Checked the levels yesterday and it is just above the little notch past hot. The colour is that cherry red on the cloth.zeek wrote:Thanks Marius I will check it this afternoon.4ePikanini wrote:I'd check the basics first
Is the ATF cherry red?
Have you checked the ATF level?
- start car and go for a drive to get the auto box up to temp and then stop on a level surface keeping the car idling
- move from park to drive pausing at each selection for 4 seconds
- go to neutral
- open the bonnet and pull the ATF dipstick, wipe clean, re-insert and pull out again. The oil level should be at the "hot" mark.
