In addition... the manual 6-speed MQB transmission needs 2,3l oil, if you fill just 2l the 6th gear will be worn out really quickly. The 2l can be filled easy but the for the rest 0,3l the front axle should be lifted a bit.
Fully agree. According workshop docs gearbox A04 has to be filled in with 1.7l oil (1.9l when disassembled) when changed. However, VW A7 platform (Golf MK7, Octavia MK3, Seat xx) the gearbox was titled by 12 deg and the oil level should be above the fill in plug. In addition the oil quantity has to be 2.3l instead 1.9l. strongly recommend to use originally labeled oil G 052 527. All that according TPI issued by VW Group. I believe the above is valid for most manual gearbox variants. the most common problem is low oil level causing axel bearings to be not oiled properly when not in drive, then in start they are running very dried first few 100 meters.
Yup. 8.1 Transmission Fluid Level, Checking It is not possible to check the transmission fluid level by removing oil filler plug. Due to the angle of the engine/transmission assembly, the lower edge of the filler hole -arrow 1- is located below the oil level -arrow 2-. The Transmission Fluid Level In Transmission Can Only be Checked When the Transmission Fluid Has Been Drained Com‐ pletely and then Filled Again.

Ok so.... curious as i just bought a 2013 vw golf 2.5L with 5 sp man. I got it up to operating temp, but the drain time was slow AF. Even tried this... drain plug out. Put in a litler via fill port. Still drizzeling. There a flush fluid to run in a manual trans? Thinking theres crap in there slowing the drain. Also figure next spring I'll replace the fluid again and this time run it for an hour on the highway before draining. Would also mention... that when i pumped that liter into it with drain plug out, it back filled the fill port.... so the fill port was dripping with drain out... Took about 30 min for the fluid to get an inch below the fill line. Finally i could see some newish oil coming out about 1.5 hours or so into draining so i put the plug back in. Then got about half a liter/quart into the trans at a time. Plugging the fill port when it started dripping. Ran the car in neutral for a minute. Shut her down, removed the fill plug, to add more fluid. Did this 3 or 4 times. Then put the fill plug in. Ripped it around the streets getting it in all gears. Returned home, checked level 1 more time and its good. So.... any idea WTH is making it drain slow? Oh and old fluid wasnt terrible. Given the state of the car being fairly close to excellent i assume everything has been serviced regularly. Only 160,000km / 99,000 miles.
Is it true the 2018 abd up manual transmissions in the GTI Are not able to be serviced? That’s what the dealer told me when I asked them to change the fluid. They told me that it can’t be changed and is a lifetime fluid…
Dont use motul gear 300. It is the WRONG weight and horrible before the oil gets to temperature. Additionally, if you have an 18+ gti, the traditional fill plug is not there. You can fill the oil through the plastic 19mm bolt near the gear selector.
Motul gear 300 so to thick and gearbox changing is horrable... best is to use mix of Red Line 2 bootles MT-LV 70W/75W GL-4 Gear Oil + 1 bottle LightWeight ShockProof
Bonjour désolé je ne parle pas anglais est-ce que vous pouvez me dire si c'est la même façon de faire pour les boîtes à vitesse manuelle sur TDI . Merci beaucoup
I tried changing gear oil on my seat leon manual. I know it needs 2.1L, but the drained oil was only about 1l. I refilled around half a liter and it started dripping. I kept trying to refill and it kept dripping. Now im uncertain about the oil level. Please help.
This guy makes me feel confident in working on my car...if this guy can do it. Ha ha. Keep em coming.
Good job! Excellent maintenance...
ECS Tuning. Come for the content, stay for the commentary. ✌️
It's all so easy. All you gotta have is a 2-post car lift, a torque wrench, a fancy giant syringe, and a telescoping oil funnel on a fancy drum.
😆
Really informative, thank you very much for posting the video.

Yup.
8.1 Transmission Fluid Level, Checking
It is not possible to check the transmission fluid level by removing
oil filler plug.
Due to the angle of the engine/transmission assembly, the lower
edge of the filler hole -arrow 1- is located below the oil level
-arrow 2-.
The Transmission Fluid Level In Transmission Can Only be
Checked When the Transmission Fluid Has Been Drained Com‐
pletely and then Filled Again. Refer to
⇒ “8.2 Transmission Fluid, Draining and Filling”, page 125
How do I lift it? Both of them or which side
Torque VAG manual is 35N.m
Thank you amazing job 👍👍👍
Very useful video
Is it also suitable for Audi A3 8v 1,8 gen 3 (cjsa)?
Thank you
Please make same video for VW tiguan 2012 ...
Automatic transmission.
Thanks
I used this video to tell my kid about the birds and the bees
no transmission filter on mk7 golf R too?
Thank you very much! It is a great video,
Thanks mate, much appreciated
How many mile intervals? Under street use

Are you sure your gearbox is not the angled gear box. Not level gearbox.
I needs to get a new clutch kit & service my 02J 5spd.
How often does the trans fluid get changed on the mk6 gli?
Are the ecs magnetic drain plugs re usable?
Yes they are! All you would need to do is replace the washer. We have a ton of different drain plug options which can be found here bit.ly/40wauge
@@ecstuningcouldn’t find the ones for the transmission m22x1.5
Is it true the 2018 abd up manual transmissions in the GTI Are not able to be serviced? That’s what the dealer told me when I asked them to change the fluid. They told me that it can’t be changed and is a lifetime fluid…
There is nothing such as lifetime.... The lifetime is ambiguous, livetime of what, of you, the engine, gearbox?
Change it
Hi, can you make a video of service for bmw dual clutch trasmission? I have a 7speed 135i n55. Nice video !!👍🏼
Thanks for the suggestion. We will look into it!
I assume this is the same for audi b8.5 s5/s4
hi.whats number oem for the plug i want to change it.tanks
Shouldn't you prime the motor?
Mis Zach in this kind of video he was perfect for ECS i wonder why don't see him anymore
Don Ismael he joined Donut Media
Will you do a dsg service vid?
Yep! Its in the works!
23nm yes
Whether it is necessary to apply grease to the caliper guides on vw mk4(stock breakes)?
When should this service happen, how many miles?
I recommend 60k. VW claims thisbas a lifetime fluid, which is ironically around when the warranty period is up. Thanks for watching!
I heard it's recomended every 125k miles (200k km )/ For manual transmission vehicles.

Ciao, ho un golf 7 2.o tdi hanno 2017 non riesco a vedere il tappo di riempimento in alto ma solo il tappo di scolo. strano!!
Now, how about the differential?
We'll put that on the to do list! Thanks for your input!
Is it also suitable for mk7.5 Gti's ?
Yes.
Looks like they don’t have a kit for 2015 2.slow Jetta:(
Bonjour désolé je ne parle pas anglais est-ce que vous pouvez me dire si c'est la même façon de faire pour les boîtes à vitesse manuelle sur TDI .

Happy 4/20 everyone lol
ECS. Can you do a DIY on MQB automatic transmission fluid
Working on it!
Yo bucko, here's the scoop
I tried changing gear oil on my seat leon manual.
I know it needs 2.1L, but the drained oil was only about 1l. I refilled around half a liter and it started dripping. I kept trying to refill and it kept dripping. Now im uncertain about the oil level.
Please help.
You sure you didn’t drain and fill the vaq diff, that holds about a litre
The gear box has 2 bolts. Unscrew the lower one and drain the oil then fill up new oil.
