Noticed another dipstick on my STi5 RA today, when going round checking levels etc.
Its just under the intercooler, next to turbo. Bent with a little ring at top to pull it out. There wasnt any fluid at even the 'L' indicator!! Some fluid had come off the side of the 'tube' as I pulled it out though. Light in colour, quite a peanutty smell to it. Is this gearbox oil? Sorry if Im sounding thick here but hey...! I take it this is probably quite important! so where and with what do I top it up with? Any help / ammo to shout at the dealer I bought it from last week would be most appreciated! Cheers Mark... |
Yes, it is the dipstick for the gearbox/front diif oil!
If there is nothing above the "L" then get it checked ASAP Russell |
Sheeite!
That would probably explain my crunchy / notchy gears then! I'll get on the phone to the dealers tommorrow! Cheers mate... Mark... |
Well, I checked the level again this morning when the car was cold, and there DOES seem to be some oil in there after all! (phew)
A tad under the 'F' indicator but at least theres something in it. It definately has the odd crunchy gear, hunting revs on change up and transmission whine though, so I phoned the dealer I bought it off and its going back in to them on the 30th for, in his words 'them to inspect the gearbox' and another couple of things that need sorting... I get the feeling he doesnt believe me though! Got the old line, 'well it was fine when I sold it to you'!! Whats the betting they tell me theres nowt wrong with it? :rolleyes: |
