My First oil leak!

Damn gearbox seal has finally started causing me grief. I was warned about this 18 months ago before my 2nd trip to Germany as there was a little bit of seepage, and after my last service a month or two ago they said it was getting worse.. but I hadnt noticed anything on the floor and I wasnt going to panic until it made a mess.

 

But now there have been a few drips on the driveway from the middle of the car.. I guess its about time I get it fixed :D

 

Apprently a bastard of a job to do. Anyone had this done before? I think 'Paul's had this before right?

Hi Rob,

It's not really a pig to do - gearbox has to come out obviously.

As standard practice, Toyota only replace the bottom seal....sometimes it's the top one that leaks and it looks like it's coming from the bottom. Both the seals should be replaced which is standard practice at Phoenix.

I would give Mark at Phoenix a shout. They also have a big supply of V160 oil in stock.

 

Cheers,

Ro

I think its the rear seal.

 

I have been quoted about £300 for parts and labour, they said 3 hours to do it roughly.

 

As Matt says that seems rather steep, who's quoted you for it?

 

I've had another look at my invoice and it was actually £218 from Phoenix, but that included parts and labour for a PAS flush.
