I have done an extensive search and come up empty as to how to do a fluid change for the actuator mechanism in the piloted manual gearbox. Car is approaching 350 000 kms and recently has been playing up when shifting gears. I have vast experience with both the AL4 and AM6 auto boxes regarding the hydraulic blocks/solenoids going belly up, imo due to leaving the fluid unchanged because Peugeot saying that it is in for life.... yea right! 350 000 kms on this oil would surely have degraded it enormously... ?!! Clutch is fine in car, just the shifting of gears is becoming a bit sketchy, especially in the lower gears.
I can find info on servicebox as to how to depressurise/remove actuator mechanism/repressurise and bleed system, but nothing on how to drain/refill system. What if you replace the system with new unit? how do you go about refilling it? Another thing is what oil to be used. Stealer here in NZ wants first born child as deposit for oil, and EVERYTHING is a minimum of 3 week wait for it to come from France. Googling for alternative available compatible makes is a bit sketchy. Seems ZHM hydraulic oil is maybe equivalent? Penrite website suggests LHM oil may be good to go but it is marketed as a suspension oil.
Can anybody help with draining/replacing the hydraulic oil and what can be used as alternative oil and how much is needed?
