Dave Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Alphard G - 2006, 2.4, front wheel drive I've just drained my transmission fluid through the sump plug (I've had a suspicion that there might not be enough in there and was curious to see what came out). Just under 2 litres has come out. From other discussions here I gather that there might be 4L remaining in the torque converter (but how would anyone know? Perhaps this is low, too). I'm proposing to add 4L but as above, this might not be enough. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a leak from the cooler pipes which is why I thought the level might be low. I've found the dipstick to be hard to interpret as it has always shown the same level whether the engine is hot or cold. This makes no sense to me but I've been unable to get to the bottom of it. The whole thing is very frustrating. All I want to do is to put the right amount of fluid in and naturally I'm worried about overfilling due to what I've read in other conversations here.

Geralt Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 (edited) I'm amazed the volume change with temperature is noticeable. What is your transmission code? Mine starts with a U. Maybe Google that for maintenance info. Edited June 18 by Geralt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
