With the auto box did you just do consecutive dump and fills, or did you have a period of running the vehicle between the changes? |

I did the change in one go. No mileage in between. |

Did you do a series of dump fills in a short period or do it over a longer period of time? I’m just wondering if mixing the original non synthetic with the S&A synthetic and running fpor some time is an issue for the gear box? |

I ran the gearbox for about 5 mins between each exchange. Got it up on ramps and level

So I bit the bullet and decided to do the drop and fill method and use the Mannol 8218.

Your right to check the level again. You seem to have done it correctly but the process is Step 1 Is put in park on level ground, add .5 litres of oil and bring to 60 degrees C. Step 2 Move through each of the gears (at least 3 seconds) Step 3 Is with engine running, remove the level plug and let excess run out. You can find the details on p1303 of the workshop manual which is on this forum. |

I looked at the web site of Auto Fault Finder, they say low pump pressure with a code 14 means pump down to earth or open circuit, so I ordered a new haldex pump, going to fit it today with a new filter and oil.

Yes that's the way I didit but using 0.25 ltrs of extra ATF, but it spooked me getting the transmission error straight after. I drained and stripped the haldex and took it out, cleaned it up and fitted a new pump and filter, put it back and filled the haldex oil, then did the top up and syringe out procedure to get the right level. Put 0.5 ltrs ATF in the auto box ran it a couple of miles then leveled it and took out the level drain plug, with engine still running, pretty much exactly 0.5 ltrs came outso I'm happy it was good before, and good now. Ran it 140 mls today and it seems fine. |

I did mine today after adding an ATF cooler. That new cooler obviously holds some fluid so after making sure 60 degree fluid was running through it I competed the fluid level procedure.

Hello all, just doing this today. I cannot get the filler plug out. What a bloody stupid place to use a torx head!
