Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / August 2006106d gearbox oil
I've had a very small oil drip for a while now, cannot say exactly where from...engine or gear box side. Just recently I've noticed a constant whine, seems transmission as it continues when I coast out of gear. Thought I'd check the gear box oil level but for the life of me I cannot find the filler/check plug! Can anyone tell me where it is located? (I've also jacked and checked each wheel bearing, they seem good....so what's the most likely problem....are any drive bearings likely to fail on an R reg 105D?) Would appreciate any help or advice. > I've had a very small oil drip for a while now, cannot say exactly where > from...engine or gear box side.

You will have to remove the N/S wheel, and possibly the plastic liner. Then, looking at the end cover, you will see the larger (19mm) bolt at about 4 O'clock. With the car on a level surface, (you might need to kift the O/S front up a bit to acheive this) add some oil until it starts dribbling out. I normally use EP 80. > I've had a very small oil drip for a while now, cannot say exactly where > from...engine or gear box side.

Forgot to say, but most likely place for a leak would be one of the drive shaft seals. The only other place would be the input shaft seal and replacing that would require removal of the gearbox. Check oil level and refill. Likelyhood is that the noise will reduce once the correct amount of oil is present. thanks for this help Brian, I thought I was going daft not being able to > even see the plug!!! > > Will check level now. Update ovies on, spanners out, wheel off and.....it must be me.....but at end of housing is a metal case (forged plate) secured by 4 small bolts to housing......no 19mm bolt head on that....there is a plug with a square head allen key hole just one inch up from the bottom of the housing on that end of the casting....but would think that is too low to set any level (just 1")....... thanks anyway for the advice....shall just have to wait till usual service mechanic returns from hols and then be at his mercy!

Actually that could be it. On the Xantia I've got shot of, the filler plug was remarkably low down. Unfortunately the Haynes BoL is in the wife's car and she's at work until 1:30 am.  SignatureMalc Cheap, but not as cheap as your girlfriend I'd be facinated to know if it was Malc....if so, how little oil does it hold???

The Xant held 1.9L from new or 1.8 if refilled. The Xant box filler can be seen here http://www.malwhite.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/amuse.htm so you can see how low it is. SignatureMalc Cheap, but not as cheap as your girlfriend thanks for the pic.....it could well be the allen plug that I suspected! will check it out tomorrow ta >> I'd be facinated to know if it was Malc....if so, how little oil does >> it hold???

The 106 filler/level plug is actually on the casing below the end cap, about 8O'clock as you look at the end of the box. It requires a square section key to undo it. > The 106 filler/level plug is actually on the casing below the end cap, about > 8O'clock as you look at the end of the box.

SignatureMalc Got it.....thanks very much for this info............. looks very low on the sump but have found it....cheers >> The 106 filler/level plug is actually on the casing below the end cap, >> about [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Aha!

Don't get confused between the filler and the drain. They are the same sort of plug but the drain, obviously, is low down at the bottom of the box, yet facing out toward the wheel. The filler is next to the metal end cover. It takes around 2 litres. |
