New v85 rear drive leak

Part of the recall was to drain fully and replace with 160 ml. Even new from the factory some have been overfilled. Make sure your dealer is aware of this.

Thank you for the reminder. First service will be due soon and the manual I downloaded still has 180 listed.
Vagrant:
IT IS WRONG!!!
Kiwi_Roy:
Only fill it until the oil runs out the level plug at 9 O'clock, that's what it's put there for.
There's often confusion between the gearbox and the transmission aka pumpkin.
Cam3512:
MEASURE and fill. The hole on the back (9 o’clock) is the FILL hole, top (12 o’clock) is the vent.
