gearbo oil change???

[jennings]

how often does the gearbox oil need to be changed, i havnt done mine ever and have done a lot of miles should i do this???

I *think* the service book says it's part of the 60,000 mile service. How many miles are on the car, what model car is it?

There is no oil change interval set for the gearbox, only check-and-top-up every 20K miles. Personally, I'd think of doing it at or before 100K.

Would have been changed if its ever had a clutch? change mine every 30k as it doesnt cost a lot to do,cant believe they are never specified at a service my brother has Civic type R and they have service intervals for it

I agree.

Im sure the cupra R book says change the gearbox oil every 40k miles and check every 20k thats what i do.

i dont know any vw, audi, skoda or SEAT with manual gearbox that has an interval for change gearbox oil. sorry to say that, and yes its not a bad ideer to change it anyway.

Thanks for that Allan, I was going to ask the same question as t32er.
I presume the pd150 gearbox shares the same casing if not exactly the same box ?

 

[t32er]

i think its the same box?!?!?

the 6speed gearbox on a leon cupra or leon cupra r have a name: "02M" same gearbox, and yes its the same on the pd, just other gear ratio and so on.

if you wondering, normal all manuel gearbox after the year 1988 (vw/seat) you just top oil til its runs out the fill hole, if its a "wet" gearbox (wet like not dry).
