Just spoke to my brother in law and he said he has a weird thing happening on his D3. It feels like it has a misfire or slight hesitation at 70 in top gear. It doesn't do it at the same rev range in a lower gear. He has just had a filter and oil change done on the auto box and reckoned the garage used a genuine 2 piece filter.

Any ideas or pointers worth looking at?

Cheers Rob

Ask him to get a diagnostic reader to find out where the issue or issue are. Could a simple sensor switch or faulty lead.

hi Rob

could be many things , but a code reader will indeed be the best course of action

wonder if they’ve not plugged / fitted something back in correctly , ie MAF, intercooler house , MAP , or a sensor , incorrect fitment of fuel filter , allowing air to be drawn in , incorrect ATF oil in the the gearbox, not reset the adaptive settings

have a look first under the bonnet for any unplugged connectors

1)wonder if they’ve used the correct autobox oil
2) not reset the gearbox, adaptive settings after the oil cha be

failing that get it plugged in

assume it was ok before the oil was done ,

Could even be oil level or wrong spec oil

Just out of interest what spec oil does a D3 auto box take? Any brand recommendations?

the D3 has the ZF6hp gearbox and dexron. 3 oil must NOT be used

this is the recommended oil @ £21 per litre ZF lifeguard

hope u dont mind there are other oils but wouldn’t wish to be responsible of recommending another if there was a problem as it’s not my gearbox,

If the vibes happen after a mile or so on steady cruise, knock is out of cruise drop to 55/60 until vibes stop back up to 70 and see if it does it again let us know.

Mannol AG55 oil works well in the gearbox
