[@dannydee2668]

I just got a C1 after 15 years on bike and it's a great little car but garages hourly rate is though the roof. I've done most of the service myself thanks to you and others on KZbin.

[@CycloneCyd]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@bordersw1239]

Yep, got quoted £400 to change the front passenger seat belt, got a decent one from a breakers for less than £30 and fitted in less than an hour. Front discs and pads less than £40 fitted, oil and filter service less than £30, another £20 for air filter and pollen filter.

[@josedorsaith5261]

Amazing how cheap it is to fuel. Like it runs on glitter & dreams more than petrol

[@howardatherton3889]

Excellent reminder on the fill plug removal first. Something I had known to do at one time, but forgot over the years.

[@canadiansaabfreak6530]

That has got to be the single most adorable exhaust pipe if I ever seen one lol

[@CycloneCyd]

Huh? I'm clearly missing summat here, lol

[@Sarah-kt6ui]

A very helpfull video, thans! I changed the gearbox-oil today (8th July 23) exactly according your video, without any problems! 😊 Greets from Switzerland

[@t21dml]

Thanks for the clesr instructions did this all and ordered all the bits you suggested, finally had time to do it and all went smooth enough. Thabks as always for all your great vids.

[@CycloneCyd]

Nice 👍

[@Johnwenn1]

Well Done. Excellent step by step guidance. Just about to attempt the Daughters gearbox oil change right now. Thanks

[@dunks4212]

Just finished this. Was so easy thank you!

[@CycloneCyd]

Great job!

Top.clarity! thank you.

[@shahzadchoudhary3845]

Great handy videos,thank you for taking the. Time to teach me.

[@JLyck]

It might be a stupid question, but I will ask it anyway. What are the reasons for changing gearbox oil? What would happen if I didn’t had the oil changed?

[@CycloneCyd]

There are no such thing as a dumb question. Asking questions is how we learn. The oil degrades over time and with use. It's ability to lubricate, cool and protect (gears bearings seals) reduces. The manufacturer has determined an average lifetime of around 150k with no further action. Refreshing the oil occasionally can extend the box life massively

[@JLyck]

@@CycloneCyd I was wondering how a gear box with old oil behaved? You mention that it protects the gear bearing seal. How would an unlubricated seal behave in a car? Will I have difficulties shifting gears or something similar?Thanks.

[@CycloneCyd]

@@JLyck noise, difficult shifts, leaks, economy loss and eventually complete failure of some sort. My son's Polo suffered a seized box at just 96k miles having never had an oil change. Average 'life' being 150k means 1/3 to 1/2 of all boxes will suffer early life failure before this. If you do nothing, you might be lucky or you might be unlucky.There is no way to predict which. Changing the oil is not a guarantee of long life, but it does stack the odds in your favour instead of against you. Oil is cheap - a 'box rebuild is not.

[@dawbool9552]

Do you happen to have uploaded a video describing step by step how to change the clutch of an Aygo 107?

[@B.a.S.t.A.r.D.]

Excellent job very helpful thank you 😀👍

[@farmerbrown4570]

Hi, You say whatever you do don’t put GL5 in but on that bottle of oil you’re using it says GL5?

[@lennonpolo]

Liking your videos, just subscribed!

[@CycloneCyd]

Thank you

[@trsfc1595]

The link to the gear oil you provided is for GL4 GL5 ?

[@nednedtom]

I saw someone use a large syringe with a tube attached. And filled it from underneath.

[@KukLinSky]

Than you

[@AnjeyJT]

Hello! Thank You for Your time and such useful content. I would like to ask You what kind of gearbox is maintained in this video. Is it a 5-gear 2 Tronic or some other? Thank You in advance!

[@Spazzumiera]

Did the original drain plug featured a magnet to catch any metal residues ?

[@PaulCairns-y9x]

I believe it is the same engine and gear box as a 2012 Toyota yaris 1litre 3 cylinder. Am I right in saying it takes 1.7 litres of gear box oil?

[@dingenmetgebeur]

good video! what kind of transmission do you have? i cant find the maintnense book of my aygo form 2007. this car has a semi automatic, and i cant find on the internet witch oil it needs to have. do you know? greetongs from the netherlands👋

[@SumeetBGoode]

How mentioned dropping the car down the check the level of the oil is correct but didn't say how to check it. Can you please explain this? Is it just that if its overfilled that it will spill out of the fill hole? Can you even overfill this?

[@CycloneCyd]

The fill hole is also the level hole. When the level in the 'box is correct you should just be able to discern oil on the threads of the hole. Any excess will drain back out from the fill hole.

[@SumeetBGoode]

@@CycloneCyd Thank you.

[@mikhaillindan9091]

Thanks, if you had the car level (just for ectra safety) would the drain plug still drain fully and would fill plug still fill (fully)? Is having the right sideof the vehicle higher strictly necessary? thanks

[@MrNikolasKyriakou]

The automatic aygo 2013 has also gearbox oil?

[@ows3991]

Hi, I have a 1.0ltr Peugeot 107 automatic 2013. Could I also use this mannol oil? I was told I could use this for my auto gearbox, Can you please confirm this? Thank you

[@stoglegend]

What do you do with the old oil to dispose of it ?

[@MrTwisted1977]

I usually drink it tastes fantastic.but it's upto you

[@underdogunchained]

Did the end of the hose pipe fit into the fill plug hole?

[@CycloneCyd]

YES. my hose is 18mm OD and was a snug fit so had to be pushed in firmly. Hence recommending 16mm OD if you are buying a piece especially.

[@solomonatlanta5953]

Thanks for this Is one litre of oil enough?

[@CycloneCyd]

NO, absolutely not. The capacity is 1.7 litres, you should not run the box with a severe shortage of oil. Oil is important for lubrication of bearings and cooling of gear teeth (the contact between any two gears is a few mm^2 only.

[@solomonatlanta5953]

@@CycloneCyd thanks for clarifying I just bought one litre Should I buy 2litres of the gearbox oil you have used and linked?

[@CycloneCyd]

@@solomonatlanta5953 I'm very pleased with the Mannol in both the C1 and my Saab. Gearchange is much improved. So, I would have to say YES

[@CycloneCyd]

@@solomonatlanta5953 if you can help it, don't mix oils.

[@solomonatlanta5953]

@@CycloneCyd thanks for your quick response Are you sure you gearbox oil you use and have linked is compatible the citroen c1 2005-2011? 1 litre petrol

[@rogryoyo]

It is the same for the automatic gearbox?

[@Spazzumiera]

Which one are you referring at ?

[@supergeten2]

Automatic has a filter inside.

[@josedorsaith5261]

You're a star, fella! Including the size of spanners, pics of the right bolt & torque values saved me hours 😅

[@dkenyon8825]

Thanks Cyd, I’ve watched a few of your C1 videos now and they’re consistently clear and well paced. Saved me a fortune! Regards, Don.

[@CycloneCyd]

Thanks for watching Don, that's so good to hear and definitely makes it all worthwhile.

[@davidedinnocenzo1302]

Just followed this tutorial for a 2008 Yaris 1.0, that has got the same motor (the 1FR-FE Daihatsu) shared on the Aygo too. Same specs for trasmission oil 75w80, 1.7 litres :) thanks for your valuable instructions!

[@TinnoRambo]

And does is shift better?

[@davidedinnocenzo1302]

@@TinnoRambo I had the feeling that shifted Better. Also, seems that the First engages Better too. But It's not that radical feeling, so take It as It Is ;)

[@tejaskumar7394]

hello, you doing a very good job and your videos are very usefull. i have a problem with my aygo 2008, i need your help. i recently purchased this car and the airbag light blinking dont know how to fix. i see a broken wires on both driver and passanger seat, wire colors are orange, yellow and green with yellow striped. but im not sure is this the reason for that. airbag light goes on for two second and goes off for two second and this cycle continues. please help me with this. am a big fan of you.

[@FlyingSpaghettiMonster2000]

Hi, the oil in the link from mannol is gl4 and gl5. Is that OK for this model?

[@CycloneCyd]

Yes

[@FlyingSpaghettiMonster2000]

@@CycloneCyd thanks . Used this video to change mine at the weekend, thank you very much.

Another excellent video: useful and instructive. Thank you!

[@CycloneCyd]

You are welcome!

[@Twinturbo_]

It's not an automatic gearbox, don't need to change oil.every 60k miles.

[@mos.f5810]

My question is if I dont want to change the oil how to know the oil inside is enough ? is there any lever or the oil must be just little under the fill plug ?

[@CycloneCyd]

The fill plug is the level

[@boriszur1669]

👍📽️👋

[@onlyme972]

Nice vid, while you are about it maybe treat the front sunframe and suspension arms with rust converter.

[@Unknown-jl7mg]

how much different boxes are the 82hp 1,2 ?

[@CycloneCyd]

Sorry, don't know. Not familiar with the 1.2 in the mk2

[@SumeetBGoode]

Where can I find the part number for the gearbox if the sticker is missing from the driver side b pillar?

[@lxx7035]

I'm a little confused about the M18 size for the fill and drain plugs you recommend: the wrench size is 24 mm, so shouldn't be M16 size for the plug ?

[@gabo7uk]

Thank you so much for these information and guide. More power and keep up the good work you are a big help

[@Polecat54941]

Very well demonstrated!

[@CycloneCyd]
