and fill the box.
I have a 1.4tdi with AMF engine, not sure on the gearbox code but reading around the A2's have a GPK EWQ or an EEA code. Cant seem to find much on the net about it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
