Auto box level plug

simondhopkins · 27th April 2022, 20:47

Just looked at the technical bulletin for checking correct level, and see that it requires a 5mm allen key, yet on my autobox is just a normal bolt.

Has anyone else had this?

Just curious.

Yup, not uncommon, just make sure you undo the correct bolt

Ah thought previous owner might of swapped it out for some reason.
