2.2l for 02A and 2l for 020 from memory. I always buy 3l to be safe and also for topping up/future changes.

yeah do the guide, and you drain all the old stuff out, and fill it with the new stuff and wait for it to start trickling out, you should have enough when it stops seeping out, hope you get what i mean

you wont need more than 2L as you will never get all the old out

and you should never need to top up :-)


Iv just done the oil on the 6 speed box thats going in my dads MK4 (AUQ engine and gearbox conversion I'm doing)  its a bigger box than a 5 speed, drained it, exactly 2L came out.. and Exactly 2L went back in

on my 5 Speed box on the Mk3, i couldn't even get 2L in
