Nemo 2009 1.4 Petrol - manual gearbox oil

Unread post by Merce101 »

Hi all, made a rookie mistake when changing knackered strut mount/bearing, ive pulled the drive shaft out by mistake and lost some gearbox oil. Thankfully it was jacked up in the front corner so haven't lost it all.

Any advice on how big a job draining and refilling it is (no idea where the drain and fill plugs are) and what oil it should take (read differing opinions of 75w80 and 75w90).

If its a pig of a job ill take it to the garage, saved a few quid doing the bearing myself at least :-D

Not sure if it makes any difference but its the 5 door version. If anyone has any pointers on common issues on these please let me know. Already had both strut mount bearings go, the MAP sensor was playing up and I feel like its way down on power with a lumpy idle. But, it starts on the button so dont want to mess anything up too badly chasing non existent issues. 99% of google searches come back on the HDI works van version so its been hard to find any definitive answers on anything.

Many thanks!

Run a diagnostic check and see what fault codes are stored before doing anything. :)
