T2 MSW Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Changed the gearbox oil today and wow what a difference. Following my previous list of issues I never truely believed that the oil would make any difference! I glad to say I was wrong and the lumpy changes in almost every gear are now gone, nice smooth changes! Very Impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Nice one, find it easy? Have you had that issue on the TC housing looked at yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Yep, opted for the easy/expensive option. Drained the Sump, measured and filled it. Drove the car for a but in all gears and repeated the process till I had gone through 12 Litres of oil. At the end the stuff coming out was the same colour as what I was putting in so I recon I have got most of the old stuff out. TC damage is beeing looked at on 27th when I get the geo done at TDI north. Does not appear to be any damage to the TC so its just being welded up!
