ChrisH Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hi. Just bought a 61 plate cmax, 2.0tdci titanium with the powershift box. Never really having used an auto box in the past, I wondered if there are any issues I should look out for with this. Its done 17000 miles, and was used mainly for town driving with a bit of long distance thrown in. Now its mainly motorway driving. How often does the fluid need to be changed etc. It had its 3yr srrvice done by the dealer, infact its been serviced by the dealer since new. Would welcome any thoughts.

iantt Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 make sure the transmission oil and filter has been changed at 3 years or 37.5k interval which ever the sooner, if it hasnt then i would recommend it gets done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Couldnt agree more, I had the MK1 CMAX 1.6 TDCi with the cacky ZF gearbox - they didnt bother changing the fluid as part of the service and many many many customers ended up with an exceptionally large and expensive paperweight!

ChrisH Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks. Had an email back from the dealer saying that he can confirm it was done. Theres nothing in the service book though. Would thus email hold up with ford if anything was to go wrong with the box? The box appears absolutely fine at the min. Will it be on the ford database??

jeebowhite Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It should be but the lack of marking in the book stands in your favour email back advising you will be using this email if any further issues develop as you have nothing written in your possession confirming the job was completed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 If its been done then surely they can print off a copy invoice of it being done even if they cut off the previous owners details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 You would like to think, but if I trusted every garage who said 'oh sure we did that job' either not having a clue, or knowing they didn't to cash in... There may be no invoice to claim so the response may go.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
