I need some help!
Whilst in my sons golf the other day, i heard what i thought was a knackered wheel bearing, rumbling sound. Couldn't tell weather it was front or back but it was passenger side. He has gone on holiday, so i got it in the work shop and jacked the passenger side up, and spun the wheels. Both didn't seem noisy. As we replaced the rears a few months ago, i decided to replace the front one to rule it out. Whilst on the stands, i wanted to check the gearbox oil, as there is a slim chance its that? Every where i googled this, it talks about a drain plug at the bottom and a refill plug just above and to the right, on the side. I don't have the refill plug. i have the drain plug but cant see any plug on the side anywhere. And the gear box has recently been Gunk cleaned, so i haven't missed it. I must have a different gearbox? This is definitely the original box as it was a 2 owner barn find with £70k miles on clock. Any body got any idea what box is in it, how i check the oil and how i refill it?
Thanks
Hi,
What engine/box do you have?
9 times out of 10, you'll have a plug located here:

Hope this helps.
No i dont have that gear box. The green end cap as shown on your photo, mine is rectangular, black and has VW on it.
If its the same box as the mk2 polo the filler plug is above and to the rear of the LHS drive shaft
Any body else help with this? i dont have the filler plug where its being described above, so i must have a different gearbox?
I think my box is a small block 5 speed, 085.
