Hi guys,You may have noticed my post about changing the lower engine mount and trying to avoid taking out the drive shaft. Well I have decided to do it properly and remove the shaft.

Well judging from that it would appear that they have not sold me what I asked for. I will try and exchange it and if they still say that is the stuff ill just get a refund then pick it up from another dealer  As all you guys that have replied must of done a gearbox oil change, then you might be able to help me with this question  . What is the best way to make sure the car is level when you are refilling the oil? With the passenger side wheel off I would imagine it might be a bit awkward. Do you just adjust it on the jack? |

take the arch liner piece off and leave the car sat on its wheels, remove the level plug and fill up through the breather at the top.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Cheers for the reply mate. I wasn't sure if you could get to, or see the level plug with the wheel on |

If your careful when removing and replacing the driveshaft without nicking the seal then it can be fine but i have had peugeot dealerships tear brand new ones to pieces. I normally lay under the engine guiding the inner shaft passed the seals while my helper deals with the other half of the shaft - but doing it sole it'd be real easy to bugger the seal.You'll also have to take into consideration its age, if they are already weaping then this'll finish them off. ________________________________________ Cad Monkey will work for chocolate biscuits....I'm not kidding |

I took the other Total oil back and got the Pug oil . The guy at the counter was convinced that the Total oil was their own and that there was no other for sale. I thought I might get that kind of response, so I made sure I had the part number with me . Even when he did bring the oil out, he told me it was just the same just in different packaging. Which is a bit of a cheek considering the Total oil was 44 quid! Shot himself in the foot really, as I just said I |

I'm not sure I'd get the Fuchs one. That's a GL4/5 oil. The GL5 rating is enough to ruin a good LSD... I'm guessing Peugeot gave the gearbox oil a BV oil rating for a reason (bearings etc.).GSF do sell a Total 75W80 BV oil though, or at least my local one does. ________________________________________ Ex Owner of 2000 Phase 3 306 GTi 6 China Blue - You shall be missed1974 Triumph Stag 1989 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.6 2003 Alfa Romeo 147 JTD Lusso 2005 Mondeo Ghia X 3.0 Estate LPG |
