Drain/refill ZF auto - help please ;-)

Hi all,

Any ideas where the fill point is on a Rangie P38a 2.5dt auto? Its the ZF 4speed unit, 51 plate car.

I found a screw in the front of the sump near the top and a coresponding one at the bottom, so undid the top and got covered in oil whilst frantically trying to refit it. Is my box over-filled or is there somewhere else to fill it? I sure as hell can't find it ;-)

Cheers H

Well i am sure my local landy dealer said that its filled from the side of the box somewhere??

 Hi.the zf 22hp auto box has a drain plug in the sump,then you refill the gear box via the dip stick tube.then run the engine with the gear box in neutral to check the oil level this is best done with engine and box cold.

                              hope this helps
                   regards  john t :D

I thought they had stopped the filling via the dipstick with the RRC?

That's the right place to fill the auto box, it's just that it's a two man job :D  one in the car with engine running moving the shift lever and the other one topping the 'box up till it trickles out of the filler underneath.
My DII is exactly the same. :x
As with the RRC you still have to check the level with the engine running, shift the level slowly through the gears then into neutral, then check the level, but they didn't give us a dipstick to check it with :roll:
