Part: Transmission fluid

In today's tutorial, you will see the instructions that will allow you to change the transmission oil on the sixth series Volkswagen Golf in simple steps. First, lift the vehicle and start by unscrewing the oil drain bolt using a socket spanner; let it drain into a container for about ten minutes. At this point, unscrew the fill bolt from underneath the vehicle; pour the new transmission oil using a tube and funnel: if the oil spills out of the fill hole, it means you have reached the maximum level!
