Gearbox oil - be4

[mjb]

So I've got to change this hdi90 bottom engine mount at the weekend, which means pulling the driveshaft. Urgh.

So a couple of questions:

1. Is there a drain plug on these things, like the ML5?
2. How much oil goes in?
3. Where do I put it? (is there a handy filling hole on top like the ML5 reverse light switch?)


Was going to get my trusted mechanic to do this, but he can't do it for another week, and I'm skint... So I'm going to replace the sump (dripping oil everywhere) while I'm at it. Urgh. Mucky.

4. get the oil from pug

Cheers. Hahaha the parts guy at the dealers tried to charge me 2 litres at £25/litre when I did the coupé's clutch... Well, he didn't try to charge me - he said "WTF?" and suggested I get it elswewhere!

75W80 is currently £7/litre at eurocarparts

it's £7.94/L at pug don't let them rip you off go back and tell them that it's advertised at that price and you will not pay more than that thats what i did and now get what i need from them at the right price

all prices are from service box

It's not advertised
This was about 3 years ago. Peugeot's prices fluctuate a LOT
I've always had a good relationship with the dealer's parts guys - they knew me by name and would drop parts off at my house at the height of my coupé repairing days, and I never got charged more than the list price - unlike some dealers/resellers which charge up to 100% premium
Eurocarparts is cheaper, closer and has better opening hours
I've got to go to ECP anyway

jesus, it's bloody hard to get the oil in through that reverse light switch hole. indented almost an inch and at a 45 degree angle making funnel use hard
