Hi Brahim,
Remember that you are effectively measuring the continuity of the solenoid windings. If one wasn't operating I would expect it to be open circuit or at least a very high reading (unless of course it's mechanically defective). Have another close look at your results: Quote:
Perhaps not surprisingly the same is true of the next two which have a table maximum of 3.2 ohms: Again, the same deviation on both solenoids, this time just 0.7 ohms. With those results I'd be considering the accuracy of the multimeter. But in any case, I doubt that the variation you're seeing justifies pulling your gearbox to pieces when there are much more likely causes. Quote:

Thank you for your answer.
I suspect they can’t all be faulty. The values are more or less similar. I’ll check the gearbox level tomorrow. But I feel every gear change, and it’s worse with the kick down:hausser les épaules:. Last edited by Shuriken_57; 13th November 2020 at 14:01.. |

Hello, I tried to do the gearbox oil level today.
I drove 15 minutes with the vehicle before starting . But when I check the level with engine running nothing comes out. The oil runs out only when the engine is off. What do you think? I will check better with a laser thermometer. I added a little oil but nothing came out only engine off. Maybe I misunderstood the procedure. Goodbye |

Thank you for your answer. I tried this but nothing came out. Do you think I’m missing a lot of oil in the box?

Here is the official procedure (simplified) for checking the fluid level (from Technical Bulletin TB0080 Issue 1).
You won't be able to measure the actual fluid temperature to this accuracy. The best you can do is probably to use a thermometer quickly on the drained fluid in your container. However, as a guide, water at 30 degrees is comfortable to the hands but 40 degrees is too hot. I doubt that these temperatures are critical since automatics have managed without them for decades. You may have made a mistake though by driving the car for 15 minutes before beginning. The fluid would have been at more like 60 degrees by then. Simon

I ordered oil, I would do the level as soon as it was received. Indeed, the oil was very hot , I will follow your valuable advice. I’m starting to think my gearbox is running low on oil. Have a good day. |

Good morning, gentlemen.
While waiting to receive my gearbox oil, I tested the solenoids today, this time the engine was cold and it was about 14 degrees Celsius (about 57°F) . Here are my results: 1&2 = 569 Ohms (513 to 627 ohms) -3&4 = 557 Ohms (513 to 627 ohms) -5&6 =556 ohms (513 to 627 ohms) -7&8 = 2930 ohms -18&9 = 17.4 ohms (14 to 18 ohms) -18&10 = 17.5 ohms (14 to 18 ohms) -18&11= 17.5 ohms (14 to 18 ohms) -18&12=17.5 ohms (14 to 18 ohms) -18&13= 17.4 ohms (14 to 18 ohms) -18&14= 17.4 ohms (14 to 18 ohms) -18&15= 3.7 ohms (2.6 to .3.2 ohms) -18&16= 3.7 ohms (2.6 to 3.2 ohms) -18&17= 13.6 ohms (12 to 13.2 ohms) What do you think? The last three solenoids are off limits. Last edited by Shuriken_57; 15th November 2020 at 15:07.. |
