Hi all

I have Mk1 SLX TDi (110) on an X reg. I've searched the forums and found useful threads such as the one showing pictures of non-standard tools etc.

So, to change the gear oil on my Octi, what specific tools will i need? I've crawled under and the drain plug looks like it might be double-torx? I've seen one on the draper website. Not sure what the re-fill plug requires!

Anyone any idea.

on the vrs all I needed was a 17mm hex socket, torque wrench, copper slip and 2 litres of oil. Maybe some plusgas if the plugs are really corroded to help remove them and thats it

Same on my 2001 TDi. I welded a nut and bolt together and used that on the plugs on the gearbox. Suggest you check you can undo the top (filler) hole before taking out the drainage bolt....

I believe the capacity is just over 2 litres, but unlikely all the fluid will drain out. I used a flexi thin hose to pour the new gearbox oil though into the box.
