Hi. I can see this topic has done the rounds quite a bit but wondered if there was any definitive answer as to the correct gearbox oil for my 1.3.
Yes, the Haynes manual says SAE 80EP but my driver's handbook is all over the place! It's a 2nd edition handbook (AKM 6138) and says on page 43 use engine oil 10W/40 but then recommends EP 80 on page 44. If that wasn't enough the drivers information wallet contains two amendment pages for the handbook, one (AKM 6269) saying use EP80 and the other (AKM 6138/1) saying EP80 for top up and EP75 with anglamol for a refill!
I've found "VW" on a bracket so reckon it's a VW box.
Any advice welcome!
Thanks
