Hello everyone,
I noticed some oil that appears to be coming from the VW stamp with two bolts below the tranny. There is a picture of what I am referring to in this thread:http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q_how_to/a4/mantrans_oilservice.htm
Has anyone had this happen before? Is there a gasket behind that plate after you take the bolts off?
I think it must be gear oil. So I think the correct procedure is:
1. Remove gear oil fill plug
2. Remove drain plug and drain gear oil
3. Remove two bolts holding VW stamped plate
4. Replace gasket (is there one in there? Part #?)
5. Replace drain plug (20-23 ft lbs)
6. Replace two bolts and VW stamped plate (tourque?)
7. Fill with MTL (have been running this for at least 3 years now and like it)
8. Replace gear oil fill plug (20-23 ft lbs)
As always, your assistance is greatly appreciated!
