Audi A4 gear box oil?

It's not meant to be refilled; it lasts a lifetime. It has a filling cap however but chances are low that the level is the culprit. When do you hear the sound?

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. That's funny. When the lubricant finally breaks down or loads up with wear metals and the tranny dies, that's the end of its lifetime. Bingo - "lifetime fluid."

They're talking about the tranny's lifetime, not your's.

Anyone who wishes to extend the "lifetime" would be well advised to change the transmission fluid at no more than 100K mile intervals.

I hear it when i am accelerating a little. When i am releasing the clutch the sound disapeares...

So where on the engine can i find the tap where i can fill oil for the gear box? Is it at the front part of the engine?

I wasn't clear enough. Manual gearboxes oils -I'm European- aren't meant to be refilled nor changed.

Funny huh?

Ronald

Sounds like a bad release bearing.

The release bearing would making a clattering when the clutch is released, sounds like your problem is not the Release bearing.

It will be to me when your tranny meets it's "lifetime" due to lack of proper fluid changes.

I normally have the oil changed every 2 years.

That is certainly clear enough. Just because you can't figure out where and how, to drain and refill, you assume it shouldn't be done. Now, read no further, and do go away.

As to the question, Redline MTL-90 is the same viscosity as factory fill, but some have reported better shifting using a blend of MTL and MTL-90. Takes about 2.3 - 2.5 litres. I would tend to agree, as my box was a little more reluctant, when cold, with MTL-90.

Drain is a triple-square with security notch on some, others are 17mm internal hex, fill is 17mm internal hex.

I've just had my manual tranny valvoline replaced in the hope changes would be smoothed. I did not notice any difference whatsoever. My advice, save your bucks for something else.
