Technical Is the front tranny 1.65 or 2.7 litres?

[svennelainen]

I see a lot of comments on ze Internettz saying the Panda front trans is 1.65 litres, which is also what is used in a Pedro Panda movie when changing the oil.
But the user manual I have states 2.7 litres. Also when I search for the car with the reg plate at spare part sites I get 2.7.

With the gearbox oil being ridiculously expensive, do I need two or three bottles?

Is it 4x4? Which model?

Ah, sorry! Climbing 4x4 2007

2.7l is given in the handbook for 4x4 gearbox & differential.

1.65l is correct for FWD 1.2 169

Yeah, it's a bit weird as the Pedro oil change is only two bottles for the front. And that's for sure a 4x4.

All I can say is, do your oil changes.
I don't know when the gearbox and rear tranny was re-oiled last, but the rear was Baileys. I will do the rear axle again in a near future to make sure all the junk is out.

When you drain the oil there is always some left in the box

So when you fill it will be less

.7 liter sound a lot though, did you measure the ride height at the rear

A low tank of fuel will make a difference
