I have a 2002 Passat 1.8T with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I'd like to do an Auto-RX transmission treatment before I have the transmission oil changed later this summer. Can't seem to find any place that shows where the transmission oil fill is on the car so I can add the Auto RX.

Can anyone help me out?

It's very near the left hand driveshaft. I think it's a 17 or 19mm allen plug. I have a thread about it somewhere before. I think I was able to reach it through the engine bay. Though I think the one to drain the oil is not an allen key.

I changed my oil as my shifts were getting stiff at only 40k miles. It was much better after the oil change, but I didn't use auto rx.
