Berlingo gear box oil

Postby ChrisB » Fri Apr 13, 2007 8:55 pm

Well my next job is to look at the Berlingo gearbox oil level and top it up if required as it does appear to only hold 0.5 ltr :shock: and I've heard rumors it can leak out and cause major bearing failure :cry:

So this is my next job this weekend..............................

Right well today I got round to check the oil in the gearbox

First off get some oil , the gearbox uses EP 75w/80 API GL5

Then find a flat place and remove the offside wheel

You may need to remove some of the plastic inner wheel trim, mine has already gone due to the battery change but I need to re-fit it as it does protect some connections around the vac pump.

You should now see the gearbox filling plug if you peer behind the drive shaft.

Then its just a case of undoing it ...........yeah right , I couldnt get a spanner on it , nor a socket so ended up finding a bit of square bar that fitted the square hole in the plug and on the end of a 9mm socket as below

I removed the plug which wasnt that tight and about 10ml of oil splurged out and the van was tipped to the left a bit so it looks like it was actually slightly over filled , suits me 8)

So the plug went back in and jobs a good one, but I am a lot happier now I know theres a good amount of oil in the box.
