4 speed gearbox
Models with dipstick
1. Park the vehicle on level ground, apply the parking brake and start the engine. Leave the engine idling, press the brake pedal and sequentially shift all modes of the gearbox, starting and ending with the position "R".
2. The transmission fluid dipstick is located in the rear left corner of the engine compartment.
3. The fluid level in the transmission depends on the temperature To determine the temperature of the transmission fluid, there is a special tester that connects to the diagnostic socket. This connector is located in the right corner of the engine compartment. However, you can measure the temperature of a liquid by inserting a thermometer through the dipstick hole.
4. Start the engine and let it idle. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a lint-free cloth, reinsert it, then remove it again and read the fluid level.
5. Measure the distance between the lower edge of the dipstick and the liquid level and compare it with "technical data", given at the beginning of this chapter. If the level is too low, add the recommended type of fluid through the dipstick hole. Use a funnel to make the job easier.
Caution: Be careful not to get dirt into the gearbox during this procedure.
6. Add liquid to the correct level Add liquid in small portions and measure its level.
7. When finished, stop the engine.
8. When checking the fluid level, also check its condition. If the fluid is black or dark brown, or has a burnt smell, change the fluid (see paragraph 9).
Models without probe
Note. You will need a new filler neck o-ring when installing.
9. To check the fluid level, remove the filler cap. If necessary (for easier access) raise the car and put it on stands (cm. "Lifting and placing the car on supports"). Keep in mind that the car must be in a horizontal position.
10. Start the engine and let it idle. Press the brake pedal and sequentially switch all modes of the gearbox, starting and ending with the position "R"
11. Under the car, place a container under the control / filler hole, then remove the plug (pic. 8.11). Remove the sealing ring.
12. The liquid level should reach the lower edge of the control hole
13. If necessary add a liquid so. so that it pours out of the hole.
14. When checking the fluid level, also check its condition. If the fluid is black or dark brown, or has a burnt smell, change the fluid (see paragraph 9).
15. Put on a stopper a new sealing ring, screw in a stopper and tighten it the demanded moment.
16. Stop the engine and lower the vehicle to the ground.
