daniel_g Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 ^^ haha.Is this your Ibiza yeah ? I'd check the autobox oil, colour, smell & level, infact i'd probably juat change the oil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 The gearbox is sealed for life LOL!!So can't change the fluid That's alittle daft....It only happens in reverse sometimes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kavan-k Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Put it in neutral and push it backwards lol if It was the fluid would the forward gears not be the same? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Something burning off your exhaust? When in reverse it might just be enough to let it waft in?Is it a new exhaust? Might have a protective coating burning off/into the metal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza-Ben Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 You can only have the oil changed if the box has had some work done on the 7 speed as it's a lifetime oil in there, my old dsg polo gti use to stink every now and then as the wax on the bottem of the car use to burn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
