Hiya, love these videos thank you for posting. Do you know if the Castrol ATF DEX 3 oil can also be used in the Auto shift reservoir on the automated manual gearbox?

[@AutoBuddynz]

Thanks for the comment. The Hydraulic shift mechanism operates on a specific oil LHMP001 thats the penrite code. Do not use atf in there, it will damage the system. If in doubt I recommend getting the genuine oil from Ford

Very helpful video, thank you.

[@AutoBuddynz]

Glad to hear that! Thank you.

Thanx i will be changing mine soon on a 2003 , 2.4 DI transit.

[@AutoBuddynz]

Great!

[@arnietwo11]

Did it today and saw that the previous owner had plastic tied the cooler to the engine side of the radiator ??? I took off the hoses and re routed them, and reinstalled the cooler back in front of the radiator onto the clips that were still there !! I removed the reservoir and cleaned it inside and out ! So all back together and sounds quieter now ! Gracias otra vez !

That's why my steering wheel is turning hard, I think this is the cause.

Had no choice mine went dryish caue the damn oring at the line down blew during the cold, Drove home changed it now bleeding was jumpy at first after filling but air it is

[@AutoBuddynz]

Try changing and bleeding the system, if you hear constant whining from the pump, further investigation would be needed.

[@jjt1093]

@@AutoBuddynz seems to be good now had bit too much oil in there so drained a bit and and sat there from lock to lock quite a few times now it is good :) thanks for the vid it helped a lot

[@AutoBuddynz]

Where did you get the blue pipe from 10mm was it ? Would this process apply to the mk7

[@AutoBuddynz]

Blue pipe is just a standard silicone pipe which can be bought from any automotive parts store, I just measured the pipe the OD is 17mm and the more important part is the ID (internal diameter) which is 10mm, so any hose with a 10mm ID will be fine.

[@AutoBuddynz]

And yes same process for a MK7 but you must ensure not to run the system dry at any point.
