rear diff oil for a 4x4 GTI

Post by Nat »

Does anyone know the type of oil used in the rear differential for the 4x4 GTI?

As I've been stripping and painting the rear sub frame I've been turning the whole thing upside down and the first time I did I found there was a breather hole and all the oil poured out :(

I understand (although I maybe wrong) that the rear diff is a limited slip diff, if this is the case it'll take very special oil although I could be wrong on this.

but if anyone knows what it is and where I could get some that would be great :)
