Skoda Fabia 1.4 mpi 68km 2002 - Problem - Fabia I oil change in the gearbox

I am asking you for help.


Today I decided to replace the transmission oil in my Fabi I 1.4 mpi / 68 km. After entering the channel it turned out that there is no oil drain plug in the gearbox ... there is only an inflow. I did some searching on the net and I found info that vw gebels decided that there is no need for a trigger in these cases up to 1.4 mpi (in other Fabia I models there are ), because the oil is lifelong I am surprised that in the Felicia 1.3 mpi the gearbox has an oil drain, and from what I know in both engines the gearbox is structurally the same.



Maybe some of you have already exchanged oil in this box? Or maybe he has an idea how to do it? Can it drain the oil through the reverse gear sensor? In the attachment I am sending photos, on which I marked the filler cap (blue), the place of the oil drain plug in Felicja 1.3 and which in fact in 1.4 mpi there is no (empty) (pink), reverse sensor (green), lid hole to the unknown (red).

If they do not want change, why change? You can always take out the chest and pour it out

why change the oil in the engine? why do you want to do something with the car?

you are very brilliant

I care about what I exchange, it works and it just consumes

The oil in the engine is recommended to change and here the manufacturer, you write yourself, does not provide replacement so what do you want to change?

he just wants to change it Nobody will convince me that after 16 years and over 185 thousand mileage, the oil has the same properties as at the beginning, or that the manufacturer of this box (with 1.4mpi) flooded super hyper oil. As I have already stated, the remaining engines in Fabi I had oil / oil drain plugs and the service itself exchanged them.

There are some mechanics who recommend replacing 100,000 km. And I did it because the oil was old after 10 years and the cost was not great.

It's on the other side. Under the left półośią.

In the new 1,6tdi boxes, the trigger is the reverse and there is no filler. You are going through the breather:) how much will you give so much + -

In my chest 002 from 2002, there is no drain plug, only the end cap in the cast. I poured the oil through a backlight sensor with raised rear right wheel, it was 1.75l, and before pouring the level was in the box and the entry was 2l.
Interestingly, I never exchanged oil or added and the car is 17 years old and over 300,000. km. The oil looked pretty ok, it was transparent, brown, but on pure white paper. Zero metal filings. The box worked very well, there were no problems with switching on any gear. I poured oil out of pure curiosity, and that I bought a new one, I flooded Manoll 75W90 Extra Getriebeoel API GL 4 / GL 5 LS, straw color like Kujawski oil.
The same amount of oil (1.75l) got in, what I poured out.
In total, you can buy a 100ml syringe and a 6mm tube on the syringe and take out some oil and check how it looks like it's not a replacement.
For me after the exchange, I do not feel any significant differences, maybe a little better, but this is probably a placebo effect and spent PLN 41 on oil.

The manufacturer assumes that the car will last until the end of the warranty. You also change the oil in the engine after 30,000 km.
It is also a good idea to attach a magnet to gearboxes to catch steel abrasion from the gears because it mainly pollutes the oil in the gearbox. Only when changing the oil, either oil from the authorized dealership according to the standard or a substitute that also complies with the authorized dealership oil standard. Pouring just any oil into GL-4 gearboxes will make it difficult to engage gears when cold (frosty) or the synchronizers will wear out quickly, especially in 3rd and 5th gear.

And what is underneath that red marked lid? Perhaps it would be more convenient to drain the oil with it?

In new 1.6tdi cases the reverse is the drain and the filler is not there. You pour through the air vent : ) how much you pour +-

Don't write silly things because others will believe them. You drain the oil through the drain plug and the shift mechanism cap and pour the correct amount through the reverse switch. The erroneously referred to plug on the front of the gearbox as a check/fill plug is a relic of the past and is neither for checking nor for pouring oil.

Bottom bearing of the selector shaft, no. 30

And will I be able to drain the oil from the gearbox there?

You can do this, do not move the gearshift lever after removing this cap.

Ok thanks very much.

No, not even half the oil will come out when you unscrew it.

It worked fine, all the oil flowed out elegantly.

Only someone who has never seen such a box from the inside will believe this.

Well it has stopped pouring so why dredge up the subject. In any case, even half fresh oil and old oil is better than the old oil as a whole.

Do I see correctly that my box has a filler at the top and there is a drain plug at the bottom?

By the way: is this sweating a symptom of a worn simmering valve? In your opinion, is replacement needed on both sides?

Such supposed sweating is not even wet - don't move it because there is no need.
