Stekelly Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Hi folks, Have a bit of an issue, while not paying attention and talking while lying under the car to do an oil change I managed to undo the drain nut on the gearbox. No problem I thought to myself, sure it probably hasnt had an oil change before anyway so I went and got myself a couple of litrs of gearbox oil and set about reading the haynes manual. Then I started to realise it was a more awkward job than I thought. The Haynes manual describes it and says its very awkward but doesnt have a picture of where exactly the filler plug is, im looking around as much as I have access toobut not haveing much luck. Any help (or pictures especially) would be great. It's a 2000 reg 1.8 16v Quote
Guest xantiav6 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 If its the ml type gearbox you can fill the box through the reversing lights switch. On this box located ditectly ontop of the box.. If its the older BE type box with the reversing light switch under the platic cover the filler is on the end of the box accessable through the passenger wheel arch.. Fill till it trickles out the filler. The filler hole is the 19mm bolt... To identify your box. Cable clutch is BE box with filler on the endHYDRAULIC clutch with no plastic cover over the box. Fill through reversing lights switch. About 2 litres probably max... Paul Quote
