Give Tooley's Imports in Sydney a ring. Give them your VIN and they'll work out what oil and parts you need.

Their oil is the same stuff, re-branded, but almost half the price.

Any ideas what the tranny oil temp should get to? I took it hit a 30km run @ 110 km in the evening and it got to 70 degc ? Didn't seem to go any higher ( maybe in a warmer day)

Ideal temperature for checking the level is in the mid-30s off the top of my head.

I wouldn't expect it to get very hot in normal operating temperatures. I'm sure if you tried, you could force it to go a lot higher, but I recommend that you don't

Yes that's the temp for checking the level, as if it was to be hotter it would expand and give a falls reading, but after a good drive you would expect temps to get higher right? I'm just concerned that I don't a thusly know the correct operating temp under normal driving conditions. I'm about to do a 3k km road trip, surly if it was too hot I would have got an error in vag com?

If it's got a temperature sensor, the transmission control unit would have set parameters for it to work within. Anything outside of that would log a code, I would say.

Yes, think ill be bringing my laptop with me on my journey

I did a google search I found the average temp of an auto tranny is 110-190 deg f (45-80) deg c

So I'm not overly hot I don't think ( fingers crossed)

Thanks for all your help btw m8
