During normal driving, normal speed for the gear.
Yes there must be some slip during a gear change or the gearbox would be punished

Maybe température controlled differences in operation?
Pretty sure it didn't do it last winter. Not 100% though as my memory is rubbish.Maybe température controlled differences in operation?
Pretty sure it shouldn't free wheel though at 35

You may have been just below the lock up threshold speed for the gear?
Stand by to open your wallet
God, don't drive down there... Just make a call with a sobbing sound to your voice.... "p-p-please sir c-c-can I have some more"
yes oil was contaminated when checked in december.. dont know what with though.
its likely that new box/tc will be needed as if the tc is failing then the resulting metal containment will knacker the rest of the box even if it seems 'ok' for now
new TC now will be false economy as the oil (and everything else) is already contaminated and worn as a result.. it wont get any better.. so save my pennies until it gets worse and becomes more of an urgent need
i'm guessing circa £5K for new box/tc fitted (i'm not doing that)
maybe a new oil cooler too as that will be full of crap
i could do a full flush and clean, but gut says its past that point

I feel bad now bitchin about the struggle I've had removing the tank to fit the new pump that's been on the shelf since just before Xmas.
So I won't....
I'll have a look for those bits tomorrow! Finally got a free day
I didn't notice sparkles but didn't have a torch to shine directly on it.
Metal bit could also be from the TC? It was dark though. It had an oil (part) change with filter around 18 months ago.
The garage, listed as approved on the zf website never got back to me.. i guess despite the talk, he didn't want the job. When i chased up before Christmas.. oh our usual supplier can't quote for the oil as doesn't have any stock in, we're trying somewhere else.
Not sure i believe that
I'm officially screwed now.
Diag kept telling me to verify the keyless entry module by going through the process on screen of adding a new module.
All good, verify key press on key 1.. passed. Verify key press on key 2.. passed.. then asks me if the ignition on.. no it's not.. so it's deleted both keys from memory and it's now completely blank. Start button doesn't even do anything now, not even 'smart key not found' so i can't repeat the process as it requires the ignition to be on

I don't see how it can verify a key press then tell me it can't verify the key
Think I've figured that bit out, and confirmed the relevant module is faulty but I'm not sure if it's the one in the roof or the one in the tailgate by the wiper..
Logically, it sees a key press, so the one in the tailgate must work. But that doesn't explain why the key won't lock or unlock from outside.. I'm confused.. i need to buy one or the other
