2010 2.0 Diesel Auto - Gears Slipping?

[BrianH]

Most of them are supposed to be filled for life, though not all. In theory it shouldn't degrade, but in practice it does.

 

But yes you have the general idea, that applies to most auto boxes anyway its not just on these. just the gearbox will have a harder life than most others do due to the type of vehicle.

I've wondered about doing this, multiple draining and refills, to change/dilute the filled for life (?) auto 6-speed on my 2008 2.0 TDI . It's now at around 75K.

My Ford mechanic friend (surname Ford) confirmed the service recommendation for oil changes on the later Powershift boxes introduced later than this model.

Having thought further whilst considering the fitment of an oil temperatures sensor, I notice we have a rather substantial gearbox oil cooler.

I'm considering fitting the sensor soon at which time it may well be possible to drain and fill the correct oil or at least some of it via the pipes.

It should also be possible to change the oil within the cooler as well.

Far too busy to even attempt this at the moment though.

Pity that the Torque tablet utility doesn't actually detect the gearbox oil temperature, though it claims it does.
