I've done this before on a GT and i cannot for the life of me remember the grade but i would just buy whatever VW use.  It will be the right stuff then.  Don't overfill it either.

aye thats the stuff.  I got mine from GSF last time i did it and VW before that.  GSF used to stock the fuchs stuff but i am afraid that it might be carlube jazz from there now so i would just go to VW.

Ok, thanks. Is it an easy task to do the seal?
