woodall001 Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I have a strainge grating/fubbing sort of noise when in gear and decellorating, it goes when i apply the accelorator, but as soon as i take my foot off the gas in gear it comes back, it goes when clutch is depredded. Any idears? Quote
kfk Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I suggest you drain the gearbox oil at the earliest oportunity and see if there is any swarf (metal) in the oil.........it wouldnt be unusual for the differential gear to be making this noise.....the longer you leave it the more chance you have of needing a gearbox.

woodall001 Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 Thanks will get a Haynes Manual and give it a go :o . What oil shouil I put in after? And are any of the gearbox treatments such as Mollyslip any good? Quote
kfk Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 at this stage in the game its probably a bit late to put in any additives. I'd wory more that the gearbox hasnt failed internally. Gear Oil: Total Transmission BV SAE 75W - 80 Quote
woodall001 Posted August 8, 2006 Author Posted August 8, 2006 There was loads of metal filings stuck to the magnetic filler screw! Think it's time to start looking for a new gearbox :) This is my second Xsara and my experience has all been bad, am begining I had got a Vauxhall or a VW :D Quote
