Hi.
I did the flush and change on MFL last year. I found the instructions clear and precise, I had no trouble at all and was rewarded with nice smooth gear changes, well worth the hour it took.

It's looking very much like I will be needing to do this job this week after a problem this weekend.
Tom.

May be a silly question. How do you unplug/ remove the hose from the cooler ? |

From the great pictures on the first page of this thread :

For the later cooler the same push fit connector is used, but the pipe is vertical, so you slide the collar upwards to release the tabs. You will probably find it is quite stiff to move, due to corrosion of the alloy stud the host connects to, after all these years. Mine needed a little gentle clean up and a little WD40 (wipe off excess) to help lubricate. May even need a plastic tool or something equally gentle to help get it moving. |

Transmission oil change
Thank you Simondi, just what I required, so I can print it and give it to the mechanic.

Today I've done the full ATF change as detailed above, thanks for the info. Car has only done 220k and had one part change about 3 years ago so I think it was time! It was suffering from a bad thump between gears on occasions, and sometimes a slip before engaging top. I haven't been too far since changing the fluid, but overall it does seem better. If need be I'll attack the solenoids (have a full set spare) and hydramount.
One thing though, I spent ages trying to get the push-on connector free from the oil cooler, without success. Nearly broke it in the process so gave up there. I traced the hose back up to a large union (like a brake pipe connector). A 19mm spanner here soon got it off, and the hose of course was easy to direct into my bowl on the floor. No need for a garden hose! Stewart |

Brilliant guide!
When I bought my cdti auto tourer the gear change was sharp,clunky and when cold the car was barely moving but once warm would work better,so,I followed these instructions and wow what a difference!.On test drive the car was warm but I could instantly feel the difference,Today was a frosty start this is when it would be at its worst,not anymore, no slipping no clunking,nice smooth responsive gear changes,I can't Thankyou enough for this step by step guide,although Im pretty good with a box of spanners I wouldn't normally mess with slush boxes.
Please don't worry about trying this out,it's easy and effective Tony |

Brilliant How To Clear & Precise
Thanks Einar,
I have done a auto transmission flush thanks to beinets how to using 8 litres of ravenol jf506E £77 for x2 4 litres inc postage from Germany only 3 days to get here cheaper than anywhere in uk for ravenol. This how to was easy to follow Very clear & precise and excellent pictures Im sure many on this forum have used this And I intend on Using this guide again for the New Ski Blue Auto Diesel I am purchasing next week. Ive just checked Ravenol UK and you can now purchase 8 Litres posted for £77.87 with postage but Only in 1L bottles Or 20 l for £169 Last edited by Andyc02; 4th March 2017 at 09:14.. Reason: uk pricing of Ravenol |
