How to Change Transmission Oil | VW Sharan, Seat Alhambra, Ford Galaxy | 6-Speed Manual

In this video, I provide a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to change the manual transmission fluid (gearbox oil) on a VW Sharan 1.9 TDI PD (85kW / 115HP). This process is identical for the Seat Alhambra and Ford Galaxy (1995-2010) sharing the VAG 6-speed manual gearbox across various engine outputs (66kW, 81kW, 85kW, 96kW, 103kW, 110kW). Fluid Specifications & Parts Used: Transmission Fluid: Motul Gear 300 75W-90 (Premium 100% Synthetic Gear Oil) Gearbox Type: 6-speed manual transmission (VAG platform) Pro-Tip (The Glitter Test): I always recommend draining the old transmission oil into a clean, transparent container. This allows you to inspect the fluid for "glitter" or metallic debris, which is a clear indicator of damaged or worn synchronizer rings and internal bearing wear. Key maintenance steps covered: Warming up the transmission to operating temperature to ensure proper oil flow and drainage. Locating the gearbox fill and drain plugs on the 6-speed casing. Draining the old gear oil completely and performing the visual inspection. Refilling the transmission with fresh Motul Gear 300 75W-90 fluid. Correct sealing, plug torquing, and final check.
