Hi Gang and transmission specialists,

MY 2012 4.4L TDV8 will get a full flush soon ("full flush" as in they plug to the transmission fluid circuit and inject more oil that it contains, replacing 100% or the old oil). They willof course fit a new ZF filter.

The company that does it mainly does german saloon but is a ZF retailer. They have not this procedure yet on a 4.4L TDV8 L322, (they did my 4.4L Petrol one and many Sports, Disco and so on of course, being a ZF official dealer)

Anyway, before I go there to get it flushed, I would like to know if there is a particular technique to replace the filter (i.e. lift the engine à la RRS and Disco 3/4? or any thing I should know/tell them?

Thanks in advance lads. l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

Interested in this, anyone know any ZF specialists near Stansted Airport and what a flush of the 8 speed box might cost. 2016 (L405) Autobiography in Black with Ivory - for ULEZ
2014 (L405) VSE in Black with Ivory
2011 (L322) VSE in Black with Ivory
2005 (3.2 V6) Porsche Cayenne in Black with Savanna
1999 (P38) VSE in Burgundy (?) with Sand

Similar technique to the 6 speed boxes, but uses a different oil (at twice the price)

I would expect a flush to cost somewhere between £400-£500 on the 8 speed

Thanks Mikey, will most likely have it done next week.

So not "lift the engine" as on the Discos' and Sport then, good!  l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l
