Glad to help


here's some more info:-

5. Oil capacity
Empty gearbox : 1,9 litre .
After draining : 1,8 litre .
N.B. : The gearbox is lubricated for life visually check the sealing at each service visit .

URGENT : It is necessary to drain the gearbox and put back the exact quantity of oil, in the event of an external leak or a repair .

6. Refilling
Refit the drain plug (1) : tighten to 3,5 m.daN .

CAUTION : The filler plug (2) is discontinued from RPO 9975 . refilling with oil is via the air vent (3) .

Remove the air filter housing .
Remove the air vent orifice (3) .
Refill the gearbox via the air vent "3", using tool [1] .

URGENT : Apply the exact quantity of oil according to the engine version .
Refit the air vent orifice (3) tighten to 1,5 m.daN .

So, If your C4 is newer than RPO number 9975 then it has to be refilled via the air vent 3.

Tool (1) referred to above is like a funnel feeding a thin tube.
