(Sorry for posting this in general, was posted in technical section but got no answers) Hello all, I've Golf variant 2016, 2.0 tdi 150ps just hit 200k km, they always say manual transmission fluid is life time & it doesn't need fluid or oil change, but i wanna change so or so, what's the fluid/oil specification for this specific transmission, PGT 6 speed manual transmission.
Thanks

All manual transmissions use 80-90w gear oil. I would check with a VW dealer to see if there is a certain spec number gear oil that's necessary. Good idea to change it.

@golfdave can probably tell you exactly which one.

Not really...I've had a look at my info & I cannot find a 6 speed manual European MK7 Golf with a "PGT" gearbox code...

All info I have on the MQ200 & MQ250 codes, quantities, gearbox oil types, & how to fill procedures etc is in this post here:- (mainly post 2)

How to change the oil on a Mk7 Golf MQ200 or MQ250, 5 speed or 6 speed, manual gearbox. | GOLFMK7 - VW GTI MKVII Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVII Forum
