just want to know if the color is red or golden transmission fluid for the cvt gearbox dve

I believe it's only a hint of golden-red you want, not Vimto.
Sounds new so should be in the service log, and possibly checked with a phone call.

Hi the gearbox dip stick is the one on the right, the one on the left should be a golden colour because it's engine oil :P

Dave456,
Steve Wright is on in the afternoons. :P
Anyway, to answer your question. Look at this thread http://clubjazz.org/forum/index.php?topic=6465.0 (http://clubjazz.org/forum/index.php?topic=6465.0)

The old fluid in the box looked more like Lamb's Navy Rum. Fresh CVT-F is Tizer red, not Golden Syrup golden.
I can only speak from experience of Honda's CVT-F and not any other manufacture's fluid.
