VW GOLF Manual Gearbox OIL CHANGE - 5 STEPS DIY
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I will be replacing the gearbox oil on a MK7 VW Golf as a preventative maintenance measure. The oil is supposed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, however once you see how dirty the oil is you may decide to change it. Its quick easy and much cheaper than replacing a faulty gearbox.

Really well documented, thank you for providing torque specs, fill specs, everything. Will make doing this job on my own MK7 much easier.
Again - thanks for the clear and concise instructions. About to do this on my Touran 2.0 TDi with the 02Q six speed.
Another great VW golf video. Your service video helped me tremendously. I’m sitting at 86K miles on my golf the now. I’ll make a point of changing the gearbox oil at the weekend.
Thanks mate! Very clear, informative and straight to the point video.
Torque spec, Turn it until you hear it crack, back it off half a turn, give the job to the apprentice.
Genuinely really helpful, thanks 👍

Hey, thank you very much as usual for your very informative and beneficial videos! Have you ever replaced your water pump yet during your ownership? If yes, when do they usually need replacing (in terms of mileage or age etc.)?

Hey, thanks for watching. I tend to get the cambelt and water pump done at the same time. Every 60,000 miles or 4 years whichever comes soonest. That’s the Haynes manual recommendation. Some would argue that this is OTT but I’d say better safe than sorry 😊
Thank you! Going to try and do this on my B7 TDI blue motion 2013 Passat... no idea what oil it takes though!

Thank you! I’d imagine it’s a different oil in the diff. It will be worth getting a Haynes manual or join a Facebook group for the R32 :)

It’s a grey area with Volkswagen as to which oil is recommended. I would suggest getting a Haynes manual for your model or join a Facebook forum and ask the question there. It’s more than likely the 75w like I used in the video.
Great video have you change coolent control valve before

Hi. I have a VW Golf 1.2 petrol Bluemotion, 2013. Can you give me the spec for the gear box oil I need for my car? Thank you

Hi, most use the 75w gear oil but worth checking the manual to make sure.
Did the car being on an angle effect to draining and refilling, or is it best for the car to be level?

Best done on a level ground definitely but if you follow the exact capacity for the gearbox it doesn’t make a difference :)
Good video turner, We'd love to invite you to review our portable air pump. We have emailed you for an inquiry.
No filter needed?
