`Been down to the motor-factors and the Vx. stealer today; I wanted the two auto-box sump gaskets and a new filter.....helpful chap at the motor factors said they don`t have them in their catalogue and the dealer said (and strap yourself in for this):o
"They" (Vauxhall, presumably) don`t do just gaskets and filters, only 'service packs'; which will have to be specially ordered from Germany, cost: £128.12 +VAT ....to which I said: WTF! :o
I think I surely must`ve got the "Saturday Boy" at the counter as he was more interested in whether is a was "a 4/5 or 6 (!!!!) speed automatic".....to which all I could say was......What?????? It`s an Omega, an O-m-e-g-a! :'(
Please, `anyone know where I can mail-order the transmission gaskets and a filter for my `99 CD 2.5 V6....at a sensible cost.
Jimbob kindly referred me to a chap whom advertises filters and such in Autobahnstormers magazine; but I`m not currently a member of ABS.
BTW: for future reference; should the correct transmission designation for my car be AR35?
-
I suspect he wont know your not a member ;)
I'll pm you his advert, you can just email him, send him the cash and jobs a goodun :y
I have suggested to him he advertise here, but he hasn't yet

..Smashing, thanks ever-so; Jimbob you`re a star! :y

no probs

I got mine mail order from a company called Jpat.
Do a search on this forum or google them. Filter and the TWO pan gaskets was about £38. Nicely packaged and promptly desptached.
The AR35 is the 3.0 litre box. Our 2.5's have a weaker but supposedly adequate box - the AR25. If I could get my hands on the blighter that "designed " the thrust washer.............
I found that refilling and topping up the box through the " level" plug on the side was best achieved by several feet of plastic pipe and a funnel and an assistant. Thread it up into the engine bay. Watch out for the hot exhaust pipe.

When Sassanach did mine he used instant gasket and cleaned the filter.
ABS do the full kit for £30.

Thats what I paid on project 3.2 Elite before I read the advert in the back of the ABS Mag :'(

I'll have to bear this in mind if I ever get round to asking my local Vx stealer the cost of changing the ATF. They seem to like replacing the filter when doing this.
I would have thought a PM to 'andy c', being a Vx parts person, would get a sensible answer.

Please DO NOT hijack this thread - you have your own thread for a paperclip test, on which we have all sent you numerous links to the instructions :y
Thanks.
-
im suspecting that was meant to be a pm!
On a side note, I have spoken to Dave, and he is happy for me to pass his details to anyone who wants them, but is not sure about advertising here yet :y
-
In which case he should still be directed to his original thread until the paperclip test is performed :y

Debs,
Been searching around my local area. Best I've come up with is £27.95 +vat for the filter and 2 gaskets. This was local auto transmission specialist. Very helpful people

Sorry to butt in on this tread, but can you tell me at what mileage or age the auto gearbox oil and filter need replacing. Mines coming up to 47,000 and 5 years old.

Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)
Vauxhall say: Automatic transmission oil change is required every 60,000 miles or six years, but only under ‘extreme’ operating conditions i.e. when towing of when using the car as a taxi.
We say: change fluid anyway at 40,000 to 60,000 miles / six years, regardless of operating conditions.
Also, a change of transmission fluid (and either cleaning or replacing the filter) is the first port of call when dealing with ANY sort of automatic transmission problems – you will be surprised how many boxes were revived by this simple measure after having been written-off by main dealers…
Vauxhall own ATF is quite expensive, you can use any good-brand full-synthetic ATF but it MUST be to Dexron III spec.
