I just sighed wearily and put the right stuff - and right quantity - back in. It didn't have that pretty metallic paint-like sparkle though... Strangely, the gear change is now a lot smother.

The weird thing is, this car was clearly previously owned by someone who loved it. Then again, if you didn't love it, you'd have just left it like it came from the factory. Who knows \Ö/

Question, does the (C5) gearbox on the 1.6D have an internal oil level sensor that reports levels via Lexia ? (mine has the oil temp gauge on the dash btw)
