Delberts Wallet Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 OK, how do I do it. There appears to be fillers on both but no drain plugs. Rumour has it that I have to remove the diff and box to drain the things. Please tell me this is not the case.

julians Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Just done the gearbox oil on my quaife internalled type 9 (but I presume its the same for any type 9 based box). Removed the top cover (8 bolts I think) suck old oil out, pour new oil in (up to refill plug level , 1.5 litres), put top cover back on using a new gasket. easy. No idea about the diff,sorry.

Delberts Wallet Posted March 12, 2002 Author Share Posted March 12, 2002 Thanks for that. That plate doesn't look that easy to get at. I take it that its the easy option though. What did you use to "suck the oil out" with out of interest. Gareth Who Dares Twins bum.gif bum.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julians Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 The plate was no problem on my car (zetec engine), could reach all bolts easily enough.I guess it may be sat a bit further back and hence be a little be difficult to get to on a K car, but I dont know. We used a hand driven oil pump to suck the oil out, I think yacht chandlers sell them for sucking the oil out of inboard engines on boats. DT do sell one but its a bit expensive (50quid or so).
