Does anyone know how to go about this?

Looking at a 2004 elegance with 155k on the clock and being an auto I figure the box will need doing, I know these boxes are supposed to be sealed and good for life, but in my experience they can always benefit from new oil.

So a few questions.

How is it done?

What sort of oil is needed?

I'll check the oil when I check the car, but need to know what colour it should be, Normally on auto's that I've owned it's a reddish colour, and if it's too dark or smells burnt then the oil needs doing ASAP. Can I assume the same is true of the Superb?

You need the correct gear oil from Skoda, I'd also change the filter which means you need a new pan gasket.

Also you need filling equipment as it gets filled through the drain hole and diagnostic equipment to read the gearbox oil temp to set the level correctly.

You're welcome
