VR6 Gearbox oil change

Recommended Posts

I think i ought to do this.

 

I have not changed it before! my questions are -

 

which grade oil?

how much will i need?

is there some sort of funky tool required to remove the plugs?

is overfilling (by a controlled amount) a good thing?

1 - Redline MT-90 (75/90W)

2 - 2 bottles

3 - 17mm allen key

4 - impossible to overfill as it pours out of the filler hole when full.

overfilling can be done through the speedo cable hole (on older golfs anyway)

Try removing the speed sensor on the VR box though, not fun :lol:

 

You can overfill but I wouldn't as it will over pressurise the seals.

 

Halfords sell the 17mm allen key mate :lol:

......and another thing !

 

A very good tip, (found somewhere in here - acknowledgements to the originator), is to make sure you can undo the filler plug before you drain all the oil out.

 

Best wishes
