6 Speed Manual Gearbox Oil Grade for GTi Mk6

[am1w]

Tried to find out what grade this is from my VW Parts Department. They could not help as it's not even shown on the container. All they could tell me is that it costs £15.12 per litre inc VAT and 2.3 litres is required.
Anybody know what this oil grade is, please?
Thanks.

Well the ones listed with a 2.3ltr capacity are

G 052 512 A2 at £7.58 per ltr.
G 052 171 A2 at £20.15 per ltr.

Are you changing the gear box oil then

How come you need Gbox oil already?

I am putting some Boron Motor Silk into the gearbox on Saturday. They might have to do a complete gear box oil change to put 230 ml of this in. Depends.
Just making Wolgang as smooth as possible before a re-map (?) 
I'll just use the supplied oil by VW which is fully synthetic.

PS: Just found out from the Mk5 forum it is 75w-90.

No one for the gearbox. Just me being a fiddler and being totally anal!
However, for the engine oil, I used Motul Specific (VAG) 5W30 504 00 which was recommended by 'Fuel Tech Experts'.

PS: The re-map is not for certain. Car is fast enough for the time being.
