« on: September 10, 2013, 01:52:43 am »
Hello,

I THINK it is the same as the GT TDi 170 gear box you will need 3x G052171A2 which will set you back about £50. The job takes about 20 minutes and is pretty painless.

My suggestion would be to ensure you can undo the filler on the side of front of the gearbox before undoing the drain plug on the bottom.

Hi Dan,

No filter on the manual 6 speed transmission  :smiley:

Dead simple to do
1 - Remove the under tray, if you don't have one skip to step 2!
2 - Undo the Gearbox filler plug located at top/front face
3 - Place a container under the bottom drain plug, undo it and let the old fluid drain out. Expect about 2l
4 - wait about 5 minutes for the last of the fluid to drain out, wipe any metal filings off the drain plug, refit and tighten. Can't remember the torque but i did it up hand tight then 1/4 turn.
5 - Refill the gearbox with 2lt of fluid until it starts running out the fill plug. I used a funnel and length of silicon tubing.
6 - Take it for a test drive and check for leaks after a mile or when safe to do so
7 - Refit under tray
8 - Have a coffee :)

You will need (sorry for the photo, it was taken in in bright sunlight with an iphone and i had to doctor the contrast)

I've seen one of these six speeds with a anti tamper filling plug so check for that :happy2:
