    My 96 tdi has the square plugs (filler, level, and drain). But my 99 tdi has none, so its the grease jobbie. I prefer the option to fill.

    yes and no.

    yes in theory add the grease and thats it your problems are solved.

    no, its not that simple you also have to convert your wheel bearings to grease as theres no longer a replenishing supply of oil to keep them lubed. Its also a lot harder to check it for contamination.

    you dont have to change the bearings, just pull the hub down pack the old ones with grease and re-install them.

    I sense a howto coming on as I have a disco to do a wheel bearing job on from work.

    The way I check for contamination and level of grease is to turn to lock and dip the filler with a zip tie. It will give you the level and also you will see the colour of the one shot. Mine are still honey colour .

    Mine also has the drain plug so I crack it to see if any water comes out and also dip it as in theory oil is lighter than water and any water should come first.

    Regards Philip A
