[diddles]

Quick question what grade oil used in lcr gearbox. I used Fuchs titan sintofluid 75/80. Should I of used 75/90?
Thanks

I'd go genuine VAG oil only tbh. Heard of too many horror stories with using other oils.

Yeh, I think I'm going to drain out the Fuchs stuff and whack in some genuine oil.

this is indeed true, dont try any other oil, ive used redline mt, royal purple the lot been there done it, genuine vag box oil is the best youll get, the rest will leave your box as notchy as hookers bed post...

Nice one, I'll ditch this oil and fill up with some vag stuff and give it a oil change with Mobil 1 esp next month.

Just an off topic question, how do you get your signature pic so clear. When I resize mine to be under 19.5kb it comes out really unclear?

Horror stories?

Ive just put Titan gear oil in 75/90 semi synthetic and an additive by BG in america and it has never felt any better! Smoothest it has ever been and gear changes feel so much nicer!
