Anyone know what the oil capacity for the 6 speed manual gearbox in a 2007 2.2 HDi (170 bhp) C5 is? The Haynes manual helpfully lists two types of ML6C gearboxes - with and without cooling fins, and these take 2.6 and 1.9 litres of oil respectively. My helpful local Citroen dealers ran my VIN through their system and it came back with 1.9 litres, but I'm not sure if I believe this as my gearbox seems to have cooling fins. Here is the pic of my gearbox: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/MrFMagnet/Vroom/20160401_145323.jpg I also ran my VIN through Service Box and it came back with the model "BVM ML6 CL", though I was unable to find the oil capacity. I know the oil is supposedly good for life but I need to remove a driveshaft soon; also there seems to be a slight leak from a gasket so the oil level might be a little low, otherwise I'd just measure what comes out. Does anyone recognise the particular flavour of gearbox in the pic above?

Hello everyone. I have just bought a C5 2.0 HDi Exclusive Automatic 6 speed, 2005 (NV55 LHK). It has done 135,000 miles and has patchy non main dealer service history. I have read lots of posts on the forum but none seem to mention my problem. The Problem:- When changing up from 1st to 2nd gear, the gear box seems to slip and then jolts into gear violently, it feels like a kick in the back. It only happens when the car is warmed up, when the car is started from cold there is no problem the gear change is smooth. There are no gearbox warning lights or messages. I bought the automatic as my wife has Arthritis and now struggles to change gears with her left hand. She loves the car it is very comfortable for her to drive. Any advice and guidance would be most welcome.
