Can I just say what a STUPID idea it is to rely on the thin rubber inner CV boot to keep the oil in the gearbox !!!!!!!!!!!
Went to top up the gearbox oil on the gf's new Cinq tonight because it felt a bit notchy.....put in half a litre..nothing coming out...put in another 1 litre...nothing coming out...put in another litre and nothing coming out of the filler plug but suddenyl starts dripping from the CV boot !!!!
Quickly pull the wheel off to find a big gash in the top of the CV boot....that would be why there was no oil in the gearbox then !!!!
Of course as it was 8pm at night I have no way of getting a new one so had to drain all the oil back out of the box and it will have to wait until Saturday !!
Any tips on getting the driveshaft out and splitting the joint off ???
