Salutations everyone,
My trusty 2002 Citroën C220 CDi Sports Coupe automatic has seen more than 280K miles, even though I put just about 4,000 miles on it annually these days. Thanks to your assistance, the vehicle has been dependable and has had a low operating cost.
It wasn't long ago that the engine would rev under light to moderate load with only partially engaged gears before re-engaging. Despite pushing the dipstick all the way down, I can't see any fluid on the end of the aftermarket one I used to check the gearbox fluid level, and no warning warnings have shown up either.
Evidently, there is gearbox fluid in there, but I must replenish it immediately. My intention is to add 200 ml at a time and then wait to see how it looks before adding more. I don't know how to tell if there's enough because my dipstick doesn't have any levels on it. How many centimetres (or inches) from the dipstick's tip would be sufficient?
I would really appreciate any prompt guidance.
Even though I'm not usually one to brag about my abilities, I've dropped everything to focus on this because it appears to be incredibly fundamental.
PS. The gearbox fluid has been changed at least once, but considering the car's age, it would likely be too expensive to do it again.
Tks
