Changing oil In the differential etc

[liz]

Could someone give me a simple walk through on how, where, and with what. I'm supposed to change the stuffs in the front and rear transmission etc etc to give it a full service?

Thanks guys. You're the best ❤️

Looking at the car's registration number I take it the car is in Sweden. As regards changing the fluid in the transmission units, the front part is a conventional clutch, with no fluid inside, so ne need to change anything there. The transmission unit itself is located under the rear seats and consists of a primary (driving) unit and a secondary (driven) unit. The secondary unit also consists of a differential unit. The fluid in all these units is automatic transmission fluid (A.T.F.) and changing it regularly helps the car's transmission change more easily and makes it much more quiet, too.

Examination of the two units should enable you to find the drain holes on the underside and the filling hole on the side, about half-way up. All the holes are sealed by bolts and brass "crush" washers, that are changed each time the fluid is changed. Topping up the units can be tricky.... I use an old-style oil can with a long spout to drip-feed the A.T.F. in. It can take quite some time!

While you're under the transmission you can check the condition of the belts and that they're correctly tensioned.

Plenty of work ahead of you.......

Man aren't you the best! Awesome. It's like changing oil in the differential on a 4x4 old golf mk2 then, wich I am familiar with.

Right now I'm working on the front calipers. Both are frozen of course.... 😂
