You are right, not my cup of tea that's for sure. been on opieoils web site, they don't list an oil for it, so I looked up golf auto and they do quote 2 oils. But would they use something different just because of the extra weight ?
I should of added it does have VW stamped all over the box.

Thanks

Mike

I suspect its the same box used.....as it has a habit of being a bit unreliable

Ha ha, try totally unreliable, seems to be one thing the germans can't make properly, an auto box.

autodata just lists it as VW ATF would have thought dextron 2 would be ok
my sister in laws audi A3 just got a change in feb  with dexron 2 and that is going fine

unless the Germans in question work for Mercedes, in which case they can only make autos :)

But being Mercs, not very well (for about the last 8 years of production!)

I would doubt its Dex II!

In my eyes the last proper Mer was the S-class from 1991 or was it 92

Yes, merc spotting is easy these days, just look on the back of recovery vehicles!

or rust! Here in Switzerland you are more likely to find a rusty W210 than Fiat Punto. Tragic!
