Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Gearbox
Operation: Gearbox replacement on Opel Astra

Press the rear button and pull (even slightly turning) the upper area of the knob so as to separate it from the stem. If you also need to change the cap, with a plastic lever (not iron!) Or a small flat screwdriver, detach the frame from its seat, an operation to be carried out slowly and delicately. In this car model and in the other Opels built in the same years you will have the luck that the headset will come off together with the frame itself, halving the difficulty of the job. Now disconnect the connector and insert the new headset by engaging the hooks, then mount the tip of the knob by pressing the rear button and pushing it firmly into place.

Fiat Ducato 2.8 JTD gearbox oil replacement

Let's see in this guide the main steps to be able to change the transmission oil of the second series Fiat Ducato, with 2.8 JTD engine. First of all we lift the car and go to locate the gear oil vent bolt, which we find near the transmission; we use a hex wrench to unscrew it, letting it drain the old oil in a container for about ten minutes. At this point we open the bonnet and remove the air intake sleeve, so as to be able to access the gearbox oil filling hole; then we fill up to the maximum level!
