Title: Transmission Fluid
Post by: hp7166 on 26 September 2008, 12:26:12

Hi Guys

Have a 2.5TD 1995 and can seem to find where to check the transmission fluid under the hood

Cheers

You can't...  The auto boxes don't have a tank under the bonnet for this.  They have a top up hole which is down on the box itself, so you'll be right underneath the car to check that one.

Generally - if it's running smooth then it's probably best left.  If you've got 80,000 miles on the clock, and don't know when the last change was then it's probably worth changing it.  Although saying that, I had 130,000 on mine and had only topped it up after changing the radiator (where some leaked out).

No pictures, but the guide's here.  It's fairly obvious once your under there as to where the bolt is:
