Bongo Fury

hello all.

i want to renew the oil in my auto gear box on my 2.5 td bongo.
im guessing that i pour the new oil down the dipstick shaft, but the problem is im not sure where to locate the drain plug. plus iv seen comments on here about a filter in there.

cheers,
andy

I take it your talking about your Auto box.
Easy way is to get a PELA pump and "suck" it all out of the dipstick tube and then refill via same tube..
Hard "better" way.
Suck out as much as possible and then remove the box sump......clean it all out and the filter then reassemble.

There's no drain plug, you have to drop the pan. Although on THIS POST a Pela pump was used, there's plenty of other good advice that should help you. There's also more info ON THIS POST

Defintely better to do it properly and remove sump and clean out sludge that will be in it, plus filter and magnet. Using Pela to get out what you can from the dipstick hole avoids it all cascading over you when you remove the sump. Lots on here about how to do it (Kirsty is the expert), choose a windless day so grit etc. can't get blown into the exposed innards whilst sump is removed. Or, if you have a reasonable mechanic with a ramp near you, treat yourself and get it done (but have Kirstys instructions so you can tell them exactly what you want doing). Adrian in Bury did mine for a v. reasonable price - I helped refill the box which kept his time down a bit.
