contact your local dealership or look at your owners manul and see the exact time that fluids need to be replaced. since you car is ownly 2 years old the local dealership should be able to get you a printout of the cars maintenance schedule
I tried to find this for you. Try using the terms you gave on a Browser search for that Title. There are all sorts of Blogs and hits ranging from the TRW company buying Marzocchi to both the gearbox and fork oil sumps.
Seems Marzocchi also was into the electric Power Steering on cars as well as Ducati products. On the Blogs, there were people talking about changing the oil in their units. This would perhaps help you find the quantity and type of lube they used. I did see a 2.5W oil mentioned but it did not show the application.
all these vehicles with manual gearboxes will be quite happy with EP80 or EP 90 either oil will be sufficient .unless you have a ambassador which is rear wheel drive ,then its EP in the diff unit and engine oil in the gearbox but this is only for the ambassador which is a morris cowley from the 50s in the uk
There will be a plug on the bottom of the transmission casing to let the old gearbox oil out.
On an automatic trans the filler is usually on top at the trans dipstick.
On a manuel trans there is a plug about half way up the trans casing.
Drain fully and put in correct type and amount according to your manual. Do not put any old trans fluid in use the type and quantity recommended by the manufacturer!
I find myself just going to a Quick Lube Shop and letting them do it for a few bucks more.. They get it right and it's faster than me doing it myself.
I just did an oil change service on my Touran last night (same principal as the Toureg). The Touran has a bleeder (there is a seperate screw type cover under the filter) to release the excess oil in filter (not sure it the Toureg has the same)The aluminum casing around the filter is a bit tough to remove, but turning it anti-clockwise with a little bit of force should do it. Try not to use the special tools that are available to grip the casing as you may dent it. The sump plug can be removed with standard tools. I am still working on the reset option for the 'service now' warning
