In my experience with these things, having owned one from 2000 to 2006 and covering only 150 odd thousand miles from new. The gearbox is a sealed unit and seemingly needs to be replaced every 40,000 miles at great expense. Joking aside, specialist tools are required to top up the oil as the quantity is reliant on the temprature of the unit which alters the volume of oil and the oil is locked in at a certain temp and the selector lever has to be moved in a specific mannor to distribute the oil around the valve block, also the bands need to be tightend every so often.
What oil do you recomend for my 407 2.7 diesel automatic gearbox and what is the quantity?
You fill it through the dipstick hole.
The specs for a 1977 VW Transporter state that the vehicle has a top speed of 68 MPH. It has a curb weight of 3,108 pounds and a gross weight of 5.093 pounds. It has rear wheel drive, and a manual four speed gearbox.
Power steering fluid or Automatic transmission fluid
When sitting in the driver´s seat you´ll find a small locker (for coins etc.) just above your left knee. There is a little black knob on the top. Unscrew the knob and open the lid. Behind it you can see fuse box. (VW transporter 1991)
You can top off the oil in the gearbox on a 206 Zest by removing the fill plug on the top of the gearbox and using a funnel to fill with oil.
where is the bung on a citroen c5 gearbox need to top up on oil
on the front of the gearbox there is a Black plastic pipe with a lid going over it, take the lid off and top up. Be care full not to over fill. This is on the T4 2.5TDi. The black pipe dimensions is about 3/4 of an inch in diameter and 4 inches long
If the car is an automatic it doesnt have a dip stick. The correct level is when it is filled to the bottom of the top most lug hole (the filler one).
lift the seat (driver) open the cover if it is a pm put 3 qts and start engine check level and add as needed
The gearbox top up level on a Saab 9.3 2007 model for a manual gearbox is located underneath the engine inspection cover. It is essential that the car is level when adding oil to the gearbox.
Simple answer is no. The way that diesel engines produce and use power is totally different to the way petrol engines produce power, the diesels power is at the bottom of the rev range as opposed to the petrol engines being at the top of the rev range. Becuse of this diesel engine gearboxes use very long gear ratios and petrol engine gearboxes use very short ratios. If you put a diesel engine onto a petrol gearbox the effect would be that in fifth gear at max revs you'll be travelling at 40mph.
