Fantastic video as usual. Some of the best VW instructional videos around....very well edited. Can't wait to see brakes & timing belt

Thank you for this video! Today I changed transmission fluid on my VW GOLF 2.0 TDI 103 kW (2011). I used this video as reference!

Very good video, it’s important to have it level when filling

Awesome video! detailed and you also get right to the point, thank you!

great video,also those wood ramps are brill,im gonna have a go and make some,just what i need as i dont like the metal welded ramps those look way more solid

Loved also the BMW E30 shirt. Nice.

Well done! Thanks for the video

wow genuine and nice garage

Cool video

Swapping all the brake pads on my mk6 GTI soon. This will be a perfect maintenance to do along side that while all 4 corners are in the air. The VW fluid is so expensive though. Considering using redline gl4 75w90

Great vid thanks

Nice turbo whistle 😁

If you decide to go with aftermarket fluid use a thin MTL. Thinking I was being a hero I used Redline MTL and it wiped out the synchros in the 02Q transaxle. The fluid these transaxle like is roughly 7cp @ 100 degrees C. Royal Purple MTL is a good aftermarket alternative.

EXCELLENT video! 👍💪👏 Very clear, easy to follow and informative. I aim to do this myself on my car. Just wondering how big (diameter) tube that fits into that fill hole? Flows easiest with maximum size I think.

Hey i saw another technique to fill up oil in the transmission i was wondering if u can approve it, u take off the air box in the hood and disconnect and remove the rear light switch, then u can fill your oil in the tube where the rear light switch is supposed to be

Very nice video....can you tell me if 75w is correct for vw golf mk vii 1.6 tdi 2015?

Thanks for the DIY, this is crazy simple! I just bought my TDI and am loving it so far. Did you use the rawtech kit to delete the emissions? I'm currently planning on deleting it as well as swapping in the H170C turbo.

Tnx buddy

Very helpful video for us mk6 owners, I plan on doing this to my golf tdi soon. Do you think it is imperative to have the car on jack stand in the rear? I was kinda hoping I could just pull it up on my race ramps to do this like a regular oil change. Also, where did you get the pump to put the fluid in?

on my mk5 1.6 youre supposed to put the car in to gear for two minutes, then top up the remainder. read that in the oem manual.

Nice presentation that’s the same as mine caddy 2008 2.0 tdi 6 speed will be doing imminently. I guess I’ll just look up the same oil.

Professionnal! What was the mileage when you changed the gearbox fluid?

Why are people saying you need diagnostic software to determine the correct temp of the fluid while shifting it through the gears? Do you have to do that?

Hi, I am new owner of 15 Passat 6MT, what is the change interval for transmission fluid? Great video btw

How bad is the diesel exhaust smell with the delete? I was considering doing one on my 2011 TDI. I heard that it wafts into the car when you're idling at a stoplight.

Very helpful👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 is the GTI’s transmission same as on TDI’s? Same capacity?

Great video! What brand is that wicked motorcycle carrier you have on the rear?

Hi. How can i tell if my mk6 1.6 tdi trans fluid needs to be changed?

Hi- what made you want to change the transmission fluid? Is it time or mileage? I have a low mileage (less than 20k) VW that is five years old, would that need changing?

I have a 2013 Golf MK6 TDI also and getting ready to change the fluid. With no filter in a manual transmission I've ordered a magnetic drain plug ( 22mm Gold Plug Magnetic Drain Plug ) From what I can see from your video there is a flange on the drain bolt and the Gold Plug also has a flange which is similar but it does have a aluminum crush washer. Should work as a good upgrade. What do you think?

I want to make an exchange of automatic to manual exchange on the jetta 2.5, which exchange serves on it?

great videos man ! I am thinking of buying one just like yours. how reliable are these cars ? how many miles you put on yours and what kind of problems did you have and how you prevent them ? Thank you !!

Thanks. When do you think you'll do a video on changing the brakes on the TDI?

Hi there! Did you install a Trailer Brake Controller on your golf before towing the trailer? It is Mandatory here in Canada!

hi, another question, Is there a difference in quality of models made in Mexico or Germany ? I think your car was made in German, if I'm not mistaken! I do like the sportwagen, but they are made in Mexico. Thanks again.

On some VW models the transmissions are angled so the fill plug is not the level. To ensure correct filling you need to know how much oil the transmission should hold then measure the oil that comes out to ensure it has completely emptied correctly. Then replace the correct amount of oil, this may require you jacking up one side of the vehicle to get the fill hole higher. You can see how much oil comes out when he cracked the fill plug that the level was higher then he fills it too.

Is it the same on a 2006 VW Golf V 1.4 TSI 6-speed?

Is it hard to do this without the pump you used ? Could it be done by hand ? Filling it

Hey Boss, any chance you'll be doing a coolant flush or brake fluid change videos in the future?

How often do you have to change the transmission oil?

What viscosity does that transmission oil have? 75W? Or is it an interval, like 75W-90?

great video mate , do you know what the capacity is for the 2010 1.6 tdi 5 speed ?

On my TDI 1.6, I read that the quantity of transmission fluid is 1.8-2.0 litres. What gearbox do you have? 0A4?

Would this be the same on the 1.4 tsi mk 6 it's a manual just wondering if there are any differences

Is it the same procedure for mk5 aswell?

My car has just over 220,000 KM on it, would it still be okay to change out the fluid you think in the transmission?

Hi, Thanks and how many miles/km on the fluid before the change?

My 1.4 TSI mk6 has arround 250000 km and i never changed gearbox oil…they actually say that manual gearbox doesnt need oil change, i think this is not true but since my car has many kms i wont change anything now since problems can occur

When will it change?every 2 year?or 60000 km per?

Did you notice a difference after the oil change?

3:35, There is no crush washer? That's very strange. VW Manual Transmission Fluid Drain and Fill plugs look similar to Toyota Manual Transmission Plugs and I wouldn't be surprised if the thread size is the same or similar. I will check the size and if is the same as Toyota, I will use the Toyota aluminium crush washer and torque it to 29 Foot-Pounds. VW Golf 2015 owner's manual doesn't give any information or specification about Manual Transmission Fluid. I found that information on VW Golf-2015 FLUID CAPACITY CHART 8/21/2014| National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Web Site. VW OEM Fluid is extremely expensive and I found RAVENOL MTF-3 SAE 75W for less money.

Do u have to pump it? Can u not just pour the bottles into it?

No filter?

is this 5 spd manual?

Add the old to your fuel tank!

Don't fill it through the fill hole. Measure the amount out. Calculate how much goes in. Fill it through the reverse light switch.

The oil looks dirty

This is definitely the easiest thing to service on these cars. Everything else is a massive pain. Lol

Thanks for the video though gear oil doesn't have to be changed unless there is a problem with the gear box.. It meant to last life time... This whole thing of changing gear oil is a money making scam
