4.Connect TestBook/T4 to monitor gearbox fluid
temperature.
CAUTION: The gearbox fluid level must only
be checked when the temperature of the
fluid is between 35° and 45°. The reading
obtained will be incorrect if the fluid is
outside this temperature range.
5.Start engine, move selector lever from 'P'
through all gear positions, pausing in each gear
position for 2-3 seconds and return to 'P'
position.
6.Clean area around level plug.
7.With the engine still running, remove level plug
using a 5 mm Allen socket and allow any
excess fluid to drain off.
CAUTION: There are a number of similar
fixings/plugs on the underside of the
gearbox. It is imperative that the correct
plug is removed prior to checking the level.
Removing the wrong fixing/plug could
result in internal damage to the gearbox.

9.Remove filler plug and add fluid until it just runs
from level plug aperture.
When topping up after a new air blast cooler
(Td4 hot climates) has been fitted, an extra
420 cc of fluid is required. The fluid must
also reach a temperature of 80° C (176° F) to
allow the switch on the cooler to open.

dealership meets the standards required as laid
down by dealership processes. Secondly, for a
skilled technician to assess the general condition of
the vehicle and report any conditions that the
customer should be made aware of.
