    uh-oh! "Transmission Service Urgent"

    Not a great start to the week. Went out yesterday in the car, started playing up between 2-3 3-4 4-3 3-2 shifts then lost 1st 3rd and 5th and got that lovely message. Looks like the Geartronic gearbox is dead/dying. Drove straight home and parked it up hoping to get chance to Vida it. been to work this morning and 1st is practically none existent, 2nd and 3rd not much better. ok in 4th but won't go in to 5th. Oh dear.
    Waiting for laptop to boot up now to Vida it but the initial diagnosis isn't good.
    Bear in mind it has had a fluid flush in the past 8 months, B4 servo cover has been done and an adaption has been done in the past 6 months.

    Fingers crossed, it's too good to scrap and money's too tight to afford the £2k + gearbox swap

    Is it possible to do a manual conversion on these or do the electronics make it a nightmare?

    Anyone selling a V70 T5 manual?

    Manual conversion is possible but would probably cost as much as another auto box.

    Hope it's not too serious mate.

    Was the correct fluid used in the tranny flush? get that wrong and it's KO for the box.

    thats the print out of the faults recorded by VIDA. Sounds pretty terminal to me. That describes exactly whats it drives like, like it's slipping.

    Anyone want to buy a somewhat mint P2 V70 T5 with a fudged box?

    Just a thought..

    Has it been using any water recently?

    I ask because the tranny cooler in the rad can leak and fill the gearbox up with water. Many auto boxes drown this way and you might need a new rad to go with the new box.

    No mate, in the nearly 2 years we've ran the car it's never used any fluids other than screen wash lol
