Hi
I think the AT needs some new oil.
286.000 km, and i don't know the maintenace standard of the previous owners. I have driven aprox 11.000 km since i bought it last year.
C5 2,0i 16v Petrol, Weekend Aut 2005 - Chasis no. VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]. I beleave the AT is a AL4.
When i start driving all shifts up and down are smooth, where 2>3>4 are the smoothiest. When the engine reach normal working temperature, it's starts getting much harder shifts from 1>2.
Shifts 2>3>4 are still smooth.
I'm not used to working with cars, engines or gearboxes, so if somebody could publish a how-to, and which tools to use, I would be very greatefull.
I bought 8 liters of mobil LT71141 hoping it's enough to 2 changes.
Thank you
/lars

This document does not address changing the oil, but it does give a procedure for checking the level and topping up: https://frenchcarforum.co.uk/TechDocs/A ... ration.pdf

Re: 2005 C5 2,0i 16v Weekend Aut, AT oil chance
This is the drain and refill procedure for you on the AL4 for the C5 MK II:
Notes:
Drain & Refill
Check the Oil Level
Prior Conditions :
Take note of the following conditions:
Stream of oil then reducing to a sequence of drips
Refit the oil level plug (3)(equipped with a new seal)Tighten to 3,3 ± 0,5 daN.m.
Sequence of drips or nothing
Refit the filler plug (3)(equipped with a new seal)Tighten to 2,4 daN.m.
Too high a fluid level can cause:
Notes:
- The gearbox must be drained when the oil is hot (60 °C minimum), to eliminate the impurities suspended in the oil.
- The oil change is partial, since the converter cannot be totally drained.
Topping up Cylinder Tool (-) 0341. |
Remove:
| Refilling
|
Prior Conditions :
- Vehicle level
- Check that the gearbox is not in downgrade mode
- Remove the filler plug (3)
- Add 0,5 additional litres of oil in the gearbox
- Apply the brakes firmly and move the lever through the various selector positions
- Gear lever in position "P"
- Engine running, At idle
- The oil temperature 60°C (+ 8°; - 2°)
Remove the oil level plug ( 2). Note: Distance of 'X' for the EW10 Engine is 48mm (which yours is) |
Stream of oil then reducing to a sequence of drips
Refit the oil level plug (3)(equipped with a new seal)Tighten to 3,3 ± 0,5 daN.m.
Sequence of drips or nothing
- Refit the oil level plug (2).
- Stop the engine.
- Add 0,5 additional litres of oil in the gearbox.
- Repeat the top-up procedure.
N.B.: The level of oil is correct when the stream of oil becomes drop by drop.
Refit the oil level plug ( 2)(equipped with a new seal)Tighten to 3,3 ± 0,5 daN.m.
Refit the filler plug (3)(equipped with a new seal)Tighten to 2,4 daN.m.

Re: 2005 C5 2,0i 16v Weekend Aut, AT oil chance
hello again.. I ended up with having my garage fix it. Rodovre AutoCentrum, Provensvej, Rodovre, Denmark did a fine job and is 100% familar with the process.
Why i didn't do it my self? Well first of all it was a lack of time issue, and the i got a load roarring sound, like if the exhaust pipe was touching the chassis, wich i wasn't. It was 2 broken "suspension" to the engine!!.
It was fixed and the gearbox got 750 ml of oil, and the old lady now runs smoothly noiseless like a limo, wheater it's cold or running at working temperature.
Thank you guys for all your help.
I probably get back, next time i run into uncharted teritory...
until then have a nice summer
