Hello I'm new to the forum and just bought a 2015 t5.1 4 motion which I'll going to doing all the service items now, as I'm not completely sure when they where last done. On my list is to do the transmission oil change. i found the info below about the oil type and capacity. there are also a few pictures on the web showing the fill and drain holes. does anyone know if its a similar system to the haldex oil on the diff. where you fill until the oil comes out of the fill hole or do you just measure the fluid before filling?
thanks
also unrelated but does anyone have any tips for removing the haldex oil filter?

Looking around today it seems the info above could be wrong and where its a 6 speed it needs 2.7l? i have a CAAC engine with RLK gearbox. can anybody help? there also seems to have been a few different oils used. happy to go with genuine vw oil but again seems to be a couple of different part numbers for the oil

Good afternoon Tyrrell, did you get anywhere with your search for gearbox oil? I too have a 2015 t5.1 4motion ( ex AA van ) with CAAC engine and RLK gearbox. Im going around in circles with it . Think i have the rear diff oil and front diff/ bevel/ transfer box oil sorted as 75w/90 gl5 gear oil? Haldex oil and its non existant filter are the easiest things to sort out lol

Good afternoon Tyrrell, did you manage to find any information. Im 8 months behind you and in the same boat caac and rlk 4motion?
 
The haldex oil and filter I did find a company on eBay selling a full service kit and they have a walk through guide. Try item number 175729835723
Gearbox oil I found was VW Gear Oil - G055512A2. I’ve not actually changed it yet but if you get 3 litres you should have some left.
