Hi all,
new here!
SO, I know that G052527A2 / G 052 527 A2 appears a few times in threads, but would like some advice.
I am UK based, not sure how many of you lot are.
So, as we know, the G052527A2 spec is hard to find, impossible to know any details of additives or temperatures etc.
I have had a replacement used 6 speed gearbox fitted but it is super notchy in most gears, and no better when warm. hopefully not the syncros as there is no grinding, don't want the hassle of refunding it and finding another one The transmission oil I provided to the mechanic was Mannol 8104, which meets the required specs, however as it is a budget one (£23 for 3 litres), I wonder if I need to change it and it will improve.
The replacement ones and their approximate costs for 3 litres are:
1. FUCHS TITAN SINTOFLUID FE SAE 75W - £31/$40
2. FEBI 21829 - £36/$46
3. RAVENOL MTF-3 75W - £42/$54
There is also the Redline MT-LV, however costs quite a bit more in the UK - £79/$100. Including as I know its a fan favourite on here.
Then the OEM oil is £150/$195.
Thank you all!
