[Vwdiesel] Transmission talk for beginners -- ( filling a 5 speed ).

Lifetime fill means the fluid is to last the life of the car.  It's a
synthetic fluid that never needs changing.

Just one more benefit of using synthetic lubricants.  }:o)

Usually the designers put the level plug in such a way that tranny can
not be over filled.

So today I shall drain and refill at level plug with 2 litres of hypoid oil.

And I shall report back here tomorrow to let everyone know if it is
possible.

No servivce station I know of will remove speedo cable to fill a tranny.

Bentley mention "LIFETIME" fill what the hell does that mean ?  EH Loren ?

Hagar.
