Gearbox oil change 2.0 16v petrol

Post by landy856 »

Hello

I need to refill my gearbox oil after emptying accidentally.
I am unsure where then replacement gearbox oil goes ?
Can anyone help, a picture would be perfect as a im a complete novice when it comes to engines.
Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Tony

Take your air filter box out and on top of the gearbox you'll see a white plug. This is the reverse light switch. Remove it and pour your oil into the hole.
