I wanted to add torque specs for anyone that's interested. The fill plug on top is 35Nm, main drain plug with the tube is 35Nm, and the little plug is 8Nm. VIDA does also recommend resetting the adaptations and the fluid life counter, but I'm not sure how to do that without VIDA. Anyways, great video and information.
VIDA does NOT reccomend resetting the adaption when been doing a oil change. Only the oil change counter. Also remender, this is not the prosedure that is recommended by VIDA. The correct way to do this prosedure is to pump out the fluid 2 ltrs by each time through the transmission oil cooler.
Never reset the adaptions on a used transmission. Adaptions reset is only for when a transmissions has been rebuilt or had significant components replaced. Only reset the fluid counter for a service like this
Thank you very very much for this quality made video guide, you even included factory recommendations! 🔥 It's very helpful since our shop doesn't have VIDA software.
Thanks for the great video - very helpful! One question though: If you expect 3 quarts to drain out and exactly 3 quarts drain each time, why is it necessary to go through that procedure at the end where you check the temperature and use the overflow pipe? Why not just put 3 quarts back in every time? Won't that guarantee you'll have the same amount of fluid you started with?? Thx
You are correct. If only 3 comes out then you should be good. However some people do 12 qts or more. When this is done the transmission warms up and you can over fill and get weird shifting. Good question hope this helps.
I don't understand how three liters of oil flowed if you didn't remove the long screw. min 5:43 You removed the small screw and three liters flowed, but how?
First you pull the center screw. You usually get about 1 liter. Then you use the 17mm Allen to remove the center piece which is the level pipe. Once that’s removed all the fluid dumps out. Hope that helps.
center screw It's not the oil level?How can a liter of oil flow if you have to fill with maximum oil up to that point.I know what the two screws are. The small screw is for the level. The long screw indicates how much oil you have to put.There is one liter left in the gearbox after emptying. Put four liters in and loosen the small screw to empty the extra one liter.I don't know why so much oil flows when you unscrew the small screw.
Nice video. Around how long while the engine was running, did it take to reach the right transmission temperature? (Weather is summer where i am currently)
It is 3 quart per flush. He flushed it 2 times. The third time the 3 quarts stay in the transmission box (3x3=9 plus 1 for spilling etc is about 10 quarts).
Hi sir i need u r contact details i calling or message u r free time because iam doing past 26 years iam from India iam I facing Volvo s60 D5 auto transmission only 4th to 6th gear failure only parking, reverse, nutral, drive, only 3rd gear running driver mode no auto shifting please i want u r guidelines TCM is resently chenged but no use
