Thread: Western sydney mega flush?

I don't but am interested if anyone has the machine.
They run for $500 or so on ebay.

Andy,
If you search for an automatic service shop that has a Wynns machine, they will be able to do it.

I found a place close to home that has the machine - but would not do the work on my D4, due to a risk of killing the ZF box. This was due to the batch of ZF which had a poorly made stator bush, as mentioned by Graeme before.

Let me know if you want their name.

Thanks Jonsey,

Would appreciate their details, fyi the D4 has a thermostatic valve on the gearbox oil cooler transmission line which only allows oil flow to the cooler when hot, so they can't be flushed easily with a wynns machine (unless you pre heated the new oil).

Thanks
Andy

Here ya go, ZF Services recommended service centres, there 25 in the western Sydney area.

Andy - from what I understand, the hot ATF from the gearbox goes to waste and the fresh cool ATF goes back in. In other words - yes, the gearbox has to get up to temp before you start dumping the old ATF.

This is the place I tried: Sutherland Shire Home Tuning & LPG Centre | motor vehicle mechanic and maintenance

As they declined to do the work (for fear of the lead-free stator bush issue), I went to another shop. They replaced the pan with the ZF steel BMW one, filter and 5.5L of ZF LG6. I am about to have another dump and replace of ATF and that will do for another 60k km.
