Im new to this so forgive my lack of knowledge.
I bought a sti version 4 on saturday, tonight i decided to have a good look under the bonet.
Theres a dip stick under the intercooler just below the windscreen. What is this for? the level is currently below min. how do i fill it ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ross

 

It is for the gearbox oil level. Not sure exactly how to fill it, although you will need to be beneath the car, and it will probably be a case of unscrewing a bung and filling 'er up.

 

Thanks for your help. Is there a particular type i should use ?

 

WARNING - the transmission oil is very thin and lightly coloured, are you REALLY sure it needs topping up!!!!!!

You'll need to get a oil can with a long spout - I think Halfords do one - and top up through dipstick tube. No need to get under the car.

Cheers

Tim is right, Halfords do the prefect funnel with a long bendy tube for topping up the gearbox. You'll need a good quality 75W/90 oil for the gearbox. I had to top up mine recently and found some Castrol synthetic at Halfords.
