Replacing primary cover
Category name: I want to replace a partHow:
-Drain approx. 1litre of oil out of the transmission
-The transmission does not need to be removed from the vehicle but may be lowered together with the engine for easier access
-Loosen the three bolts and clips which are fixing the primary cover to the housing.
-Use a screwdriver to lift out the primary cover. Use some cloth to protect the transmission from damage (see Fig. 1)
-Remove the big O-ring and discard both O-ring and primary cover
-Take a new O-ring and assemble it
-Replace a new primary cover and fix clips and bolts with a torque of 9.5Nm +/- 2.5Nm
-Refill transmission with 1litre of oil

-For leakage from lower left screw hole of primary cover, bolt can be repaired by replacing the original screw (481283) with the screw with glue (481986).
There is no need to replace the primary cover if the leak is from that screw hole.
