GearBox Oil
« on: 09 February 2007, 13:02 »
This is something that i suspect hasn't been checked for awhile and I wanna check it, how do i check the gearbox oil level? - How do i drain or top up & with what sort of oil should i top it up with.

I have a MK1 Golf with a 1.6 GTI 5 Speed Gearbox @ 103K

Any help / pictures are appreciated :)

Thnx

Where abouts can I find RedLine MT90?

I don't mind ordering it but would rather order from a reputable supplier as I cannot find any online that I have heard of before..

Or better yet are there any places that I can just go buy it from in my local city??
