Guys
could someone tell me where the dipstick is for the geartronic auto box as i can't see anything. i can just about see something that may look like a dipstick but it's behind a couple of hoses
thanks

On my s70 it was behind the hose that comes from the radiator/intercooler. I'd imaging it would be in a similar place on yours.

As you look at the engine it's to the right of starter motor ,right near the hoses very low down not very easy to see,but it is yellow in colour on the top of the dipstick it says about the oil aswell.

The dipstick is usually located behind the steering wheel ;-)

No that's the nut holding the wheel on.

Ah yes, sorry. The dipstick is the one who bought a car with a gay-tronic gearbox :duck:

There's nothing wrong with the Geartronic box

I hope that statement doesn't come back to bite ya!!

I love my Geartronic... so much I'm treating her to a fluid flush.

Mines already had a flush by previous owner.
