[Vwdiesel] Transmission -- 5 speed (oilchange)

[Shawn Wright]

Interesting... which revision Bentley is this? Mine says to fill using the filler
plug on the side. (which I've never done. I've always used the cable hole).
On the 85-88 models, the filler plug is 7mm lower, requiring one to remove
the cable for the final 0.5liter anyway...
