Many thanks for the reply. I am looking at ATF M1375.4 Lifeguard 6 Oil ZF Automatic Transmission Fluid[/size]. Is this the stuff ? Incidentally the fluid was flushed a few years ago and the sump plate changed. Noted I need to fix the leak and will get under the car over the weekend to check for leaks.

Hi,
agree get the leak fixed, I have used Mannol in the past
I have also had a Transfusion done in the past if you dont want to Flush
Just checking do you know there is a specific method and temperature that the gearbox oil needs to be at
its not just a level plug.
Im not sure, but once I check I will know better. I was also going into limp mode when trying to drive but once the engine and box was warmed up the fault disappeared.

It seems that ZF now recommend a gearbox Flush as good maintenance Transit! 2019

The transmission places I've dealt with will only use genuine fluid. Flushing a 100k mile transmission is a game of russian roulette anyway so why make it more risky, or give the customer some cause for complaint when they have problems months down the line.
