    Default 1.9 CDTi Auto Box Sticking

    Hi Folks
    The auto box on my 1.9cdti (150) seems to be sticking in second gear, the engine revs build then the car clunks into third, this only happens between second and third. I only have 66,000 on the clock. Any Idea's??????

    Check that oil level is correct first.........and that it's the right colour.

    If it's AF40, I suggest you go to a repair shop for an oil change. It's suppose to be changed every 50.000 miles. It won't come out more than 2.8-3 litres and for best results you should do this at least 2 times.

    All the work it's done from under the car. By work I mean getting the oil out and putting it in. Putting it in it's done trough the same hole.

    Default I have the identical problem

    Hi there. I have a 1.9 cdti Siggy with an identical auto box problem 2nd into 3rd. It has 72,000 miles on the clock.

    Did a simple oil change work for you or is it more complex? I would welcome learning from your experience before approaching a garage with my debot card ready!

    Cheers,

    Andy

    I was suffering the same issues some weeks ago, and yes, the oil change has cured the problem (so far). The clunking also happened when changing between 4-5 or 5-6, by the way.

    Anyway, an Opel dealer (in Spain) has changed the AF40 oil in my '06 Signum (it was approaching the 60,000 miles mark), and the thing goes like that:
    - AW-1 oil at 14,95 euro/litre (x3)
    - O-ring and something else at 3 euro, more or less
    - 1,20 hours to change the oil
    - 1,30 hours to check, program, adjust, whatever
    - + VAT

    So 50 euro in materials, 150 euro for the work (+VAT).

    I don't know how this translates to UK prices, but hopefully it will give you an idea of the relative costs (materials/work hours) and the size of the hole in your wallet.
