« on: 05 December 2011, 20:24:31 »

Just bought a little R plate saxo 1.6 Auto. going to change the gearbox oil tomorrow but will i need to refill with ATF fluid or gearbox fluid. Sounds daft but i know nothing about the autos on these.

French gearboxes, manual or auto, are made of cheese. So use Milk for ATF ;D

Did it solve the problem? What grade of fluid did you need?

You got off lightly, the small French car I purchased to sell on needed a new clutch to fix it, seventy squid's worth of Valeos finest...





... it's been advertised for around three weeks but no interest at all, as of yet.
