Hi guys & gals! I have just changed oil and filter in the gearbox in my 2007 T5 and thought of sharing som thoughts and photos. I know there is already a post on this but since I have some more photos and info I would ike to share it as well. I read his guide and took advantage of it too, thanks! Facts: - VW T5 2007 - Engine is 2.5TDI 174hp BPC engine - Gearbox JAC, 09K (Manufactured by Aisin TF-60SN) Recomended oil change interval by VAG is NEVER, they just does not care.  But after some research I have found a interval between 45.000km and 80.000km depending on environment and how hard you run it would be a more adequate interval. My T5 has 240.000 km on it. The gearbox was changed on warranty at 120.000km and I have only owned the car for about 15.000 km. I did not want the replaced one to brake either so I thought it was time now to give it some love  This is my car, very dirty at the time:  Photo of oil pan taken from front of car:  Have started to loosen it so the oil can drain: To remove it entirely I had to move the engine a little with force. It was quite easy though, the engine mounts are flexible.  The two magnets that will attract gear wear in form of metallic particles:  Gearbox without oil pan:  Oil pan cleaned and no magnets at the moment:  Magnets cleaned, new gasket installed:  Close-up on the old filter, pretty much debreis:   Equipment used for filling it up:  OEM numbers on parts: Oil filter gearbox: 09K 325 429 , I paid €34 for it at the time Oil pan gasket: 09K 321 370, I paid €33 at the time ------------- T4 1993 Syncro 2.5 Gas with Megasquirt T5 2007 174Tdi (BPE,JAC) |
