Hi all

 

Was wanting to change the oil in the gearbox of my CR170, but it seems there are two types of oil, and to know which one, I need to look for some code stamped on the box, to see if it's <29 05 01 or >30 05 01. Guess it's some sort of serial number.

 

 

Does anyone know roughly where to look for such a code ?

Could it be on the paper build label in the boot?
On the body of car on left side under the lift up floor.

I doubt it, but I'll have a look.

 

It was Skoda technical who emailed a response to my enquiry and told me I needed to check the code on the gearbox housing. 

 

Cheers

If I knew what the gearbox type was, I could do a google image search and see if I can see any photos of boxes to see where the number is.

Anyone know what type it is ?

You could ask Opie Oils, who have a wealth of experience and should be able to advise.

I've just looked on mine and it has transmission type as a 3 letter code on that sticker.

I think I've now answered my question, see this post:
