Anybody tackled a gearbox oil change on a 1.8t..?

Hi folks,

Could really do with a gearbox oil change for piece of mind if anything, I've got a BEX 1.8t 190 which occasionally struggles to snatch 1st and reverse.

Now most read ups that I've found talk of pumps an all sorts of crap to get the fluid in however I've just read of one experience that suggests removing the coolant tank and you can fill using a funnel and tubing?

Has anybody tackled this job using this method? Any help would be appreciated..

Many thanks

Jim

I have helped do it this way on an S3 but it needs two

Thanks Mike, I'll make sure I've got a second pair of hands when I hit it up at the weekend..

I've done it when doing the clutch, so gearbox was off

That's exactly how I did mine it was a simple job.
