Gearbox oil questions

[metz]

I tried the search facility but couldnt quite find the answer.

Iam going to change the gear oil on my Fabia vRS today and was wondering..

Whats the oil code iam after from the stealers?

do i buy 2 litres?

what are the torque settings for the hex bolts on the box?

Do they need new seals like the sump plug or is it just a case of screwing them back in?

Hope you can help guys

find a thread by me from a few weeks ago, we figured out what the correct oil was, its about £15 a litre IIRC

the box holds 2.2 litres so you'll need 3 liters

drain and top up plugs are 12 point spline , with a tamper proof lug in the middle , so a special socket is required, there will be a torque setting for the plugs , but the Haynes manual doesn't cover the 6 speed gearbox :(

Do they need new seals like the sump plug ?

just put them back in , unless you want to change the sealing washers
