im in the process of doing this right now, however, the oil cooler on my 2001 diesel seems to be under the nearside front wing and the connecting couplings are on the gearbox itself. do i still remove the bottom one and connect a drain pipe to the stub that protrudes from the gearbox or do i connect the drain pipe to the bottom flexi coupling.

I know this post is very old but I've not long been a member. Given photobucket's quest for even more money now, any chance of reposting the pictures using another programme as they no longer show. Thanks Steve Last edited by benrolljagrover; 5th July 2017 at 11:43.. |

Hi all,
Glad to see that this thread is still useful for the forum members. It is a while now since I wrote it. I have to admit that I do not visit this forum often any more after my daily driver was sold. I still have the V6 and enjoy now and then on lovely days. I will see if I can get the pictures back for you all! P.S. Thats bad. I am not paying Photobucket $6/month for an upgraded membership. Are there any other photo sharing services that works well? Last edited by beinet1; 14th July 2017 at 20:04.. |

Thanks CLF, That helps a lot!!
I am not sure what I will do. What photobucket is doing is blackmailing!! It pi$$es me off!! I have shared hundreds of photos of my experience via photobucket on several forums which is now unaccessible!! |

I would save some of the how tos to allow me to view them whilst at the car, and accidentally discovered I could save them as PDFs using google's chrome browser. Which meant I could view them easily using my tablet or phone. To save as a PDF in Chrome, right click on a blank area of a web page, select 'print' (ctrl +p will also work), then in the dialogue that opens, click on change, and 'save as pdf' will be an option. Select that, and the rest is obvious

My ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) flush & fluid change - how to
Thank you beinet1 for this "how to", and CLF for re-posting as PDF with pictures. Well, I thought I'd give it a go, seeing as the ATF in my tourer was changed by previous owner, 45k ago, at 30k miles. I didn't previously have any problems with gearbox as such, but just thought I should do the change, as father in law was going to do his, and wanted to watch a guinea pig first.😨 Out of curiosity, I 1st checked the fluid level, before draining anything, and approx 200ml came out. It looked like this:😱 That made up my mind to follow beinet1's procedure, (almost) to change as much as possible, rather than the "normal" drain procedure. I didn't take temperature measurements at any stage, but done all drain/ level checks, within 20 mins of taking out for a run, and getting up to "normal" temperature, say 84C. I used this, purchased from rimmers... . OK, we probably all know what it looks like, but for comparison with photo 1, it looks like this: Fluid amounts at various stages were as follows: Level plug overflow: 200ml Drain: 3050ml Fluid in: 3500ml Fluid outvia cooler). 3050ml (till it stopped pumping). Spillages, 😱: 600ml, yes, there were some😬, mostly caught (500ml) but made allowance for 100ml escapees. Fluid in: 3400ml So excluding initial overflow from level plug, that was OUT: 6700ml IN: 6900ml At that point, there was no sign of anything coming out of the level plug, so added another 100ml, and then about 50 ml came out. Hardest bits: - separating the collar on the oil cooler - having to rig up a variety of hoses and tun-dishes - having the patience to fill the thing... it took an age.😤 Having only driven the 15mile home from FIL house, the only difference I can note is that it doesn't change down a gear, as readily as before. Nothing major, just different, but then again, it was fine before the change. 🤔 So, my only query to put out there....... What do you make of the colour of the fluid that came out, seeing as it has only down Approx 45k.? Previous owner was a gentleman, so I've no reason to assume it wasn't changed, or that correct spec fluid wasn't used. (He had posted a bit about using N402 spec, back in the day.)

ATF Change
This is a great how to, and thank you Beinet1, i followed your procedure and once everything ready did the change in about 1 - 2 hours, and the stuff that came out was also black like think treacle, so not sure if it has every been done. I just need to finish off by checking the levels, I reckon that i have put in about 7 - 7 1/2 litres of new ATF, so think I got most of it out.
One very small question as I am was lying on my back in the man cave, where exactly is the 5mm allen key check level, as I cant seem to find it Many thanks Stuart |
