Title: Knackerd NUTs
Post by: the_bed_wrecker on 08 May 2009, 19:28:35

Hi all,
Well actually its a bolt thats gone, the one thats used for the filler / drain on an autobox, it must be stripped, wont come out and wont tighten up  :-?, any ideas how to get it out ? if I need to take of the sump to get the drain plug out how much liquid is going to pi** out ? and is there anyway too fill up the box without the drian plug out ?
Cheers

AFAIK 4 to 5 litres and you need to take sump off

Hi thanks for that, a bit of a bummer, was a garage that last done the oil they said they had a problem with the plug, I see why now !!
Does anybody know the part numbers and where to get the gaskets and copper washer for the plug, I have a 2.0l on a X plate.

Cheers

Thanks again, its a wealth of knowlage this place  :)
One last question for the night - is the autobox sump under high pressure ? I started the engine and even though the plug is gone there wasnt any oil coming out, will it when upto temp ?
Got long trip tomorrow to pick up a car, so will be towing a bit of weight and dont want to get stranded, will the trailer give the box problems when the oils a bit low. (joined RAC just incase !)

it's not under pressure, there's a vent tube at the back of the engine. Your fill plug is also you level plug, so when your engine is running you're oil level should be level with the plug. I'd be surprised though if nothing at all came out.  :y

Hi, Where's the vent tube at ? I wonder if I can top up the box by pouring oil down that  :D

At the back of the engine bay.
And no .... you can't top up with it!  ;)
