Do you check when hot? (On 2.2)

Checked about 5 mins after a 45 min drive. Not even on the dip stick 

[RobG]

Top notch on dipstick when on hot engine, lower for cold.

[TheBoy]

Yeah, me too

I'll have to see what shite Hellfrauds sell, though worried they will only sell that Dexron that covers all specs, not just DII.

[tunnie]

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?

[TheBoy]

Its essentially atf, it always smells iffy

[tunnie]

I got some stuff from ECP.

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

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.

[tunnie]

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.
