Don't have the relevent Skoda manual for your car but Mr. Haynes quotes 1.9l for a 5-speed manual box.

Thanks, I have a used box coming to replace the current item however it is being sent drained so need to refill it.

Did a quick Google[tm] on "GQQ gearbox oil" and the links below came up with some commentary about oils, viscosity and how to ensure the box has been fully drained:

Item 2A by the looks of it: gearbox, complete; 6-speed manual transmission - Octavia(OCT) [EUROPA 2004 year] (7zap.com) (ignore the misleading page title)

@Breezy_Pete

 

I did check 7zap.com with the correct details and item 2A is the same as in your link and the Bay lists this:

Not too pricey then. 

 

Could probably get genuine for only a couple of quid a litre more, judging by this, but probably just repackaged same stuff: Volkswagen / Audi / Skoda Transmission Fluid G070726A2 - LLLParts

 

vwmotorparts do some very good prices on genuine parts and oils

Just bought some Fuchs 507 oil for a steal.

That oil isn't the spec for my box.

 

I ordered the stuff I mentioned earlier.

Thanks for your input.

Yes it is. Also on this site

Although your link lists my box, as far as I have seen the GQQ box requires G070726A2 oil.
