Gearbox Oil drain plug?
My mate nearly rounded off the drain plug which is shaped like an allen key, fortunately he stopped before this happened. 

Which has resulted in me not getting my gearbox oil changed.

Anybody know the correct size I need to undo this or where I can purchase the correct size from?

Cheers

F40 gearbox oil.
Alright,

Looking to change gearbox oil in my 2011 2.0 CDTI. 
From Rustys list I've got that its an F40 box and needs 1.5 ltr oil.

Question is, which oil?

I can remember reading somewhere not to use the same oil as from the factory (too thin?) but I can't find the info again.

Grateful for any help.

Cheers.

2014 Astra 2.0L 165 HP F40 gearbox quantity of oil??
  • Hi all,
I have searched around on so many forums now and unable to find a definitive answer as I have heard rumours of vauxhall overfilling the F40 gearbox so I have heard it holds 2.4L, 2.6L, 1.9L, I dont have a clue how much is in thereor whether should be putting in less than what I get out because that what I have seen on a few forums. Would really appreciate some guidance on this!! All I do know is I will be using Redline 75W-85 GL04 oil for it... but how much of it??? ??

How do you check gearbox oil on A20DTH/160ps?
We have a 2011/11 Astra J CDTI 160.

Always felt the gears are a bit stiff, is there a way of checking the oil level, or does something else somewhere else need some lubrication?

Comparing to my other cars, both Insignia's with the same engine, the Astra really requires more force on the gearstick to engage, not harsh, but noticably more pressure.

Clutch is fine, we have had to four years and its been the same since day 1.

Thanks.

Gearbox whine m32
Probably been pushing it for too long, but 2017 1.4t gtc has developed a whine, starting July last year at around 30k. Increasly getting louder. 41k now.

Reading that the gearbox is the notorious M32 and is common issue. Generally the whine starts above 20mph and get louder with speed, no movement in gear stick, can be a bit stiff when cold.

2.0 CDti auto gearbox fault
My 2013 Astra-J 2.0 CDTi auto is starting to play up when taken on a journey of more than 10 miles. Driving around locally it’s fine, but putting it into D after approx 10 miles or more, it snatches into gear quite violently like the clutch has gone in a manual box. If I turn the engine off and start it up again, then it’s fine for a little while. No error codes (using Op-Com).

It's done approx. 65,000 miles. Am I right in assuming it's the AF40 autobox?

The gearbox oil has never been changed,

2.0 CDTi Auto Gearbox Oil Change
Just a quick note to say that last week I had my auto transmission oil changed on my 2.0 CDTi Astra at 90,000 miles. I've had the car 5 years.
Although the car was driving ok with no real problems I had wondered if a transmission oil change would improve it.
Got the transmission oil changed at the local Vauxhall dealers, cost me just over £80.
Noticed an immediate improvement in the way the car drives. It changes up quicker, holds onto a higher gear for longer before changing down. Feels like
