Default Re: TDCI Powershift 60K Service Costs

Another update:

The service booklet is a little confusing and contradictory. The 6 speed auto transmission capacity is 5.5l, and 5.6l 'inc filter'. I would assume the filter is something that needs to be changed eventually?

Nowhere does the servicing involve transmission fluid change (all are 'inspect for leaks'), having said that, it does specify the fluid you need for 'top up or replacement'.

Quote:
Automatic transmission:
Fluid level should be checked when fluid leaks are evident, or if transmission performance is reduced. Fluid changes are not required unless your vehicle is operated continuously under severe conditions, eg. heavy towing, police, taxi of door to door delivery.
Note this is the only comment anywhere about transmission servicing, and does not differentiate between any of the optional transmissions available.

This is per the LV TDCi Focus service booklet.

Cheers,

Jason
