Hello all, Im currently in the process of carrying out a service on the automatic gearbox on my Arosa and have a a few questions. 1. What is the ATF capacity? I have drained the pand and removed the oil pan and filter and just of 3L has come out but my workshop manual says there should be 5.7L. Is there more fluid it there i haven't been able to drain? Was it underfilled? How much should i put back in? I would just put the same amount in that i got out but the gearbox wasnt functioning properly so i want to make sure everything is perfect. 2. I have read on here that you also need to change the Final drive oil. How do you do this? Ive looked online and cant find any information and my workshop manual doesnt seem to mention it. Does this use a different type of oil? How much oil does it use? Any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks, ill certainly start with a fairly comprehensive service and go from there. Fingers crossed that solves the issue. Where can i find information of what types of fluid and filters i neet etc?

Hello all! I have recently acquired a very very cheap 1.4 auto Seat arosa from a family member with the intention of fixing it up and selling it on (with a bit of luck, for a profit!) The main issue the car has apart from cosmetics is with the gearbox. The issue seems to present itself in 2 ways. 1. When under load i.e. accelerating up a hill the car often will not shift into 3rd gear, simply staying in 2nd untill it hits the rev limiter or I let off and it eventually gets its act together. 2. Also when changing from 2nd to 3rd gear (but not exclusively when under load) the car will select neutral or lose drive instead if engaging 3rd gear. I appreciate its most likely very difficult to diagnose just based on a description however i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I hope to fix the car myself with the help of some friends. We are fairly competent at car maintenance so we can most likely manage it. We just dont know where to look yet. Thanks very much in advance
