  • Refill of gear box oil

    Hi Guys, please could someone point me in the right direction on refilling the gear box oil, I have removed battery and box. underneath is an 8mm hex plug towards the front of the housing. Can anyone confirm this to be the refill point for the gearbox oil. the engine is 2.0 cdti auto 2014 plate

      Thanks for that �� just to be absolutely sure when we drained the gear boil oil last night the drain plug was a small hex star drive plug? - we got about a litre and half out is that right?

        Sounds about right. You should have the inner and outer at the bottom though.

        The inner one is the level plug essentially and the outer one lets you drain what is left. IIRC there is circa 7ltrs of oil in the box but only 2.5-3ltrs will drain, the rest is in the torque converter. I poured in the same amount that left the box. (2.5ltrs)

          As a good measure make sure you can undo the filler plug before you drain the gearbox.
          There's nothing worse than finding that you have drained it but cannot refill it .
          But it sounds like I'm a bit late with that advice.
          To totally flush the gearbox oil you will need to do about 2-3 drains over a period of about a week .
          As said above, because the torque converter holds quite a bit .
