Les Henson Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 No dipstick I'm afraid. Good old level/filler plug Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Drivers side of the gearbox - about 1/2 way up the side. Oil should be MTF94. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 You sure about that Les ? its an auto ? the dipstick should be to the rear of the engine , with the handbrake and foot brake on start the engine and cycle the box through P-R-N-D and back to P leave ticking over and dip in the normal way.. cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobtail4x4 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Im pretty sure they omitted the dipsticks and went to a filler bolt like manuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 No dipstick shown on EPC, but there are two 'plugs' in the lower pan - one on the bottom with a magnet in, and one higher up - towards the rear. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Well I didn't know that, so what is the procedure for checking the level ? do you still run it through R-D then check at tick over in P ? cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdong2 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 do you need to have the engine running to check the level of the transmission or can you just go through the gears with the solector and end up in the park position switch off and remove the level plug and top up as req'd. graham ____________________ 03 d2 td5 auto e.s. 97 d1 300 tdi man.
