Technical Gearbox Oil

[Jeff G]

Hi All

Thought it was time to check g/box oil level but can't find the fill point
It's a 65 plate Cargo 1.3
Many thanks

Don't know for sure on your model, but many makes nowadays have a drain only and refill the correct volume of oil via a breather/filler on top of gearbox.
Not my favourite method as for peace of mind and in case of slight seal oil leaks you don't want to have to replace the entire contents.
Perhaps another Forum member can give more specif detail on your model.

Thanks BM.

The same year Panda 1.3 had a combined level filler plug on I think the front of the gear box
but though I have checked mine It was a year or so back and I cant remember exactly.

Thanks Ralph. Amazing how i cant spot it but i've only looked from above. Not much room down there!

Think I spotted it from underneath.

Ah, that would explain it. Will get it on my ramps when the weather improves. Hateful working on your drive in the cold and damp. Thanks again.
