My apologies for rehashing a well discussed topic, but after reading a lot of information about the amount of oil the M32 gearbox takes I am confused.
Today, among other things, my mechanic changed the oil in my 159 TBI M32 gearbox. He says he drained the gearbox and refilled it with 2 liters of oil.
All the information I read on the forums points to the M32 gearbox taking 2.3 liters, with some people overfilling it to almost 3 liters. Most people say they filled it with about 2.2 to 2.4 liters.
Now, the 2.3 liters number could be for a fully empty gearbox, as if you drain it, there should be around 0.2 liters left in it, so my mechanic putting back 2 liters would make sense. I guess he filled it to the oil level check plug.
But, what confuses me even more, is that if I look at the manual that came with the car, for the TBI engine a 2 liter amount of gearbox oil is listed, for the 1.9 JTD, which should have the same gearbox it says 2.3 liters. My mechanic also showed me a chart in his shop saying that the TBI takes 2 liters of gearbox oil.
I would just like to be clear, is the 2 liters for a TBI with an M32 gearbox enough, and why is there a difference in the official documentation for seemingly the same gearbox.
