Thread: ZF 6HP26 Maintenance

I assumed that was the steel pan kit... Obviously, it's just the plastic replacement kit...

The complete ZF steel pan kit (everything included) costs about $280 + shipping from ZF themselves (Sydney).

Just got my D3 done again at 206000km, this time with steel sump conversion and genuine ZF fluid.. all up cost $500 at a transmission place in Sydney.

At that price I suspect they have not done a full oil change and only replaced the oil lost doing the sump change. A full ATF change will use 10litres and a basic change 3.5 litres and with fluid retail cost $60-$90 a litre (cheaper if bought in bulk) so the price seems a bit light on as the cost of the pan is just under $300 at best plus fitting costs.

Cheers Gary, but I have an itemised invoice that states:
6HP 26 FILTER $45
PAN GASKET $35
Genuine ZF OIL $25 x 10 = $250
Steel sump $100
Labour $70
Incl. 10% gst

They've been in business 25 years and seemed to have plenty of business, including many euro cars.
I did also speak to the owner specifically about using non genuine fluid vs genuine, and it would have been cheaper again using the aftermarket stuff.
Unless of course he's stuffed up his costs.

You got a good price - the price of the oil is less than the ZF price so I guess he has got it at trade price and not put any margin on it. The ZF retail price is about $550 for a 20 litre drum. LR charge $90 for one litre.

Likewise the ZF price for the steel pan kit is about $280 so you got a real good price for the sump. $70 labour is a great price considering the work involved and the need to remove the gearbox cooling pipes to do a full ATF change.

I might have to get my car booked in.
