Where do you fill up your gearbox oil on a 206 1.4 t reg, I can see a drain but no filler plug??
thanks

They're usually on the side, you have to remove the passenger arch lining IIRC.

Or there will be a breather on the top. If you know the exact amount to fill it with you can fill it through there.

Thanks will have a read of that, I got some zx1 to put in as well. Done a engine oil service today with some zx1 added, what a difference sounds alot smoother

Don't put any of that ZX1 additive crap in a MA gearbox Wink

The MA box is VERY picky on oil Wink

Ok a no no with the zx1, Think the correct oil in the box might help, I know the person that had it before used engine oil in it

Ive already posted the part number in this thread for the correct oil Wink

Pop along to your local Peugeot / Citroen dealer & visit the parts desk Laughing

To be fair, a few gearboxes do use engine oil Wink

That's why you should always check the handbook OR ask the manufacturer what lubricant you should use.

As long as you don't overfill the gearbox it will be fine.
