Just bought a GTI138
Car engages gear 1 2 and 3 and reverse fine but screeches when engaging into these gears, except third, it won't engage 4 or 5
Big leak of oil on gearbox can be seen so I assume that the gearbox is low on oil
There is a screeching sound when moving in any gear except third gear and sometimes even when the gear stick is not in gear, the car still creeps forward like its in gear
Any ideas please?
Bought this cheap so it's a play toy to fix up and then teach the mrs to drive in it

Changed gear oil!
120ml came out... 2L or so went in...
PERFECT! Smooth as anything ! So so happy!
