    td4 is roughly the same mate. mines does lock up about 3 seconds after the change but in that 3 seconds the revs go up two about 2500 then once locked up sit a 2100. roughly 50 mph

    mines is the same mate but once warm it changes smooth. i think they are all a bit like this when cold. my concern is the lock up in 4th and 5th so fluid change is a good starting point in any case

    is that the carlube atf-u that u used in your td4 mate ? ive been looking at this stuff on ebay but no mention of it being n402

    fbh advice ?

    The fbh heats up the coolant faster on the cold days if u have one there will be a little exuhaust under the front bumper at the passanger side
