Hi all, I've done a search to no avail so what's routine for checking the auto gearbox level on my 2000 T4? It's not covered in the handbook, is it the same as my V70? Cheers Steve

Some have electronic now, but most cars with autobox the same. When hot. I usually do it when engine is off for 5 minutes but still hot. Worked ok so far in over 20 years.lol

Got it sorted, I took just under a litre of fluid out to get it down to the right level!!!
