I've tried searching, is TPS going to be the best place to get oil for the LCR? And also how much will 3 litres cost?
Whats this modified gear oil? i think its worth me trying it see if it will save me changing my gearbox lol,

What gearbox code do you have? I know its an 02M, but is it an ERR, FML, FZQ? See Muttley's post on the previous page regarding which boxes are meant to have the "high performance" fluid installed. It also warns of mixing the normal and high performance stuff, not a good idea...
I stuck with G052 171 A2 last time I did a fluid swap, my gearbox is old enough to be on the normal fluid lol
Mines the 6 speed FML i think :S how can i be certain as my engine has been changed from aug to auq, is there a area on the box where it is specified? like the engine code is on the head?
Thanks

Gearbox code is cast into the bottom of the box, you can see it by removing the undertray and looking at it from the front. Although if you've lowered the car you'll have to jack it up first lol
Mines all standard at the moment mate and doesnt have an undertray on lol, so seeing it shouldnt be a prob ill get me torch and have a gander,

theres a vw part number stamped cast on the bottom of the box but i cant find a 3 letter code at the front of the box, located a cheeky oil leak down back of engine like,

Just stuck that part number into Google, it's coming back with a lot of references to a TDi box, a DRW??
Not unless you ask for it or do it yourself. It will need the clutch slave cylinder to be bled though. The VAG boxes can be removed without having to drain out the oil first.
I've no idea mate alls i no is its on my engine and my engine aint same it was suplied with from factory so to hear its got a different box dont surprise me lol, whoever changed em did a canny job just a few niggles to sort. So what ya reckon give part number to seat and ask em for gearbox oil? lol
Its got the hex style drain plug on it, so at least that aint goin to be a pain.

There would be another 3 letters for the code down there, might be easier to see it with daylight helping. There was a sticker with the code on top of the box but most of these have come off over the years lol.
I'd reckon on the normal oil being okay in your box, if the whole engine and box were swapped at the same time to an AUQ lump

Well it was a stamp with these numbers ww05 02m301107d az91hp. could see them and audi and vw logos as clear as day, and all along the front of the box was no stamps at all, these were on the bottom of the box,

I'm changing mine with G 052 512 A2m oil.
All of the tech's here at the VW dealership have said it will be fine and should help with any notchy feeling through the 'box.

Right that is definitely an FML coded box
OE fluid G052 171 A2 will be fine in there.
