I have change the gearbox oil on every MK5 we have owned as this is by far the worse i have seen or in fact smelt. On the plus side there is virtually nothing in the way of metal filings :)

Reverse in at an angle, it'd be a crime to higher your car, it looks perfect!

Lucky you checked and noticed. Last thing you want is fuel leaking in a hot engine bag  :scared:
Yep...it was almost unnoticeable. There was only a small bit of moisture appearing on the brass fitting before evaporating, but it was at the speed of a dripping faucet. Drip drip drip. Happy to have caught it.  :happy2:

I've always used VW oil, it's not cheap at circa £15 a litre (you need 3 bottles as capacity is 2.5l)
I'll dig out the invoice later and find the part number :)

Air filter, plugs, leads, oil & filter on the Mk2.5 today.

Rounded the caliper bolt the other day so will do the discs & pads when I get a new bolt.
