Two are very well known with a "Good Reputation"
Perhaps its just the AutoBox Oil issue, but it is a major one and makes you wonder about the other service items replaced now! Have stopped phoning around with the Statement from Grey Ghost and wait to hear hopefully a Reply from XPart. |

The labels have been quoted before, but members might like to see what all the discussion is about.
I'm tempted to post this in the "For sale" forum. The parts man claimed he'd never been asked for the drain plug washer (i.e. he didn't have it in stock and it's not worth his while ordering). Is the old one likely to be usable (if it doesn't break on removal)? Is there anything special about it? The parts diagram didn't show the level plug sealing washer mentioned in the TID - just a "magnetic plug". |

Cheers Moonstone. At least I know where the JF403E comes from. I received a call from my local Xpart dealer earlier who said VYK00040 was a 5 lt container costing £20-70 +vat but no sign of Texaco. Is this the stuff we have been chasing about and is it ok?

The label is an Xpart one, or generic (not Texaco) and they probably, or the Texaco distributor, decant into 5 litre. ( thanks moonstone for the photos, only seen after typing this) What you mention above (VYK00040) is positively the correct fluid as I have now explained many times. Just to confirm, after a member said his Xpart dealer did not have it, I phoned my Xpart dealer today ( Marshalls Cambridge Tel :- 01223 377111.) There is no shortage, it was in stock, the part No has not changed (VYK00040) and the price (after some 2 years) is still £20.70 for 5 litres. 5 litres is more than enough for a fluid change (takes around 4.5 litres). Very carefully follow the proceedure particularly the running up to full operating temperature after the first fill before removing the level Plug and topping up, if necessary, till fluid runs out. Unlike some other makes of auto box, the Jatco box does not have a filter.

Hi,
I got the 5ltrs of the correct fluid for £20.70 from the former MG/Rover dealership in Sussex - Caffyns. It's in the red coloured container with the VYK000(?) no mentioned above. I'm sure my box changes smoother and with a slightly altered (better) shift up/down point thru the speed range - (this may be a placebo effect) My "tip" is do good preparation in getting the small wnough hose/funnel arrangement to refill. It's a reaqlly small filler hole. And BTW the parts counter guy confirmed that few regional dealerships ever bothered to order new sump plug gaskets as the all would have gone through him to order, Good luck with your oil change Matt - brighton

Just shows that the Service Standard is Very Poor, and they don't care about your car. It States quiet clearly to replace Sump Washer with a new one every time. |
