Hello

I followed the manipulation of step 7, INSP 0 was not displayed I think only InSP then once released the pedal nothing was displayed, I think it is because I had exceeded the date!

Hello

Is it the same as when you do a normal oil change????

Thank you for your reply

Good morning,

the gearbox cap is located on the gearbox but it is not easy to describe in writing. For this kind of precise details, the technical review auto corsa (RTA published by ETAI) is very useful, because for 30 euros, you know how to disassemble the entire car from A to Z. I have always used it for my cars and motorcycles and you can really do everything yourself by buying the basic tools.

Gearbox oil is not at all the same as engine oil and is drained through its dedicated cap. Normally, there is no need to replace the gearbox oil, it is topped up in the event of work on the gearbox or on the universal joint on the gearbox side. I can send you a scan of the 3 RTA pages dedicated to the gearbox if you wish. matthieu
