Checking the transmission oil level (Vesta 2180)

We carry out the work in accordance with the maintenance plan (see "Maintenance plan") - every 15,000 km. It is necessary to check the oil level if transmission oil leaks are detected during the vehicle inspection. To check the transmission oil level, a control hole is made on the side wall of the gearbox housing, closed with a threaded plug.

To complete the work you will need an inspection pit or overpass and a special syringe.

Sequence of execution

1. Place the vehicle on an inspection ditch or overpass and prepare it for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").

2. Remove the engine splash guard (see "Engine Mudguard - Removal and Installation").

3. Unscrew the plug of the gearbox inspection hole.

4. Using a paper strip, a rolled-up tube or a rod, check the oil level: it should be at the level of the lower edge of the inspection hole.



5. If the oil level is below the required level, add oil using a syringe (see table above. 10.2.1.).

Warning! Only add oil to the gearbox that is recommended by the manufacturer (see table above. 10.2.2). It is prohibited to remove the gearbox breather to add oil!

6. Visually check the condition of the inspection hole plug sealing ring. If necessary, replace the ring. We screw the inspection hole plug back into place.
