Just check oil, water level, fill about 2/3 full with fuel (don\'t brim to top because it can cause surge). If your going big then check gearbox and diff oil too.

am changing the gearbox oil tomorrow, what is the best way of doing this?

shaunwil

Usually plenty of swearing trying to get the bottle high enough to get the oil back in :Giggle

The filling point is on the side of the box and a bit tight, gearbox oil usually comes in a squeezy bottle for filling, just keep filling till it starts draining out of the hole.

I have used a gunson ezibleed kit to push oil back in to the box before, still a long job but not as stressful.

hi before i go for mapping on friday I just want to clarify the plumbing of my fuel atomization pipe???

I have plumbed it straight into the UIM?

is that correct as it will see boost and vacuum???

:3Confused

shaunwil

I have mine plumbed into the front of the air filter so it always sees a vacuum looking at the original vacuum diagram in the service manual.

I drained the gear box fluid off today.. there is two plugs that look like they might be refill points? one is like a big torqs bit to undo and the other looks like a big square plug???
 
The torqs one is directly inline with the drain plug but obviously on the side of the box?
 
I am hoping i have filled the right one now!!! as it took like 3 ltrs to fill there and there abouts before it spilt over????

shaunwil

Manual says 2.5lt so it sounds about right.

Top one is the filling point.
