Hi

Just a quickie - what gearbox oil is correct for my ibiza? Would like to do a change

Mk4 FR PD130 manual 6spd

75W-80 that meets VW spec G 052 171A1/A2

Or to make it easier - http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-981-fuc...w-80-synthetic-manual-transmission-fluid.aspx

Cheers badger (again!) just wanted to check, sometimes these oil checkers can be wrong

I believe Fuch supply VW direct and it's pretty good stuff, I might give mine a change!

Seat recommend synthetic gear oil at 75w-75, however, 75w-80 will be fine.

Shouldn't need anymore than 2.5-3 litres.

I've had a few Fuchs recommendations in the past for different cars --- never even thought too ask about how much I'd need either! Good job you're on it lol thank you!!

correct oil is called sintofluid from fuchs, or get correct one from vw dealers about same price as opie
