Does anyone know what type of oil the 1.9 cdti auto box uses, and also how much VX take to flush and change it?

If it's AF40 6 speed gearbox that you have, the oil's P/N is 93165147, GM oil ATF AW-1. You can check the type of gearbox looking down, between the engine and the battery. You will see a metallic plate which says the gearbox type.
Why does it need flushing? That's only necessary when the autobox already has serious problems, even then a full overhaul is probably best.
Drain/refill only replaces about 1/2 the nominal contents of the autobox.
The oil specification is in the Service Booklet - not the Owner's Manual !!
I thought it would need flushed if the oil was getting changed.........
edit: is the oil GL5 75W/90?

If it's the AF40 gearbox, the only recommended oil is the one that I wrote before. I used it in my gearbox.
Never found another oil recommended for the AF40 gearbox. The only one is the one I mentioned.
has to be a type 4 gearbox oil like comma asw must be suitable for aisin warner gearboxes its usually cheaper to buy from toyota its the same stuff ask for type 4
I'm guessing from your profile that you've got the 5 speed box which makes it the AF33?
From the Haynes manual, they say use VX part# 93160393 which, when I wanted some back in July 2008, I Googled the part # and it came back with the same stuff used in Saabs from Parts for Saabs. http://www.partsforsaabs.com/advance...words=93160393. You'll need a max of 4 litres as Haynes say to start with, IIRC, an initial fill of 3.0-3.5lt and then check the level on the dipstick. The filling and checking method is described in Haynes and it's too long winded to explain here.
As VX quoted me £100 to change the AF33 oil in my 02 GSi, this was the only reason I bought the Haynes manual. £20 for Haynes plus £30 (in July 2008) for the oil (delivered price), so I saved £50 and knew the job had been done properly.
