Please can someone remind me how much oil I need to refill my gear box, (1.9dg 1990) I think its 4.5 litres (EP8090) but cannot find an amount on the WIKI.
Many thanks.

Hello Cate,
Yes the VW instruction manual says the same as Haynes, 3.5 litres of gear oil, specification API - GL 4 SAE 80.

All sorted now thanks folks.
I found I couldn't get the drain plug key and the ratchet handle into the available space so had to sort a nuts and bolt affair, with a little help from some mates with a welder I finally managed to get the drain plug undone, not a lot of scree in there, just bits stuck on the magnet.
Full of nice new oil now, so will see how that affects the hot gear change problems.

Cate if yer gearchange is still bad-you could try £50 worth of Redline MT90 worked wonders with mine-transformed it---only lasted another 6 months tho-
