Do you check when hot? (On 2.2)
Checked about 5 mins after a 45 min drive. Not even on the dip stick :-\
-
Top notch on dipstick when on hot engine, lower for cold.
-
Yeah, me too ;D
I'll have to see what shite Hellfrauds sell, though worried they will only sell that Dexron that covers all specs, not just DII.
-
Thanks Rob. Needs a topup then, smelling very burnt too. Got a suction pump, temping to top up. Thn full lock each way few times, then suck more out and re-fill?
Thought about doing that a few times?
-
Its essentially atf, it always smells iffy

Looks like it may be a DexIII equiv, so I'll pass. And can't get to euroshiteparts anyway

The GM stuff Hellfrauds sells is rated dex 2 :y

But does it cover DexIII as well? GM clearly state not to put DIII in (mostly likely due to a reaction with their own damaging seals)

Cheers guys - needs to be somewhere I can collect, as I can't wait in for delivery, and I need it reasonably quickly.
I'll pop to Hellfrauds tomorrow.

I have an ECP about 5 min walk away, so been getting few things there. Very handy. :)

Did I give you back that bottle of d2? Oh wait I know, it got burned.

Isn't there a drain plug on the pump (or near it) for the PAS - you undo it when you want to replace the pump, thought I'd read somewhere.
At the minute I've topped mine up (after turkey baster-ing the reservoir as empty as I could) concerned that all I've done is replace the old stuff at the top, whereas all the old stuff that was in the pump is still in the pump.
-
PAS topped up with the Halfords one link above. £5 odd one trade, for 1l. But more importantly, I could pick it up today, put it in the car, job jobbed without worrying about a mail order option arriving on time.
Sorry to hijack your thread tunnie, but thanks for reminding me I desperately needed to sort TBE out :y
-
No probs. Topped the 3.2 & 2.2 up today. Both needed a good splash.
3.2 badly needs a service and a cambelt. Must put a weekend in the diary for Brackley :y
