Transmission Oil Spec For Tdi

[Guest jtwonk]

Can anyone tell me what the oil spec is for a 6 speed TDi as I'm going to change this soon. What I found on the TIS CD was N052171VX00 which means diddly squat to me . In the handbook it states WSD M2C200-C but this appears to be the standard oil for all Ford manual boxes. I was wonering/ hoping that someone with a VW or Seat could tell me what their handbook quotes or likewise if some one can tell me what to use this would be well appreciated.

 

Thanks

Jonathan :huh: :huh:

I use millers xfepd in a alhambra taxi now 70k from new with no problems

it is to the correct spec for the engine and also cheaper than vw or ford oil

 

do a web search for millers oils and all will be revealed

 

ps no connection with millers oils...just a satisfied customer :)

Can't find this oil anywhere except dealers, I have tried auto factors motorist dicoubt shops halfrauds etc no one has it listed. there are places that sell the ford spec oil WSD M2C200-C but I was trying to get VW spec oil in the vane attempt to help/cure the notchy gearchange when cold.

I've tried VW & Seat dealers & they charge about

On mine, there was a sticker under the bonnet with a code on it (like 505.01, 506.01, etc.). This is a VW specficiation. Give it to your motor factors (or try GSF) and they should give you the correct oil. I use Castrol SLX on my 1.9 PD as it is a VW 506.01 spec oil.

There is a big difference between engine oil and gearbox oil. Never confuse the two :D
