Gearbox low on fluid..?

[s1l3nc3r]

Alright.

Ive developed a slight whine from my box only in 1st and 2nd so im thinking its prob getting low on fluid

I just need a couple of things confirmed because my search has had nothing 100% come up.

1: I need 2.8 liters of fluid.?

2: Think it was Redline MT-90 that it said was the best to use.?

3: Do i need any special tools or anything to complete the job or is it straight forward empty and refill.?

Anything else anyone can think of that would be helpfull aswell.

Cheers.

i know on skodas so id say its the same on seats that the filling up hole and drain hole are two different bungs which are a special tool,when i was in the trade i made the tool by getting a wheel wrench and chopping a 17mm wheel bolts thread off and welded the end where the thread would have been into the socket part of the wrench leaving you with a wrench that has a bolt sticking out.

then i was always told to fill the gearbox up at the filling hole untill it spilt out as the bung is on the side of the box.
hopefully all of what i said makes sence and is the same for the seat ibiza if not somone will correct me.

Ok mate cheers for that.

Ive read that its a hex key and also an allen key aswell

Just going to have to get under and have a look when i get the chance.

its definitely an allen key not sure what size but its big yes there is a drain hole on the bottom and a filling hole on the side and like cupra,al said you fill it up till it trickles out the filler hole both bungs are the allen key! easy job VW do a new gear box oil which will quieten things down abit worked a treat on mine? hope this helps

 

[cupra.al]

that confirms the 17mm wheel nut will work i only made the tool to save buying it.
