Well this is a very convenient thread. Recently changed up from a D3 to a D4. Pretty sure it hasn't had a mega flush before. No issues but wanted to get it done more as a preventative/service type thing. Geoff did my D3 a few years back but he isn't around on the forums anymore (think he moved away also). Can anyone recommend someone in South East London / Kent?

Ian Bodsworth / Bodsy is mobile and will come to you. He's done lots of them and doesn't put any rubbish back in. Highly spoken of on both the forum and faceache.

ian@updatesbybodsy.co.uk or if you're on facebook it's "updates by bodsy ltd". Message him and he'll give you a bell back.

Bodsy can't make it any time soon so have it booked in with Dartford Transmissions early October. I'll report back how it goes.

Fact #3: Transmission flushes can damage your transmission.

Quote:
As mentioned above, a transmission flush (using an external machine) may not be good for your transmission. Here is an excerpt from a technical service bulletin that provides an opinion on transmission flush machines:



Can anyone explain why this is?

Our machine has 2 pressure sensors, and 2 flow sensors

It measures the pressure and quantity of oil being pumped out of the gearbox, and automatically replaces it with new oil of the same volume and quantity. Exactly the same as if the oil were being pumped through the cooler and back into the gearbox...


Just out of interest, how long does this take to do, and does the filter get changed as well?

cheers

The whole process takes about an hour, but the 8 speed needs much longer to cool down, before the level can be accurately checked Thumbs Up

Officially, 7 weeks Embarassed

For a flush, we can squeeze in a few weeks time
