Hi ya can i ask how much did it cost to get fixed,and is yours a tt?

mines a tt and i got it converted to manual :D

mine was doing this straight after a rebuild on the box, found the oil the garage used was way to thick and wasnt moving around the box and was over heating. Changed 8 litres of the oil and its like new. Who did the oil change? did they say if there was any iron shavings in the pan or on the strainer?

Hi me and my mate changed the oil,and when we drained it didnt notice any shavings,but did notice it only had about 3 liters in it,so i put the same amount back in,and when i dipped the dip stick back in it registerd full,if not a wee bit over full,but you used 8liters something not right here:( how much was a rebuild?

I removed the pipe off the external oil cooler to drain as much as i could. if you only remove the plug or sump max you can get out is about 3 litres. its fine that way its just a matter of diluting the old oil a little bit at a time. Cost me £1600 but if the box has gone you can convert to manual for that money.

you need to check the oil when the engine is running my auto went tits up when it wouldnt go into second a manual box soon sorted that cheaper than an autobox too
