Hi,
     Nope, Canadian, so that would be about $6 US, I think ;)  It
wouldn't have been so bad except for the taxes, about $6 CDN worth.
Interesting theory, might have to try that.  I also saw a flurry of
people saying jack up the driver's side and use a funnel with a long
hose.  I have the funnel with the hose (that's why I can get the fluid
in so easily through the speedo gear hole), but I'm not sure that
solution is substantially better.
     A VW mechanic told me that some in some transaxles the fluid level
needed to be slightly above the bottom of the filler/check hole.
Anybody know anything about this?  That would imply if you check or
refill the transaxle fluid it will always be a little low unless you
pour through the top.

Colin

If you can read this line, you're probably not illiterate.
