Do we actually need a General Banter thread? After the original thread magically disappeared about 12 months ago it doesn't appear that important. Anyway, if you've got something to say about general stuff, chuck it in here. Take 2.

Anybody here know a thing or two about CVTs, or know someone who does? I've got an X Trail that has very little drive after a CVT oil change with correct spec oil. Help! :(
I have seen info that the Xs CVT do fail often. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j60a8pZjc-s this guy waffles on a bit
Was the correct fluid used? These things are really sensitive to the wrong type. Has it got a dipstick to check the level?
Was it flushed or just a fluid and filter change out.
Well let me tell you about a major brain fart I had the other day. I'm pretty embarrassed by it but it is what it is. I was only going to do an engine oil and filter change. Drained the sump and the expected quantity of oil came out into the pan. I did think the sump and sump plug looked a bit odd, but my mind was in automatic mode and I just carried on. Put the sump plug back in. Oil from drum tap into top of engine (hard to tell how much is flowing in). Checked oil level and realised I'd put a bit too much in. Oh well not too worried about that. Next day get in car to do some shopping and engine warning light comes on and vehicle is in limp mode with no power. Managed to reverse back up the driveway (just). Only then did I realise what I'd done. This vehicle has an east/west engine and the tranny sump is front and centre. The engine sump is over on driver's side, plug facing back. I had drained the tranny sump, not the engine sump. So I drained the tranny sump again to get as much old oil out, then refilled the tranny with Penrite CVT oil NS-2 rated per the Haynes manual. Put 4 litres in then started it up and selected through the gears. Tranny howled like a dog with a broken tail, so turned it off and got another 2 litres into it before it hit the low mark on the tranny dipstick. Car moves but there is so much slip it's undrivable. I'm hoping I haven't terminally damaged it.Quote:

Yeah I've driven forwards and backwards 10m a dozen times so I don't think its an air lock. Disconnected the battery overnight to reset the ecu. Didn't make a difference. Oil level is at cold low notch so will take it up to cold high notch and see if that makes any difference.Quote:

Well she's at cold high mark and still the same. Got a bad gut feeling I've stuffed it. I can't find anything online or in the manual about dealing with airlocks. All seems pretty straight forward - drain and refill! Not happy Jan. :(Quote:

Dunno, can't find it myself.
What was the outcome with the X Trail?

This the one?

Thanks Marko yep thats the one. The XTrail's up and running good as new mate. I was scared to take it out on the road with such little drive through the transmission, but Daz offered me a tow if I needed one so that gave me the confidence to get out past the gates. As soon as I got up to maybe 20kmh the weirdo CVT adjusted itself and away it went. Needless to say I've bought another daily and this freak is up for sale.Quote:

Wasn’t sure where to put this but check out this foundry in Castlemaine in Vic.
They can make a camp oven with personalised lettering on the lid… Awesome I reckon.
Not sure on prices

That would make a bloody good present.
How good is that? Mate, chuck it in the food and cooking section. That deserves its own thread I reckon.Quote:
