I bought dr tranny now too. I drained 4 litres of old oil again out of my system refilled it with 4 litres of fresh millers millermatic atf dm from amazon I put what I can in with engine off, and put the rest in with engine running as after about 2.5 litres the sump can't take any more finally the dr trannny. Mines running sweet as a nut for again rite now and I'm hoping to have a bit of spare cash next year to treat it too a filter and a mega flush just for piece of mind. I put mine oil and dr tranny through the Allen key hole on the drivers side of the gearbox. I drained my oil through taking the pipe off the outlet on the cooler under bonnet, starting engine until flow stopped, removed about 3 half litres. Then drained half from the sump plug. I didn't use a ramp just raised suspension.

Just to confirm, when we are talking about Dr Tranny... are we talking about "Dr Tranny Instant Shudder Fixx"?

Yes.
And
By undoing the gearbox radiator pipe.
Draining a reasonable amount out and inserting Dr.T

There is an easy and straightforward way of removing approximately 50% of the gearbox oil by removing the pipe from the top of the gearbox fluid radiator and extending by tube work into a container and running the engine, when fluid stops coming out shut off engine and then by pumping an equivalent amount of new fluid into the open stub of the said radiator ( I used an adapted pump up pressurised garden sprayer. To achieve this
I will try and find the link and post in on this subject. I have done this process myself and by topping it up going for a short drive and Then repeating the process of draining and replacing 50% etc you can change a large content of the existing oil, combined with a tube of Dr tranny my gearbox issues shudders engine revs throbbing on load have disappeared and the car now drives like it's had a new gearbox.
This was done approx 20k miles ago and still good All the Best

That's great advice. Was it very messy to do? Was it necessary to jack the car up? I have never jacked my car up... Im not sure what the best way would be to do that safely....
PS was the garden sprayer any good for gardening afterwards?

Not messy at all and no jacking of the vehicle is required the only tricky bit is adapting the radiator stub to fit to the garden sprayer I think hose pipe is the right diameter with a jubilee clip and extending the disconnected hose into a bucket to collect the old oil, I think 15mm copper plumbing pipe and hose pipe again done the trick
Ps: Car drives great but the Roses have never been the same!!!  All the Best

| D3 Surges when I start it |
|
I have a D3 TDV6. A couple of months ago, beginning of autumn, the vehicle one morning started surging after being started. Aggressively and constantly up to 3000 rpm and even higher. Drops back down and surges back again. If I put it into gear, the surge stops, but the vehicle is lethargic when driven. Fuel consumption is also higher.
It doesn't do this all the time, but in summer it is worse.
Some observations: if I turn the key for the vehicle to run through its diagnostics and the 'coil' light stays on for an extended time, the vehicle is guaranteed to surge. Somthimes after driving for a couple of kilometres it will settle, power returns and it is fine. If standing in the sun for some time, the 'coil' light is almost guaranteed to stay on for a while and when started it surges.
I have had it in twice for diagnostics, but nothing comes up. I was told it is the EGR at a stage, then told, it might not be that.
Sometimes while driving it randomly starts to surge. Which is new. Mainly happens when started, and then continues to do it post that.
I thought it could be the turbo or a sensor, but I have been told it may well be the gearbox. Not an expert on D3, so I'm not sure what this can be. Especially when supposed experts and computers cannot tell me what it is.
I was wondering if anyone has heard about this or experienced anything similar with your vehicle. Eager to get this fixed.

Mine also the MAF. Very nice man from the AA cleaned up my MAF and it stopped the surging. Go figure.
Just started doing it again last week (20k miles further on). MAF clean by me with the MAF aerosol should sort it

| Vehicle stalled and now surging |
|
Hi. Yesterday our TDV6 LR3 stalled on my wife while going down a hill. Would have been relatively slow 30-40km/h. After coming to a stop she restarted it and since it has surged - gently! - throughout the rev range. Idles OK.
Unfortunately we can't see any error messages as we're waiting on a new console to be fitted. The old one has been repeatedly fixed for dry solder joints, so hoping a new one will fix that problem.
A week ago the fuel tank was half full and the vehicle hasn't done much since, so we're pretty sure its not an empty tank.
I suspect this is engine/fuel related, rather than gearbox, but knowing how everything is linked, I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
