V50 Cars: - Gearbox oil change

Swedenborg · May 21st, 2019, 15:23

Hi guys
I Could do with a little advice please.
I own a 2008 V50 2.0d 136 (pretty sure its a Euro 4 engine ) mileage now 75k & no DPF fitted (only on Euro 5s ) I think I’m right in suggesting.

Anyway I’ve owned the car since 2011 and maintained it best possible with regular oil & filter changes and general service replacements etc.
I would be very interested to know if the gearbox oil requires changing now after 11years or if in fact it can be changed on this particular engine as I can see no evidence of a drain or filler plug.
Or maybe I’m looking in the wrong place, any advice on the above would be most welcome.
Thanks

There was a similar question about the later xc70 cars and I think the answer was suck it out of the reversing light switch hole after removing said switch as they had no drain and fill plugs.

The 6 speed box takes 2.1 litres of oil, some handbooks incorrectly state the capasity at 1.9 litres. I found out when 2 litres did not fill the box and measured what came out. 2.1 litres means you have to buy 3. Volvo price when I baught it was £14 a litre.
