Geartronic - any major issues? Servicing recommendations?
I am about to buy a A V60 D6 Hybrid with 52K miles and full Volvo history. Does the gearbox have servicing requirements (especially if used for towing) to be aware off - even if not officially required?

I drive a manual D5 and change the gearbox oil every 2 years along with brake fluid and power steering fluid. The engineer in me says any machine runs better with clean oil. Paul. |

Thanks, i do not beleive any gearbox can last on a sealed for life basis. Will probably find an independant volvo garage that will change the oil.

Audi say "sealed for life" on their slushboxes, the box manufacturers say 80k. I'd go for that.

Most BMW X5 owners will agree with that.

Interesting how they don't offer "lifetime warranty" with the "sealed for life" slushboxes.
