hi, can anybody help. Does anybody out there know the best way to drain the petrol tank on a renault espace 2004
Remove driveshafts (drain oil), undo linkage and electrical connections, undo support under battery, undo bolts to engine, remove gearbox from underneath.
Open the drain screw at the bottom of the gearbox hydraulic fluid is discharged.
There'll be a plug at the bottom of the transmission. That's the drain.
Take the wheel off closest to the gearbox, then you can clearly see the Automatic Transmission fluid drain plug. Its just behind the brake caliper. You may want to fill up and drain the gearbox twice in order to properly flush the gearbox as best as possible.
it has not got one you have to remove gear box sump plate
You will need a special Vauxhall service item called a Long Tool Hoffer. This will enable you to drain off the torque converter and the bastile. The filter must be changed and the old oil poured down the drain.
On my espace a wiring fault turns on the ignition circuit at random draining the battery if not spotted. This is without the keys in the ignition. I fitted a battery isolater switch and use this to make sure it dont drain while parked up. seems to happen mostly when frosty etc.
inside the gearbox any trouble you get with a gearbox drain and refill with new ATF.
From the right side of the bike, get down and look underneath the area where the gearbox is located, you will see a drain plug in the middle of the gearbox casing (obviously for the gearbox) and nearer to the outside of the bike there is a same size drain plug in a small down tube which is open at the bottom and is connected to the oil tank.
there isn't a drain plug, you will have to remove the bottom hose
Firstly look for the drain plug on the bottom of the gearbox. Possibly could also be on the lower side of the gearbox. Open this up and drain the oil out.
