gearbox oil
can anyone tell me where to fill gearbox oil on my 2002 110hdi please, i changed the pass cv joint today and lost most of the gearbox oil,if any pics i would be greatful.
Re: gearbox oil
You didn't drain it then?
Drain off the rest and fill it through the breather hole on top of the gearbox after you remove the plastic screw/bolt, or through the reverse light switch hole after you remove it.
You will need 2 litres of 75w80 gearbox oil.

Re: gearbox oil
thanks jasper,wwhere is drain plug located m8,also dose it mater what make i use ???
Re: gearbox oil
would 75w90 do instead ??????
Re: gearbox oil
There is a drain plug at the very bottom of the gearbox, looks like brass or shiny metal, it has an 8mm square fitting or an 8mm allen key hole.
75w90 is a bit thicker, but if you don't get notchy gearchanges afterwards it will be fine.
You might need to remove the air fiter box to see the reverse light switch or the plastic breather fitting.

Re: gearbox oil
If you fill them from the side of the box,
and you take the wrong bolt out, you can end up having to take gearbox out,
ithink thats why jasper5 guided him on filling it the other way mate,

I can't find it..............
can anyone help me please. Have just changed driveshaft and lost a bit of gear oil. Have purchased replacement oil but cannot find the gearbox filler/level plug. Even Peugeot parts department cannot advise. At the end of my tether. Any pictures, photographs or videos would be helpful.
