Hi everyone, drove to my local town yesterday and 2.5td auto seemed to lose power,then there was nothing when i pressed the throttle down,
The car was just idling, then the rev,s picked up to about 1200rpm and droped again, first of all in neutral and park the car would rev freely, but once i selected D i had nothing,
I costed home using 1,2 and 3 gears but these were having the same problem when the gear box went to change gear
now i got i home i am having auto transmition fault come up on my screen, plus a smell of oil burning,
The car is now up in the air ready for me to pull the autobox off, to see if any seals or something have gone in the coverter as there is oil stains coming from the bellhousing
any help or advise would be extremly handy as this is the first auto i pull off and look at,
if the converter has run realy low on oil what damage could have been caused?
could i be looking for a new one?
or could i renew the seals or something,,
thanx for taking the time out to read this,and hopefully she will back up and running soon,,,, fingers crossed, G
