Geartronic gearbox oil level

Cantankerous One · Aug 9th, 2014, 16:12

Only got the car today and can't really believe that I'm asking this - but having spent ages trying to find some form of fluid level indicator for the auto box I've admitted defeat!!

I was expecting to find something obvious like a dipstick visible from above.

How do I check the level?

You don't
Why do you want to check

Google gibbons method for way of changing fluid

You do

There is a little dipstick in front of tranny, only accessible from under car, belly pan off and bam! there it is. Check level whilst on idle, preferably on a warm engine.

Thanks for that Gswede

Having just got the car with 78 k on the clock I'm doing a complete fluid change
