To change the gearbox oil on the Volkswagen Golf 4, first loosen the bolts securing the plastic cover on the underside of the engine. Next, position a container under the drain plug to collect the used oil; once all the oil has drained out, you can screw the drain plug back in. The refill should be done through the same hole, inserting a tube inside and pouring the oil through a funnel.

Once the refill is complete, you can close the hole by reinserting the plug.
