TECHNICAL MANUAL LEON CUP RACER
5.7 Gearbox control & service
Control routine before start:
 Check that there isn't any oil leakage.

Operating range 70°C to 135°C.

Do not load the engine until the gear box temperature its upper to 70°C (control on the display).
Routine maintenance:

Change the gearbox oil and filter in the indicated mileage (see mileage table).

Oil filter, as well as the rest of the gearbox spare parts, must be from VW group or SEAT Sport
original parts, detailed on the Leon Cup Racer parts catalogue.

If there is not any oil leakage it is not necessary any level control (paragraph 6).

Check that the SEAT Sport seals are in good conditions.
How to change the Gearbox oil:

With the gearbox oil temperature below 50ºC, the
lever in position P, the vehicle on a level and the
engine stopped, remove the oil drain plug and the
overflow pipe located inside.

Wait until all the oil runs out, more or less 5 litres,
and screw the overflow pipe again (3Nm). Change
also the gearbox oil filter.

Fill 5,5 litres of new oil and hand-tight the oil drain
plug. Seat Sport recommends using the adapter for
the gearbox oil filling (VAS 6262A). If not fill it from
the oil filter housing (much slower).

Start the engine. Depress brake pedal and select each selector lever position for 3 seconds. Then
go back to P. Do not switch off the engine.

With the engine running at idle speed and the gearbox oil between 35 and 45ºC, remove the oil
drain plug again and let the surplus oil drain out. When it begins only to drip, install the oil drain
plug with new seal (45Nm).
Note:

If when doing the level after removing the oil drain plug no oil drains out: stop the engine, add 0,5
litres more and repeat the process from running the gearbox in all selector lever positions.
How to adjust the gear and selector levers:

Unscrew the selector lever bolt (see picture).

Put the lever in P.

Turn the gearbox selector lever backwards.

Screw the selector lever bolt.
