806 gearbox oil level?

Jan 07, 2004 1 Replies

I posted this question recently but the answer was not correct for my vehicle.. It was suggested the gearbox oil on an 806 turbo diesel (year



1997 ) is checked by identifying the larger bolt head on a ring of bolts on the gearbox extension cover accessible from the left hand wheel arch, where the bolt is the oil level plug. But my gearbox has a ring of bolts all the same size and believe the original suggestion must be for an earlier model.. I know my old 205 used that method .So, if anyone can advise me the correct method I would be very thankful. Thanks in advance. KF.

In that case, I think the level/filler plug is on the final drive, just over halfway up, pointing to the rear of the vehicle. You will need a 21mm spanner to undo it. Not very easy to get to, unless you jack up the front, but that will of course give a false reading! Best checked on a ramp.
