Is a transmission fluid change a DIY job?

[battmiceter]

Does anyone have any advice?

I'm hoping to save a few quid by doing it myself...

Which box?

[battmiceter]

Sorry.... Manual gear box, 2.0 TDI, 58 plate

It's got gear oil for life so I'd change it. Pretty easy job

Is it a case of emptying from a bottom plug and filling to a side plug like a lot of gear boxes?

i think the filler plug will need a special security torx bit but other than that yes, drain and refil.

Nice one!

Drain the oil when it's warm. A giant syringe can be useful for refilling gear oil
