jasim Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hello all, I wanted to know how i can get my hands into checking the gearbox oil in a peugeot 307 since it does not come with the ordinary dipstick which is how i used to check the oil in my old car. Anyone can help me with this alternative method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farhaad Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Alternative method? this should be interesting. i never knew that there is no dipstick in the peugeot 307 ... what about the other models? anyways ... i should learn these small things too. Good post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanz Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Yeah its important you keep track of the gearbox oil ... helps with the long-running of the car. Its something so basic that every person should know about and should take matters in their own hands. I think for the alternative method you need to access the gearbox from under the car. Then again I cant be sure because i dont know about it. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djamal Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 hey good job learning new things for your car. the process is simple for a 307 .. i have a 307 too and i dont know if other peugeots have dipsticks or not but this is how i check the oil in the gearbox ... or have it checked basically. - Park the car on a flat surface. - Raise the car with a jack or something. you just need to access the gearbox level plug. - Place a pan under the gearbox level plug so that you can catch the oil. - Start the car and wait for it to go idle - Hold the drain plug in place with a combo-wrench and remove the level plug with another combo-wrench - The flow of the oil till tell you how much oil is present in the gearbox... if it flows and then drip towards the end then the gearbox has enough oil. If there is little flow and starts to drip quickly or no oil comes out then you need to fill it up. - Reconnect the level plug and turn the engine off .. open the bonnet, remove the air filter, DC the battery and remove the battery tray, locate the filler plug on the top of the gearbox, remove it after loosening it, insert a nozzle and add 0.5 lt of the fluid. Reattach the plug and repeat everything to insert things in again. - Remember to connect the battery again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasim Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 okay this is so much more work than a dipstick oil checking process. I dont think its mine for the doing. Will call up Swaidan and make an appt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
