Hi People ,

  Can someone tell me what the dipstick is for behind the turbo ?  and how to fill it ?   I checked this yesterday only to find the dipstick came out bone dry ! Im assuming that this is for transmission fluid but i dont know how to top it up (its an '01  wrx)

Cheers

yip mate gearbox oil [Y]..  oh and you have to fill it up there to, get a funnel and a peice off tubeing . or get down to halfords and have a wee spy there[Y]

We did exactly the same, funnel and a bit of tube, it only takes about a litre of transmission fluid to fill it up, it's a little bit fiddly but not too bad to do.

just change the gearbox oil mate. i done mine in 20 min (first time)  takes 3.5 ltr  but i put 3.7 in to protect 3rd gear...

Make sure your is on a flat surface when you check it as you will get a false reading if it is on a gradient!!

Fill up hole IS the Dipstick tube M8 - you'll need a funnel and a lot of patience as 75W/90 Oil is THICK
