I know its a girlie question but can someone tell me how to check my gear box oil on my vauxhall corsa.thanx.?

Go get yourself a haynes manual for your car. It'll tell you definitely how to check the transmission oil and walk you through a whole host of other car maintenance jobs and even some major repairs.





Start small, and build up your confidence. You might enjoy working on the car yourself, and you'll certainly save a fortune on garage bills as long as your careful to follow the instructions.I know its a girlie question but can someone tell me how to check my gear box oil on my vauxhall corsa.thanx.?
Hi,you will be best doing what I do go to a garage %26amp; let them do it.I know its a girlie question but can someone tell me how to check my gear box oil on my vauxhall corsa.thanx.?
Get an expert to do it for you.
There is a plug in it, remove the plug, on level ground, fill till it comes out of the hole
Small bolt on the side of it, you need a special key to get it out so you need to take it to a garage, wont cost much though and a 5 minute job.
undo the filler nut on the side of the gearbox, get some gear oil and squeeze some in until it overflows, not hard at all, no need to get ripped off by some mechanics!
ok if its manual htere is no dipstick , theres is 2 bolts on the front side of gearbox(allen bolts if i remember correct) undo the bootom one and usiing a special filler( halfruads) fill it untill the oil leaks out the hole and thats it (gear oil) if its an auto then their is a dipstick just take the measure from that





mr?
There are 2 dipsticks under the hood, one for engine oil, the other for your transmission. Transmission dipsticks are usually the one further back. If the car is manual, pull the dipstick out, wipe it off with a clean towel, reinsert it and check the level. It should be between the 2 lines. If the car is automatic, do the same thing, but while the car is on and has been running for several minutes.
Depending if you hgave an automatic there is a seperate oil dipstick under the bonnet usally a black topped one,


(the engine oil is a yellow one) making sure the car is at running tempreture switch off engine let stand for ten minutes then check, otherwise it is a bolt on the side of the gearbox situated about two thirds up (about 17mm) remove this and if no oil leakage then top up with gear box oil ( if you get one of those horrible bottles with a pull up spout i would buy a length of plastic tube that fits into the filler hole insert a funnel and use them as trying to do it with the bottle can be clumsey and very messy ) on topping up you do so untill starts to trickle out so a bit at a time is the best bet, if you need more than a litre bottle you need to question why.


You could always go to a spares shop and take a peek at a haynes manual then once you know put it back get the stuff you need, saves you about 拢19 buying a book that you might look at once in a while.
To fill a vauxhall gearbox you need to get underthe vehicle about halfway up there is a bolt which is a bung this needs to be taken out you then remove the breather from the top ( it looks like a black tophat) then you pour the correct grade of oil into the gearbox until it comes out of the bung hole then you replace the bung and replace the breather





I would buy a haynes manual and if you havent any mechanical experiance try and find a decent mechanic that does jobs in his spare time
It is a pretty awkward task as the gearbox oil is generally accessed from under the car. Don't attempt it unless you are fairly competent at this.
