Hi Folks, I’m new on this forum.
My 2014 Ibiza FR editition 1.4 shortly after I bought it in December had some gearbox whine when in second gear and 4th. Seat said the noise was within tolerance and to jsut monotor it. My mechanic said I could change the oil and add and additive to help quiet it down. So I did but after that every morning for about 15 minutes or more I could not get the car into second gear and some others were a little stiff. No horrible noises when getting into gear just really stiff until it’s got warmer. So after a few weeks I decided to get the oil flushed out to get rid of the addative to hopefully put the gearbox back to how it was and just it up with a little bit of noise. However after the second oil change and no addative its still not right. Certainly much better but still stiff until the gearbox has had a good drive out. I’m not sure the garage used the right oil. I asked the mechanic at my local garage and he said they used VW recommend oil but it was 75W90, I had read that for my car it’s 75W80??? Can any one help, is 75W90 the wrong oil??? What is the right oil??
Thanks Guys!!
