To replace the gearbox oil in a Volkswagen Tiguan, lift the vehicle to access the components underneath the engine bay. Locate the gearbox oil drain plug. Loosen this plug to collect all the used oil in a suitably positioned container until it has completely drained.

At this point, insert the necessary amount of oil through the same breather, using a pump to push the oil into the gearbox.
