Mk5 Auto Box Oil Fill

Postby Ecopod » Wed Jun 22, 2022 7:15 pm

Good evening,

Afree getting everything back together I’m not quite sure where the oil goes when refilling. There are two bolts with a screw coming out of each with a square end, these look like they can be loosened to reveal a hole to pour oil in. I’m just not sure why there is two and which one to use if any. Apologies I cannot find a diagram for an auto box anywhere.

Believe it or not you fill via the dip stick hole.
You can only check if level is correct with the gearbox hot

Then I’m about to show my ignorance (again).

There’s a dip stick!

Never even noticed it.

Thanks for quick reply - I’ll be back at it tomorrow morning and will make sure I have a better look at it all. Better dig out a tiny funnel too.
