How to replace the driveshaft gearbox oil seal and how to top up the gearbox gear oil
The seal was £5.99 and the gear oil was £6.99 both delivered free from Ebay
The gearbox on this 307 1.6 hdi holds around 2 litres of gear oil..
you do not have to buy new gear oil as the old oil you have drained out can be used again..just use new oil to top up
The job took around 2 hours and no special tools were needed.. so it’s a suitable job to be done by a DIY mechanic

Hello, how did you remove the battery tray ?
Thanks for the correction…. l guess l missed that one…. please clearify if the vehicle was still drivable before the repairs. A mate is having a similar prob. With oil leak from the turbine joint to e gearbox and vehicle doesnt move.. i.e., gears not engaging…. could this be similar? Any advice on this?
Nice video…. would be nice starting your video by telling what the symptom is/was…. in this case does the transmission stop shifting? Was the vehicle driveable at all? What was the observable symptoms??? Good work anyhow…
Hi mate, do you know if this could possibly throw oil up onto the back of the engine when driving at motorway speeds? My car keeps leaving small drips of oil everywhere and i've replaced: Rear main seal, head gasket and rocker cover gasket but there is still oil dripping from the car and it's hard to determine where it's coming from. the engine block is in almost mint condition and the back of the engine is wet with oil near where the gearbox joins
The gear oil filling point is actually on the end of the gearbox behind the nearside suspension leg remove the 19mm bolt then with the vehicle on level ground fill until it seeps out of this hole then replace the bolt
how many liters does it hold
I like watching car repairs. nice one Andy 🙂
good job mate
