ATF change
« on: 10 December 2018, 19:14:21 »
Evening kids. Hope you’re all well. 😄

I’ve changed my atf on my ar25 a few times now. I have never dropped the two pans; I simply suck the fluid out and refill. I’ve been happy doing this much to TBs annoyance 😂

However it appears I have developed leaks from both gaskets. Sigh.

On the upside I will get to clean the magnets and change the filter.

I’ve looked for part numbers but the ones in the guides don’t match when I called Vauxhall. The chap who wrote the guide mentioned there is a kit for sale. Anybody got any links to a filter and gasket kit?

Also when I remove the filter (3 bolts I believe) is there a sealing o ring that I need to replace? I’ve done a couple of mercs and they didn’t even have securing bolts.... they had a tube off the filter with one o ring and it just kinda sat there 🤭🤭🤭

Anyway this won’t be done until next month as my track rods arrive tomorrow and I have no money til then 😂😂😂

You Webby are a bad lad. Santa won't be bringing you much other than a bag of rags to mop up all those filings.

Don't JPat do a kit. . In recommended suppliers?

Thanks DtB. Got a linky for a proper gasket? I definitely don’t want to use sealant if there are proper gaskets Available 👍

Later cars don't necessarily have gaskets fitted from new...

Got mine[a new filter and both gaskets]from ABS but that was some years ago now.Filter can be cleaned and re-used tough.Reason I bought filter was so I could replace straight away and clean out/dry the filter that was in there already at my leisure.

Refit sumps with sillycon sealent, and wash filter out in the parts washer along with the sumps, blow cooler lines out, refill with 8. 1/2L of the dex3 of choice, and as you have access to lifrs it's not a bad job.

Thanks for all your help guys. Much appreciated. As I mentioned before I’m not a fan of using rtv as a pan seal if there’s proper gaskets available. I noticed that the gasket says for BMW. I take it those will be ok?

Random question. When I start my car I leave it running for a couple of minutes to warm up. Whilst it’s running will the auto box oil also be warming up? Just a random thought I had 😂😂😂

Yes - it will warm up.

I can read the autobox oil temperature on my Omegas using a bluetooth OBD/ELM dongle and the 'scanmyopel' app on my Android phone.

From memory you are meant to check the level with the engine running and the fluid at about 50degC, (which is what I did) Don't know how important that is though :-\
