Astra G gearbox refill bung?!

    I'm looking for the refill bung on a '00 astra 1.4 with a manual gearbox. There doesn't seem to be a drain bung (I take it I just drop the sump to drain) and I'm unsure about the refill bung. I think it's a small bolt beside the passenger side driveshaft, just to the rear of it.

    Can anyone confirm if this is the right one?! I know it's 1.9 litres of oil and I was going to stick it in through the speedo sensor on top as a back up.

    I think your assumptions are correct. I have not been working on one of those since the '90s so I have to assume the basic layout has not changed: There is no drain plug so you have to drop the sump (messy). The bolt head on the side near the drive is a level plug, not a filler plug. You have to fill it through the top speedo sensor because there is some sort of "weir" arrangement inside and it will not fill properly through the side plug.
